[C4D] I need help! / Mapping Randomizer on Corona Pattern
« on: 2025-04-26, 01:58:21 »
Is it not possible to use the mapping randomizer node with a Corona pattern?

In other words I have a material that has a mapping randomizer on the diffuse color. Regardless of which "Randomize by" option I select, i.e. mesh element etc I can't get the individual pattern elements to be randomized. I tried with the material on the base object as well as placing the material on the pattern object and changing the "Material from" parameter to "Pattern Object" on the the Corona Pattern object. Phew, hope that made sense.

Did a couple of runs and submitted it to the database. This was for the 28c M3 Ultra.

Score (rays/s) 14629388

I just got a M3 Ultra Studio base 28/60.

Some Cinebench 2024 scores for you:

Cinebench Multicore CPU
MacPro 2019 16t/32c Xeon : 1169
Mac Studio M3 Ultra 28c: 2666
PC I9 14900KF: 2016

Very happy with it. Basically silent and doesn't get that hot or generate much heat when under full load.

Wondering if this is still on the radar? Curious that 3dsmax can do this but C4D can't.

No, I didn't get that option. Gave up and went back to Mac OS.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Initially when I tested it I was getting 1500 in Cinebench. It's hard to know with the published benchmark results which are stable and which have been pushed to the max just to get the best score. I figured 1500 had to be to low but wasn't sure whether 1800+ in CB is more the norm or not.

Hardware / I9 14900K AIO Suggestions

Hey All,

Looking for some recommendations on AIO for a I9 14900K. I have air cooling right now.

My I9 gets around 1860 on Cinebench 2024 multicore and 11.5k rays on Corona benchmark. Both results are below others so presuming my cooling would need some work.

You can OPTIX for the interactive de-noiser.

Getting the missing DLL error for Cudart64.dll.

Using an RTX A4000 with driver version 553.09 on Win 11, Corona 12 Hotfix 2.

There is no Optix folder in the Corona directly as mentioned here:

https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528206782609-NVIDIA-GPU-AI-Denoiser-Errors

If I choose Custom in the GPU installer there is no option to select Optix.

Any help appriecated!

Correct. In the end the only way I could get to it was to "Google Corona 12 download". If on the actual Chaos site there was no way of getting to that page. I had logged a ticket with Chaos and they said they were working on it.

General CG Discussion / Can't download Corona 12
« on: 2024-07-06, 00:05:11 »
So now that the corona render website redirects to Chaos, I can no longer download Corona. My license is through an educational course so it doesn't appear in your Chaos product account page as something to download.

How am I now supposed to download it?

Thanks - that's a better workaround. Not very intuitive though.

Thanks.

That means for each object or collection of objects they all have to be an on separate layers and the lights would have to be on separate layers. Works but not ideal.
