Chaos AI Enhancer and Cloud Rendering?

Corona Corona for Cinema 4D General
1

I like to think I’m on top of the updates but I seems to have missed the memo about the latest updates. In the render window I have an greyed out AI Enhancer button. Searching in the Help files suggests its only available…
Keep in mind that for a render to be recognized as available for enhancement, it also needs to be uploaded not for rendering in Chaos Cloud, but for enhancement (usually through the Enhance Image button EnhanceImage_Cloud.jpg in the 3D software you are using).
So I then searched for how to send a file to the Chaos Cloud but only see instructions for Vray.
Anyone have any insights?
I explored an option but clicking on the confusingly named ‘Collaboration’ button which uploaded to Chaos Cloud (?) Not quite sure what the point of that was. It doesn’t unlock the AI Enhancer.
Still confused.

Hi, you need to add the dedicated pass first.

This tutorial explains it really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOHP00kuHk

Thanks! I haven’t seen this documented anywhere! And somehow the YT video was never served to me despite subbing to the channel.
Added the AI multipage… uploaded it to the Chaos Cloud… waited for far longer than it would’ve taken to render it locally and ohmygawd it really wasn’t worth any of that effort. But now I know.

It is documented here: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/36244594382353
And here: Corona VFB 2.0

Regarding this part:

Thank you, we are always interested in feedback about the AI Enhancer. If you’d like, and you have the time, feel free to contact us about it at https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
We are also planning some improvements to the Enhancer in the near future, so that it would produce better results.

As an aside, I have heard similar things about the YT algorithm over the last 3 months or so, that it changed so that it doesn’t serve things even if you are subscribed (lots of YT creators complaining about how their view counts went down). I guess it’s back to the old fashioned way of revisiting a favorite channel manually every so often to see what’s new :open_mouth:

Oh I forgot to say, there should also be a button after enhancing an image that will let you send the feedback direct to the AI / ML team (bottom right somewhere I think), tagged to that image so they can see the image in relation to the points you make - can do that as well as or instead of the support ticket, either is fine :smiley:
