Thank you.  I thought it might be only for 3dsmax people.  And that's the case.  I have c4d.

Thanks again.

[C4D] I need help! / Material Library - C4d

« on: 2019-07-26, 16:52:24 »

So I have this MaterialLibrary file from Corona c4d.  (July 15th download)  Looks like 1.3 gigs.  What directory do I store this in?  How to access from C4d?

Mine is currently stored at:  C:\Program Files\MAXON   Do I need to move it to my CINEMA 4D R20 folder?  It's not a .lib file.

Thanks!  I need to access tons of materials if they are there.

Thanks Houska!  I'm attaching my scene again.  I'm actually getting some better results with your help.  I made the lights smaller and cranked up the power from 50 - to 200.  I added a wheel with concave curves.

Thank you - looking better. ☺  Let me know if you have more suggestions.

This new video by the Corona Team showing CAUSTICS reflective from the Chrome Wheel is great, I need a tutorial or quick explanation to achieve this result.  Please this youtube video at :35 seconds.       

  Thanks for any guidance.  Cinema 4d only.  I do NOT use 3dsmax.  My scene is attached - I'm failing to get the right result.

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / Re: VFB viewer / sluggish laggy

« on: 2018-04-12, 19:15:30 »

Everything I render with Corona is 2 different flavors of HD.  1280x720 or 1920x1080.  All of our machines in the graphics hub have: 2 XEON 2.70 GHz processors E5-2680 with 64 gigs of RAM.  Really never an issue for us on performance... even with After Effects open as well as C4d, plus photoshop.

This is an example of Bloom & Glare.  It works of course, but dialing it in is just tons of guesswork because of the lag in the VFB interface.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Actually I did mention Bloom & Glare... because that is my whole issue.  But anyway, I don't think we are having the same issue...(because yours works).  Mine is turned on before rendering (because it is saved with the scene that way) but it doesn't give you feedback or update visually when you type in a number.  Is there a "recommended checklist" for graphics cards?  Something we might need to turn OFF or ON?

And like I say - we did not have this problem with the corona version prior to B1 (core1.7).

Thanks. ☺

[C4D] Resolved Bugs / VFB viewer / sluggish laggy

« on: 2018-04-11, 17:15:30 »

Ever since upgrading my Corona for C4d to: Version: B1 (core1.7) there have been issues with the VFB viewer not behaving properly.  I'm running C4d R-18 on Windows 10.  When I render one frame in the VFB window then go to the POST settings for bloom and glare... if my BLOOM setting is 5 for example and I want to type in 25 just to see the changes, it doesn't update anymore.  Until I go down to the GLARE setting and type in a number, then BLOOM suddenly updates.  Vice versa too, when GLARE doesn't show me any changes... I can go back to BLOOM and change the number...suddenly GLARE updates and shows me the changes.  It's all happening laggy & sluggish.  ANYONE else seen this?  I have tested this in my office on different computers running R18 and R19 with the same sluggish results.  The bizarre thing is: the other settings update with INSTANT feeback as they should, changing settings like Denoise amount or Tone mapping Vignette, exposure, etc... etc... all updates FAST in the window.

One more thing, after updating to Version: B1 (core1.7)... I noticed that if I recall an older scene from 4 months ago that ALL of the lights in the scene have been set to a default strength of 50.  Even if the older lights were set to a strength of 7 or 24 or whatever... they are now 50.  Weird.

[Max] I need help! / Self Illuminated jpeg - Increase G.I. intensity

« on: 2017-10-10, 00:14:12 »

Hello, Please view my attachment.  In C4d Physical Renderer with GI... I know how to make a jpeg light up a dark room.  HOW do you do this with Corona?  I can't seem to get this result.  I have tried a Corona Light material with a jpeg texture, and even cranked up the Intensity but no luck.  Thanks for any help!  I'm new to Corona and I freaking love it so far.

I can get a similar effect in Corona but if I increase intensity the JPEG gets blown out... (too hot).  Thanks eveyone.
