[C4D] I need help! / Chaos Scan Material: No file loaded

« on: 2023-06-06, 13:38:27 »

Hi,
i try to use Chaos Scan Material and i viewed the Youtube Tutorial. I loaded the Material from your site, i extracted it and i dropped the .vrscan into the File-Window in the basic slot. But than i got an error message: Failed to read VrScan file
My Sys Config: MacBook Pro 16 (late 2019), Mac OS 12.6.6 (Monterey), Corona 9 (Hotfix 1), C4D R21
Greetings, Wolfgang
P.S.: Please tell me, how i can attach a ScreenShot. I attached a small JPG into the attach window below. And then i pressed the Picture icon in the toolbar. And then?

Hi Maru,
this is very unfortunate. I guess that means no Chaos Cloud Render service until 2024 or maybe 2025. Correct?
Sad greetings, Wolfgang

Hi guys,
when will you implement chaos cloud render to Corona for C4D?

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Speed on M1 Macs

« on: 2022-12-16, 18:23:54 »

Thank you Tom. Can you tell me roughly how much faster a MacBook M1 pro M1 max is compared to a MacBook pro Core i9?
I also believe that there is no difference in CPU between pro and max.
I'm sure many here would be interested to know what Corona'sg future with Apple looks like. After all, we don't want to spend money on machines that are hopelessly behind equally expensive Windows systems.

[C4D] General Discussion / Speed on M1 Macs

« on: 2022-12-16, 13:55:40 »

My MacBook pro with Intel (2019), 64 GB Ram, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB needs about 00:02:05.73 for your bench test.
The MacBook M1 max needs 00:02:22.7.
According to Cinebench, the new M1 is about 1.5 times faster than my Intel MacBook pro.
So why isn't it 1.5 times as fast with Corona? Is Corona not yet running natively on M1 Macs?
Is it soon to expect that M1 Macs will be faster with Corona?
Many greetings, Wolfgang

[C4D] General Discussion / Re: Corona and Mac OS Monterey

« on: 2022-11-15, 11:02:06 »

Hi,
is this just a M1-Problem or also a problem for Intel-Mac and Monterey?
I‘ve to upgrade to Monterey because Vectorworks 2023 doesn‘t run with Catalina.
I checked on the C4D-Site that my R21 is running with Monterey on my MacBook pro (late 2019, Core i9, 2,4Ghz, 64 GB Ram, AMD 8GB GPU).
Is there anyone who can tell me that corona V9 will also run on this Config?
And what would be about Big Sur?
Greetings, Wolfgang

[C4D] I need help! / Viewport selection

« on: 2022-10-18, 15:57:36 »

Hello,
I just watched the viewportselection video (https://youtu.be/WpZMzklGvwk). In the video it is SAID that a cutout is rendered. But you can SEE how only the selection (camouflage) is re-rendered. Everything else remains in the VFB. Does this work the way you see it in the video?
When I select viewportselection in C4D (R21, Mac OS 10.15.7, Corona 7 Hotfix 2) only the selection is rendered, but the rest is black. What do I have to do to make this work as shown in the video? I am afraid it will not work :-(
Many greetings, Wolfgang

[C4D] I need help! / Objektmask behind glass not present

« on: 2021-12-10, 20:05:06 »

Hi guys,
i need a mask for an object/material behind glass. But i don’t get a mask. I’ve made an object (Cube). Then i’ve given a Corona Render Tag with an object buffer to this object. I’ve made e simple material and made enable „Propagate masks > Through refraction“. In the Multi pass i’ve made a new mask object and given the same object buffer ID of my object (in this case 4) and also i’ve given it  teh material ID of my new material (in this case 7). I made enable „Allow propagation trough refelction/refraction“.
But i don’t get a mask. What is wrong?
Greetings from  Wolfgang

[C4D] I need help! / 3ds Corona materials for use in c4d?

« on: 2021-11-21, 12:08:45 »

For example: I am looking for a furniture model and I find a model that is in C4D and 3ds. But there are Corona materials only for the 3ds model. Is it possible to load these materials in C4D? Do they have the same look?

Hello Houska,
just for information. IIn this moment i tried the scene with Corona 5 hotfix 2 (C4D R19). But on my Machine/Configuration its the same very slow result:

Hello, Houska,
I've now had time to deal with the problem again.
In fact, it seems to concern only this file.
I retested the whole thing with C4D R20. It is much faster than R19 (3:07:07) but still much slower than R19 Corona 4 (2:08:49).
I have uploaded the file (by Dropbox, Name: Analyse_NN_BER_L.zip). There is also a folder with ScreenShots. There you can see how long the renderings with the different versions took me.
And maybe you have some tips to optimize the scene ;-)
Best regards
Wolfgang

Hello Houska
thank you for your offer, but first i have to ask my client if i may send the data.
Can I tell him that the data will be kept confidential?
Best regards Wolfgang
