Thanks for report and a scene, I will look there asap

The last Forester update is September 2023 https://www.3dquakers.com/#section-news
But it's probably update for the new Cinema.
As for Chaos Scatter we should access their SDK and contact Chaos, and see whether they have intention to share.

However, we also plan to have some own similar Scatter in the future, and some other procedural objects and libraries.

Thank you for wishes! Happy holidays to you too!

Btw the issue in the topic start was fixed. But the one with .EXR reader in 2023/2024 Cinema is not because it's Maxon bug I will probably use a different library for texture reading or consult with them

Hi! I have postponed the material converter during 0.68 due to some complex things. But I will add a material converter for several engines at 0.70 release

Hi and very big thanks for report and a scene file! Is you HDRI texture a HDR or EXR file? Cinema 2023 or 2024?
I have found Cinema 23 and 24 crashes itself when we add a bitmap with EXR. It's not the case with older Cinema. And it's a bug in Cinema code as I currently figured out. But will also look into your scene, thanks for this!

Thank you for bugrep, I have fixed this already and the bugfix will be released together with the upcomng release, still need to wait some time

Hi Junky! And welcome here! Thanks for bugrep! I have fixed this bug already just few days ago. And I will upload the update once I finish preparing 0.68 release with new features. It's expected within 2 weeks.

That's the key. The issue is with Nvidia OptiX denoiser that we use. There was no any problem before driver update (I used some 1 year old driver). But the issue appeared with fresh drivers. On the software side it was possible to fix the issue and it no longer appears on the future CentiLeo.

For now you may even turn Denoiser value to zero and the glitch will dissappear.
In my case it was enough to restart Cinema to get back for correct behavior. And also don't open-close the Interactive Preview window, just keep it always opened.

I will upload the fix together with other new features very soon.

Best regards,
Kirill

I see, you wanted to distinguish the individual elements of the Voronoi Fracture. At the moment the Random node assigns just random numbers per object or per mesh element (disconnected from other mesh elements), these random numbers don't follow any rules, but are separately generated randoms. Only the attribute nodes like MoGraph Node or Vertex Map/Color nodes can help here

They will be available since 0.69. It's quite soon, however I also want to compress the texture caches for this.
0.68 with native hair and splines is approaching btw

Hi Walter, what if you map the Noise Node with Voronoi settings to the Alpha channel of Material?

Then I need a scene with ForestPack to try to investigate your error. A lot of things were fixed, but probably something was missing.
info@centileo.com my email or PM here

Forest Pack is supported btw from 0.67 so do the RailClone.
As for TyFlow then the TriMesh is the must have option as far as I remember but I need to see. Can you please send me a minimum setup from a problematic scene?

CentiLeo proxy is probably broken and needs some fix, but I think that Corona or Fstorm proxy does work as needed inside CentiLeo

Hi KBB! Right now I am optimizing the hair & spline rendering and storage size, it's going to be great! They will be supported in the next 0.68 release.
However, VDB will appear after the first commercial release

Hi Cosi and welcome here! Sure this would be a useful feature, I will do it later after 0.70 release. It's very important!

Hi Hao! It's pretty simple to do if we exploit the procedural UVW mapping, see example and scene here


Basically, you can create the Flat projection in Maerial tag (formelly it was called Texture Tag). You may adjust the UVW gizmo in texture cinema 4d layout. In our case I have stretched the gizmo of material tag by 200cm to align with cylinder borders. Then we make a UVW Projection node, it can take this assignment projection in default mode (called texture tag). Otherwise you can rebuild other individual projecton within the node using XYZ, cubic or flat, etc. Using the Shuffle node we move the G channel of UVWProjection to the R position because Gradient Ramp.InputMap understands only R channel. Then we make the gradient color layout based on the input texture values. The scene example is attached

Thanks! As for resource collector I will see how it can be done more convenient

I will check it for the new upcoming release, hope it will be ok

Thank you for feedback and pinging these or that features
