Since v11, the C4D documentation claims that no extra render options (like the Color Correction item) and no texture corrections are necessary to use Linear Workflow. According to the docs, all of this is done automatically (and internally) by C4D when you enable the LWF button.

I bring this up because I believe the C4D sIBL loader is still adding a Color Correction item with 2.2 gamma correction to the renderer, which if I'm reading things correctly will result in incorrect, overly bright renders.

Thanks for creating this, by the way! It works awesome and is very well designed.

Apologies for the delay in answering, I've been unable to do much coding for a few weeks due to illness.

I'm about to recompile the loader for C4D R13 and R14. There have been a lot of changes since the last version - for example, color management and LWF are much improved, the new physical renderer has become available, and so on - that it really needs a new version. Using the loader with Vray also needs some changes.

Bear with me for a little longer and this will be available. The issues you raise with regard to LWF will be sorted out (though the Maxon docs are incorrect by the way - in R12 LWF and color management was working incorrectly, but in R13 this seems to have been fixed).

The earlier version for R12 and earlier will remain available of course, but I won't be rebuilding the plugin for those releases of C4D.

I've added Lightsmith implementation to the new version, here's a render using Vray for C4D, with the out of the box settings (except intensity turned up a little). Should be available in a few days.

Please make sure you have set up the file structure correctly. A common mistake people make is to unzip all the sIBL sets so that all the files are placed into one large folder. This won't work: each individual set MUST be in its own folder. Those set folders are in turn sub-folders of a parent folder, and that is your collection folder.

It sounds more complicated than it really is. The process is explained in detail in the manual.

If you can't get the current version from here, you can get it direct from my site at http://www.microbion.co.uk/graphics/c4d/sIBLLoader.htm

I've been so busy working on other things that I just haven't had the chance to release the update. I'll try to do that ASAP, thanks for the reminder.

I've been incredibly busy doing other things and just haven't had the time to do anything more with the loader. But it's complete as far as I can see, so I'm going to release it anyway under the GPL so that other people can tweak it if necessary.

The PC builds are done - just have to do the Mac ones and then it's ready. If there are no unexpected problems on the mac, should be within 24 hours.
