[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Viewport re-loading materials - Display problem - Since C4D 2024 and 2025

« on: 2024-11-22, 04:31:59 »

Hi,

If it helps with anything, in investigating the problem.
I realized the preview of materials reloading takes way different times depending on how textures are linked if in Asset Browser, local, or full path.
Eventually is still related to the long-time issue of the Asset Browser links.

Hi!
Also happens to me. Quite annoying to wait for all material previews to render each time I open a scene, before did not happen.

Hi Maru
I mean like a television screen or a projection where the texture is a sequence of images or video.
A similar feature is possible in Enscape or Unreal, where we export the animated map within the material.
I sow this post where is possible in 3dMax, I wonder if there is a way in C4d.

Hi Maru
It seems the perfect thread to ask a question I did the other day in the forum.
I was experimenting with the trial the other day and wondered if there was any way to animate textures in Vantage.
I read in a forum there is a way but I could not figure it out, maybe only 3dMax? if not is it expected in the future?
Btw, found out in my experiments with the trial, that the dropdown menus from the Animation time of the Sun (date, year, hours, minutes) were not able to see the input numbers because the left and right menus had fixed widths.

Best,
Luis

Hi Billy,

Thank you very much for your recommendation.
I was not paying much attention to the cooling system, but as your advice is crucial to make it a priority so don't run in overheat with these specs.
Thank you for your advice and I certainly will consider the suggestions.

[C4D] General Discussion / Animated textures in Vantage

« on: 2024-08-22, 11:27:56 »

Hi,
Is it possible to export animated textures for Vantage?
For example to have LED screens or projections in the Scene.

I read in an old 3dmax forum that exporting from 3d Max is possible but did not find a way in Cinema 4D.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Luis

AMD will be releasing new processors soon.

Hi tatarka,

Thank you for the advice, but as long as I'm aware the new AMD Zen 5 processors are only for desktops (Ryzen 9 9000X series)
For the laptop is the Ryzen Ai 9 HX 370... and this is exactly my question, seems they are not better than the old Ryzen 9 7945HX according to benchmarks.
Open for any thoughts and suggestions :)

Hi there!

For those who understand a bit better of hardware that could give me a advise.
I am planning to update my Laptop and I am a bit undecided if it is better for Corona render, to go for an old good one ( in the benchmarks, Ryzen 9 7945hx and i9 14900hx seem the best) or wait for the new AI processors like the i9 Core Ultra or Ryzen 9 HX 370.
Maybe the Corona team can have some insight into if in a near future, it will have any advantage? :)
In Corona Benchmark is still no ranking on those, and in Cinebench they seem to be not performing so well from the rankings.

Thanks to everyone who can give me some help.

Hi Tom,

After some trial and error, I realized that was related to the linked materials in the asset browser.
Therefore if you "save with assets" the scene and go from there, it will export fine to Vantage.

Hope it helps people out there having the same problem.

Hi Jonny,

I had the same problem, and after some trial and error, I realized that was related to the linked materials in the asset browser.
Therefore if you "save with assets" the scene and go from there, it will export fine to Vantage. However, regarding the mapping of the material, it is known that for now is only supported UVW mapping.
Hope it helps people out there having the same problem.

Hi Team,

I am trying to open a project in Vantage but keeps crashing. Probably because of materials I guess? The materials that work don't keep their mappings correct, ie cubic turns uvw etc. I will sit down on the weekend and have a little play n learn. Would be handy if i could be flagged what materials are causing the crashes.

Hi Tom,

It is actually not a crash, it's just when reaches 75% exporting stops the popup window disappears and no file is exported, but the asset and tex folder is created.
Not sure if this is recorded in the crash dump file as nothing crashes, but will try and raise a ticket.
I tried a scene with just a cube and happened the same.
When I open the Vantage trial, everything works great with the sample scenes, so the problem is only in exporting the file out of C4d.

Thanks

Hi there,
I was trying out Vantage and I had the same problem as Grimm... keeps crashing at 75%
I tried complex and super simple scenes, but nothing works.
Also, my graphic card should be quite ok RTX 3070

Could anyone help?

I have to add, that I just opened a scene in 12 RC2 without any Corona bitmap and took 1.05 min to open (with RC1 was not even possible to open).
But... in Corona 11 opens in 2 sec!
I guess the Corona bitmaps, even if slow down the loading are not the only problem...

Hi
here the problem is solved if I convert all Corona bitmaps to C4d bitmaps. Then opens fast.
But this has at least 2 huge problems.
1. Old scenes I can not open them because I need to open the scene in the first place to convert them (Corona 11 doesn't have the shader converter)
2. If I forget to convert a new used material for the C4d bitmaps before closing the scene, when I try to open it next time will be a problem.

As mentioned before by several people, I guess the problem is related to the Corona Bitmap / Asset browser links
hope it helps
