[C4D] General Discussion / Is this a bug?

« on: 2020-02-24, 16:39:28 »

I can't seem to copy/paste materials from one scene to another. I have to apply the materials to an object and then copy that object to the scene I wanting to use. Curious as if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong? Or maybe you just can't copy/paste corona materials?

Thanks,

Thanks for the further insight. My issue was not being able to see the beam without a volumetric material applied. I have been using the cone trick to achieve the beam look I want. I have found it is faster to just make big cube with a volumetric material applied to it and place all spotlights in that but my overhead light will light up the cube. Is there away to to exclude certain lights on the volume material?

Thanks for your tip! @c4d019. That thought totally slipped my mind and will help speed up the process to help with deadlines. The scene just gets so heavy on RAM with all that volume and spotlights that is hard to maneuver or notice fast changes in the VFB.

You can't see the spotlight unless a Volumetric material is applied to it right? The native spotlights have the option to automatically add volume. It would not render in Corona unless I had the volumetric material applied. Is this correct? Or am I missing a step?

Thanks for the insight! Glad to know I am doing it correctly. Just feels like too much work to be honest. I can't see the light when I set directionality. Would be nice to see Corona introduce a spotlight like the native c4d one.

I am having to design stages and need to include spotlights in my scenes. I'm wanting to know if there is an easier way to achieve what I am trying to accomplish. The only way I know how to make a spotlight with a light beam is by making a cone, applying a volume material to it, and attaching a light to it. It makes my preview scenes awfully dark and hurts my render times.
