Whisky Galore – David Turfitt’s work in Cinema 4D

Making-of, , , , , , , , ,

Making high-quality product renders is an art form all of its own, especially when the product in question is itself exclusive and high-quality so that the images have to exude class. We spoke with freelance artist David Turfitt about how he uses Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D to create high-end marketing materials for whisky companies like Beam Suntory.

Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D, Beta 2, Release Candidate 1 Released!

Announcement, , , , , , , , ,

Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D Beta 2 RC 1 released

We are pleased to announce that the Release Candidate 1 for Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D, Beta 2 is out now!

The long-awaited Corona node material system has finally been implemented, but that’s not all – we also managed to implement other interesting features such as the scene converter and hair rendering support (Note: the Corona Hair Material can be used to control the look of the hair, but to use the frizz or curl parameters, the Cinema Hair Material must be used together with the Corona one – this will be improved in the first daily builds after the Beta 2 stable release).

We also did some rewriting of the internals, for example to bring more stability to motion blur, and we removed the flipping of the Y and Z axis to make fixing bugs easier in the future.

Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D, Beta 1, Release Candidate 1 Released!

Announcement, Release, , , , , , ,

Corona Renderer for C4D, Beta 1, Release Candidate 1 released!

We are pleased to announce that Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D, Beta 1, is released!

If you have not been following the development through the Daily Builds, then here’s what you need to know – there have been a huge number of bug fixes, thanks to the extensive testing and feedback from you, and there have been a lot of new features and functionality implemented, such as Interactive Rendering, the Shadow Catcher,  Dispersion, and more!

 

DOWNLOAD

If you want to get straight to the download, you will find the latest version at:

Download Beta 1 RC 1 from the Google Drive

 

WHAT’S NEW

  • Support for C4D R19 added
  • Interactive Rendering is now fully functional
  • The ShadowCatcher material has been added
  • New and improved sampler implemented (part of the 1.7 core)
  • Dispersion and Subsurface Scattering added to the Corona Material:
  • Native stacking of materials now supported
  • Corona Image Editor included in installation
  • Corona Standalone included in installation
  • Partial implementation of LightMix “bake to scene” functionality
  • Resume render now works from the Corona VFB
  • Render selected is now implemented
  • Team Render is much more stable, and should be close to fully-functional (known limitation – best used from the native Picture Viewer, and cannot use Noise Level / Adaptivity yet)

And of course there have been a great many bug fixes too. It all adds up to Beta 1 being a quantum leap ahead of the previous Alpha release!

 

WHAT’S NEXT

Please test the Release Candidate and report any bugs, which will let us ensure that everything is stable and working as intended. You can report bugs to us on our bug tracker or on the forum.

Once thorough testing and fixing of any issues is complete, we will release the final version of Beta 1.

Thanks to all our users for your patience and help with testing the daily builds!

Corona for C4D Alpha 6 Final released!

Release, , , , , ,

Corona for C4D A6 final

We’re pleased to unveil Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D Alpha 6 final! We’d like to thank all of you for testing the release candidates and helping us identify and resolve bugs with both the Windows and Mac versions.

Quick Facts

  • Port to macOS: The port has the same features as the Windows version.
  • Based on Corona 1.6 daily builds: As well as incorporating everything from 1.5 for 3ds Max, the core is based on some of the daily builds released since then.
  • Simpler UI: Making it easier to find and use Corona features.
  • Interactive LightMix: Now working in C4D!
  • Image post processing: The core features such as bloom & glare, LUTs, filmic tone mapping etc have been ported over.

The main purpose of Alpha 6 was the integration of new features from the Corona core, and this meant rewriting a large part of the Cinema 4D version. With such a big rewrite, there were quite a few bugs in the first releases of A6, so it has taken a while for us to reach this final version with those bugs resolved!

Reworking the UI was another major part of this release. We are pleased to say that is complete and there will be only small changes needed between now and the 1.0 release – this means we can start to create help articles and tutorials now that no further major changes are needed to the UI.
