Well, I'm back on my shit. Been buried for the last few months, but testing out Redshift 3.0.56 with Cinema 4d R25. Getting a lot of hangs and force quit errors. Gonna try to update video drivers and see if that helps. Still using 23 for client work.
Certainly not trying to be dismissive of anyones thoughts or feelings. I too have my whole career and living wrapped up in Cinema, as well as Vectorworks - made by the same company and releasing new versions of both softwares in the same week this year. I am passionate about the future of Cinema4d and sure, there are things I'd like to change and things I'd like to see different. Am I thrilled about the Maxon App - not really. Do I like the concept of subscriptions - not really.
I give constructive feedback on the user experience when I can, I submit problematic files, and have dialogue with tech support. But I'm not speculating on the inner workings of the company or their intensions based on remarks from a company guy, trying to talk to the community, over the internet. Be pissed and speak your mind - I'm all for it: Just don't do it with tin foil on your head.
Dave - please, take a deep breath. It's going to be okay, dude.
I don't want to speak for Rick, but I believe he is just saying because of the pandemic, it's been harder to meet face to face with end users at shows and events. Zoom and message boards aren't the same as personal interactions - especially when you're dealing with artists and designers. No deep conspiracies.
It's just software. Every time a new release comes out you go bananas on here. I worry for your health. Of course, everyone is entitled to an option - I'm not trying to change your mind. I just respectfully ask you to take a breath and focus on what the software is designed to do - create.
The toon stuff is so liberating. I spend most of my day inside of CAD being precise and then trying to be photo real in Cinema. This is a pleasant change.
Hi Logimite,
Which version of Corona are you using? I got it to load over here (I had to relink the HDRI from my hard drive, but I have that same HDRI from HDRI Haven) and it worked. Something is making your scene run super slow over here though, not sure what's going on.
In newer versions of Corona, the preferred method of HDRI is to add a Corona Sky object - in the attributes for the Sky, change the TYPE to HDRI and load in your file there. See attached. Adding a material in the illumination channel is the old way of doing things. Try that and see if it helps.
Thanks, but I don't want any money for info. I have learned so much from this site and so many people have helped me here (you, Cerbera, Das Frodo, Vector, King Coma, Voz, etc) - I'm just happy to give back to the community any information I can.
