[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Corona Render Test M1 and M1 Max

Yes those numbers do look about right according to the internet! 20 core Ultra makes sense as my 10 core M1Max MBP scored just short of 12000 pts.

So I was expecting more of the i9 but maybe my logic is off - but in turn that does make the Corona results odd too.

@Chules - just wondering - you haven't accidentally limited the number of cores on the i9 Cinebench in the preferences have you? (Something I've done before!)

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Cosmos Beer still incorrect materials

Couldn't find my old post from ages ago but the Cosmos Beer Glass assets still all come in with transparent beer materials.

The main overheating "issue" shouldn't be a thing on the Studio as much as on the laptops - but who knows what "cleverness" Apple have put in there.

I agree on the Cinebench - that doesn't make a lot of sense!

At the end of the day a 10core iMac (20 threads) i9 has much higher speed base clocks than the 20 core Ultra - so there I would expect the i9 to win in certain tasks - and also the Intel Embree rendering libraries that had to be converted to work on Apple Silicon are no doubt still in their early stages of optimisation - so I think there are still things going on/ being developed.

Do you have any Corona render node licences? You'll need at least one in addition to your main workstation license.

Yep a 16 core iMac is absolutely going to be faster than a 10 core M1. M1 is good but not magic :-(

+ I do think as has been mentioned elsewhere there is stuff under the hood that makes the MacBook Pro machines just that little bit more cautious with their CPU use. If anyone would like to gift me a 20core Mac Studio Ultra for "testing" I'd happily do some more testing :-)

I think a fair point to make as well is that I would think the M1 ports of the Intel Embree raytracing kernels (that I believe most CPU renderers are tapping into) may still be finding its feet?

Works as expected here... on Corona 9 Hotfix1 ?

Its part of the License Server Installer? I don't see a new version for download unless I'm being stupid...

I'm happy to help here on my M1 Max MBP - but wouldn't it be wise to provide a scene we can all use in exactly the same manner to standardise the results?

Just my 2c
