Hi! I have a question about the terazzo material - was it achieved using bitmap textures, or procedurally? It looks great and I'm wondering what's the best way to achieve it.

[@ChaosCorona]

Hi! Best bet is to ask over on the forums, where users (and support) will be able to share advice on material setups (forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php). Thanks! Tom

[@nejckilar9725]

Sorry for the late reply! I used a texture :) Want me to look up where you can buy it?

[@brunobordini7696]

Nice! Can you save this to the content browser?

[@ChaosCorona]

As far as I know you can save any set up to the native C4D content browser - if it doesn't work, please post over on the forums for devs to take a look into it! Thanks! Tom

@@ChaosCorona Thanks, Tom! I had some problems with Maxtree free assets! When I drag and drop a tree into the library , it does not save those Corona materials! When I try to put an maxtree object into the scene it comes only with the mesh and no materials and shaders. I have tried to save the file with assets and it comes the same way...and then I need to relink all the textures again! I will put this in the Forum! Tnx!

@@brunobordini7696 TY for posting over on the forum, that's the place you should be able to get your answers! Either from us and our support team, or even from the community if they get there first (they are super helpful!). Thanks! Tom

corona version ?

Corona 5, the most recent. Thanks! Tom

There is lots of noise in project...how can we solve it please help

[@ChaosCorona]

Hi! UA-cam comments are not a good place for receiving help, as you can't share example renders, screen grabs of scene set ups, etc. See help.c4d.corona-renderer.com/support/solutions/articles/12000033461-how-to-report-issues-c4d for the various options, such as posting on the forum, opening a support ticket, etc., which also includes information on the details we'd need (as noise can be caused by different things, so without seeing an example render at very least, we couldn't begin to comment).
You can also check our tutorials and helpdesk pages regarding sources of noise e.g. coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501983-how-to-get-rid-of-excessive-noise-
Hope this helps! Tom
