[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Corona 10 very low render performance

« on: 2023-07-28, 13:07:00 »

still the same.

I figured out that it got a bit better when using a Sky object with a 16k .hdr as a light source.
Rays/sample went down to around 200. which is still far away from your 24 :)

Also tried 9 hotfix 1 again. Here its much better still. But I observed that IR starts with around 20 Rays/sample and after Pass 10 it goes up to around 90, where it will stay then.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Corona 10 very low render performance

« on: 2023-07-13, 09:55:43 »

Hi,

just upgraded to 10. So far everything was fine. Just IR seemed to be rendering quite slow.

Then trying to render final in 4K. After 5h only 3 passes!!! 17K Rays/sample average!!!
Not very compex scene.

To track the reasons I tried a very simple test scene. Two cubes and Corona Sky/Sun.
500 Rays/sample in IR
Then downgraded to Corona 9. Same scene 100 Rays/sample only.

So something is wrong here I think and I will probably continue with CR9.

Any Ideas?

Thanks J

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Tonemapping not updating in IR when camera tag beeing changed

ah ok, never used that before. will try it out!
please try to keep coronas usability as clean and smooth as it used to be. 
thanks;)

ok thanks.

and what does this mean? now nothing gets saved into the camera tag :(

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Tonemapping not updating in IR when camera tag beeing changed

« on: 2022-11-06, 17:31:21 »

Corona v9

Hey there,

we use a stage tag alot to render a set of single still cameras. also in IR we go through the several cams by changing the frame in the timeline.
In older Corona Versions the camera tag  (tonemapping) could be changed and the changes were visible in th IR immediately. Now it need a restart the IR every time. super annoying when having to adjust 10 cameras consecutevly :(
unfortunately in the framebuffer the tonemapping is always connected to the camera that it was started with. this has always been this way. but now the workaround through the tag is not working aswell.
why is the tonemapping tool getting so complicated anyway? can annyone tell me why its better to have different tonemaps saved instead of just duplicating the camera an changing the tag?

thanks!

Sorry can't help you with thisone. But this tool would be super helpful. How many times I found my final render in the morning ruined by regions. Super annoying!
Would be cool if you let me know when you get this to work. THX!

@j.nosh — That's one of the great things about the Corona Renderer. It is fully compatible with most if not all of Cinema's built-in tools. Never forget to mix C4D's great tools and filters with Corona. That's the magic.

Absolutely!! I'm in love with C4D since 2004. Together with Corona there are endless possibilities. Sometimes you forget about the native cinema tools :)

Yes this is highly necessary! We do professional archviz. We exclusively select by materialtype in postpro! Please add this feature in CR9. THX!!

Yeeeessss Magnets Yooooo!! :)

Thanks FS. Exactly what I wanted!!!

These Cinema onboard tools cant be underestimated.

Hope that mixing cinema shaders with corona materials won't be to buggy.

Hey, thanks for your example. But I know how the UVW randomizer works. :)

But I still need to randomize the gamma/color/etc  for each tile of a texture.

How would that help, when there is no option to tick randomize each tile? :)

OK maybe it's still a bit unclear what I want to achieve.
1. lets say you have an image of one tile. (first image attached)
2. you map it onto an object, repeated in U and V direction. (second attached image)
3. now every tile looks the same. (with uvw randomizer i could rotate or offset each of the tiles randomly, effected by an initial seed factor.)
4. but what I am missing is the option to colorize each en every single tile randomly. (third attached image)

I know that for this example I could use photoshop, to let's say make a map like the third image attached and then use the uvw randomizer to offset the texture by the fraction of the rows and lines.
But this example is just a simple one to show what i mean. In reality i have very complex shader structures in my material which i can't achieve by the photoshop workaround.
Is it  a bit more clear what i want to do?

Thanks
Jay
