[C4D] I need help! / Re: Bloom/Glare and animations on C4D

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply.

Ok, today I opened the project, switched off and on again bloom and glare in the render settings and in Corona Camera and then tried to render a single frame. Now b&g work in both corona VFB and PV. I am currently re-rendering the animation and it looks like it's working. The problem I had was that b&g wouldn't show up in the frames inside the PV, only in VFB.

For B&G to appear in PV for an animation sequence, it has to be set before you begin rendering (you can adjust B&G in the VFB and the current frame in the PV will update, but any previous frames in the PV will not, the B&G is baked in to those).

So basically the correct workflow would be:

- render a single frame to the VFB
- choose the preferred values for every postprocess option, knowing that it won't be possible to change them later
- then render all the frames with the "baked" post inside the PV
- export PNGs

I have some questions: what is with the Corona drop-down menu inside the PV next to "animation"? It has a "Post-process" option but if I open it everything is greyed out.

Does the Corona VFB always show the last image rendered, or there's a way to "transfer" one render from the PV history to the VFB?

Thanks again.

[C4D] I need help! / Bloom/Glare and animations on C4D

I'm starting to work with animations, so pardon me if this is a noob question:

I understand the best and safest workflow is to render each frame as PNG and then compose the video in editing, but there's something that i'm missing.

When I render, I can see in C4D picture viewer all the individual frames and export them unprocessed, but I have no idea how to apply Corona bloom and glare and export the PNGs already postprocessed. Bloom and glare are enabled in render settings but if I open Corona VFB I can't put a tick on the option, only tonemapping and denoise seem to work.

What am I doing wrong? Should I use the CoronaBatch script I've read about?
