[C4D] I need help! / Object Visibility

« on: 2023-09-04, 07:03:20 »

Hi all,

I am creating an animation where I want to adjust the visibility of an object from 100% down to 0% over the course of a dozen or so frames.

If I was using native C4D renderer's, I would use the "Display" tag and keyframe visibility using opacity slider. But because I'm using Corona, this function only works more as on on/off function, and doesn't support fade transitioning.

Is there another method I can use, using some sort of a Corona Tag? Any help would be great. Cheers!

Sadly no luck with V10. I might look for another HDRI, but it still doesn't address the problem. Time to move on. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Thanks Maru, I'll check out corona v10, I'm using v9.
The attachments in my initial post were from a full-frame render with 30passes.
It was occurring during each pass, but cleared very slightly with Corona HQ Denoise.
No other denoise applied.

Thanks for looking into it. It looks like you're experiencing the same anomaly also.

I believe it's related the the HDRI image I am using. I don't seem to get it with others when I've tested them – but I really like how this one lights the scene. So strange.

[C4D] I need help! / Refractive Caustics Issue

« on: 2023-07-20, 11:04:07 »

Hi legends,

I have an issue. I am doing a render for a client of their Rosé bottle. I'm using Refractive Caustics on the glass and wine materials (as you would expect).

Really happy with results - but when you get up close, the caustics in certain areas are producing a bizarre pattern. Almost like a bump texture.

I have burnt too much time trying to solve this, so here I am. GI/AA adjustments in render settings didn't help.

The scene is primarily lit using a 32bit HDRI, but also a plane with a light material attached (with gradient edges to emulate a softbox)

Below is a series of screen shots to help demonstrate. They're screen shots of the final 30pass with a Corona High Quality Denoise Pass.

Oh, and I'm getting a few fireflies but thats the least of my concerns at present.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers from Australia.
