[C4D] Bug Reporting / Teamrender not rendering materials

« on: 2025-05-19, 14:22:40 »

Is there a way to get Teamrender to work with .TX maps?
Lots of assets downloaded from cosmos uses the extension but it renders blank in teamrender

Can you share how you are using Team Render - e.g. is this an animation where each machine is rendering its own frame, or is this for a batch of unrelated images, or is it to have all machines working on one image at once?

One thought on a workaround for now is to not render the masks during Team Render, and then use "Render only masks" to render on one machine (https://docs.chaos.com/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=85039562). Because this does not do any of the lighting calculations etc. that lead to the Beauty pass, the mask rendering is very fast, so it should be fine to do it on just one machine.

Hi Tom
I do split one image on a few machines to calculate 1 still frame.
At the moment I am rendering the masks on my pc afterwards as you suggested, thanks

Is it possible to get the teamrender machines to render masks the same as the host?
It is same color in mat ID for instance, but a different shade making selecting them in post impossible

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Cosmos materials not rendering in teamrender

Seems like materials downloaded from cosmos will not render with teamrender if the maps have .tx extensions

Yeah, that is what bothers me.
I open a new scene, just add a cube...nothing else. then I get this on team render

I have tried to connect with wi-fi and cable, I have turned firewalls off.

I have new mac pro m3, 32G RAM
PC's, I tried 2x different Ryzen 6, 64g RAM

I havent used Team render in for ever... What does this error mean?

I have tried it with a new scene, just a single cube... no materials nothing.

Hello, i've been using corona with cinema 4d for asome time, i think i evolved nicely but i still can't get render to look beautifull. They look ok but i feel i am missing a lighting setting. Are any interior designers willing to send some feedback?

Have a look at sites that sell cheap models, like 3dsky.org
They have good affordable models.
As for the lighting, there is no focus. Don't be afraid to start darker and have accent light rather than having everything very light or evenly lit. Rather have a slightly darker scene and exaggerate the light sources. Like the table lamp and wall lights, I know they are on but I cannot see any effect.
Also, play with the light temperature, ie have a cool/ whiter ambient light with a warmer light from the wall scone and/ or table lamp.
Your textures all look the same. I cannot differentiate between fabric and timber/ leather/ walls....appart from the colours.
especially the bedding looks like plastic. some bump creases would go a long way :)
And then the smoothing they have mentioned above

[C4D] Daily Builds / Re: Render performance problem ... ( Threadripper 3970x )

Sorry to hack this thread.... Is this something In windows or the PC?
I have 2x of the same machines, one at home and one at the office.
I notice the one at home render 100% utilization, the one at office I get almost 40% but the speed of cpu is also SUPER low......

I dont think I have rendered the same scens though... I will test this scene at home tonight but this is SUPER SLOW.
