[C4D] Bug Reporting / Re: Why is there more contrast between 2 renders

« on: 2020-04-22, 20:37:07 »

Hello Maru,

I already thought that this would be a strange video ;-). Sorry but I didn't know how to do it else. In the video you see a part of the VFB window. The only thing I do is pressing render at the beginning of the video. Then I only wait for the new render to start and do nothing. And between 0.23 and 0.26 sec the brightness/ contrast of the old render changes by itself before the new render appears. At the end of the video I switch to Quicktime to stop the video but that has noting to do with the render issue.
Hope this explains the video.

Thanks Maru and Designerman77 for replying!

@Designerman77 lowering the HDR gamma doesn't give the same effect. The main reason I am asking this in the first place is because I want to know if something is wrong with my settings in general. And in second place what it is what happens in between renders.

@Maru I recorded a screenshot video like you asked. Hope this explains what I mean. I attached it, if it will upload. You can see what I mean between 0.23 and 0.26 sec. Cinema4d is version R21.207 for Mac. Corona is version 5.0

Hello HVB,

Thanks for your reply! The first picture(the lighter one is with tone mapping) and when I turn of tone mapping the picture becomes more over lighted. And I also tried to achieve the more contrast affect like in the darker picture(the in between 2 renders screenshot) with tone mapping but I am not getting the exact same result. So that's why I am curious what is happening in between renders, just to learn from so that I can boost my images a bit further.

[C4D] Bug Reporting / Why is there more contrast between 2 renders

« on: 2020-04-21, 12:30:19 »

Hello, Hope someone can help me or explain what is happening. I use Corona for Cinema4d and often I am trying to get more contrast and color depth in my renders. Renders and colours are sometimes too washed out and hdri skies have not the contrast I wanted them to have. So I am always trying to push the envelope but not always with satisfaction. But then I noticed that when I have rendered an Image in the Corona-VFB and I press render again that the rendered image gets for about 2 seconds much darker and with much more contrast especially in the sky and also colours are more intense(see attached images). This gives me the feeling that meaby there is something wrong with my settings? Or is this normal?And if so can someone tell me what is happening and how I can achieve this in my renders?

Thanks in advance,

P.S. In the attached images I used a corona sky with hdri and a little bit extra sun light.
