Quixel Bridge Importer for Corona Renderer (C4D)

A custom version of the Quixel Bridge plugin that adds Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D support, enabling one-click import with full support for materials and 3d models from the Megascans library.

The plugin works as it would if it was official, meaning it provides the same seamless integration between Bridge and Cinema 4D as with other render engines, and even adds a few extra settings for control freaks and nerds.

Features

• supports surfaces, 3d assets, and decals
• support for many channels of the Corona Physical Material
  • Albedo + AO
  • Roughness and Glossiness
  • Specular
  • Normal Map
  • Bump
  • Normal + Bump combo
  • Displacement
  • Opacity
  • Fuzziness
  • Translucency
  • Transmission
• displacement scale extracted from metadata for surfaces and decals
• experimental calculation method for 3d assets' displacement scale
• decals loaded as Corona Decals with proper dimensions and set up to nicely blend into the scene
• original settings fixed
• extra Corona-specific parameters
  • optional Displacement Tag creation on imported 3d objects, as with other render engines
  • use Corona Bitmaps and shaders instead of native Cinema 4D Bitmap for better memory management and texture filtering
  • finer control over displacement activation by asset type
