Hi, at the moment the option is Environment map HDRI and CentiLeo light source with directional type which can produce a sun. As for general procedural sun/sky system I have to add it and will do it soon.

I mean I should do it in the future, it's an easy feature

We plan to improve the manual page about the shaders and also make the video tutorials about the features, shadesr and tricks, but this takes the time.
At the moment the current manual is published here
https://centileo.com/docs/index.php?COURSE_ID=3&CHAPTER_ID=069&LESSON_PATH=17.69

Well, the displacement mapping slot in Output node accepts only texture nodes, so they should be combined. If you want to combine with some texture nodes from the other material then you can create the asset based on making the group or asset using your other material node.

Caustics will be added later during one of commercial updates, not for current beta stage

Do you mean the parallel and not perspective projection? It's not implemented, it can be done, it's easy.

No, CentiLeo at the moment uses own displacement mapping that is connected to Output node in node editor, see the manual page about this
https://centileo.com/docs/index.php?COURSE_ID=3&LESSON_ID=61&LESSON_PATH=17.69.61

You can add CentiLeo environment tag to Sky object, see the manual here
https://centileo.com/docs/index.php?COURSE_ID=3&LESSON_ID=64&LESSON_PATH=17.64

And here you can find an example scene with few lighting and material setups

Hi! If you see the download page there is the note there:

If CentiLeo doesn't show after installation
Update Cinema 4D build accordingly: 2023.0.0 S26.000+ R25.010+ S24.035+ R23.110+ S22.016+ R21.115+ and R20.059 builds.
Make sure supported up to date GPU drivers are installed at least from late 2021: check here

So, it means the Cinema 4D R20 should be updated to R20.059.
Also update the GPU driver

Oh do you want to navigate in IPR same way as in standard modeling viewport? I have seen this is possible when rendered image is placed onto viewport itseft with all that manipulation gizmos and so on. It can be done in some future.

Hi exel, do you want to make dockable IPR window same as other C4D interface panels?

thank you very much for kind words! I think we also need few more post processing effects and more AOV passes that are expected soon

Thanks a lot for this! I think I should take some Chinese courses

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Please, can you send me a minimum scene file that reproduces this? So I can fix it soon. I still can't reproduce with my quick tests.

Hi ddff and welcome to our forum! The new version will be released in around 1 month. There will be bloom, LUTs and a lot of bugfixes and minor improvements.
If that's possible I would recommend to use auto-translation of Chinese->English before posting messages so they could be found easier with the search.

Hi exel and thanks for good words and asking questions. The video bitmaps are not yet supported, but we will do it, it's not so complex, but we need to compress them somehow for texture caches that are very usefull too.

I think we need to write an installer to prevent from thinks like that. And this will help to reduce the download size of the product

Oh that's good and thanks for finding! What was the version btw?

Hi exel and welcome here!
What's your Cinema version and Cinema build number? What's the hardware? What objects are there in the scene?
Help me find the bug please, as it doesn't happen on my setup. Maybe can you share it with me to info@centileo.com?

Hi, so you are making some material with Transmission/Refraction and setup Absorption and Distance. I think it doesn't work when the camera is inside this volume, you are right! This should be fixed
