Volume modelling -works how 3d modelling in my minds eye is envisioned. Traditional methods always took me hours as it was juxtaposed to how I was imagining things in my minds eye.

Realtime renderer for C4D, works like a video game engine in it's approach.
- Interesting but do they support ALL C4D features? They list the ones they do feature which makes you think you can't just send any file.CyBrainX
- Does it support any plugins. This would be a pretty big issue. I can't part with my X-Particles.CyBrainX
- Currently, they don't support Mac. My next home computer will be a PC but my current work machine is a Mac Pro.CyBrainX
- How does it perform compared to Google's Zync Render? You get a good budget for the first year. They don't support plugins but they do support Mac.CyBrainX

Does anyone know how to dock something PERMANENTLY in your interface. For example, I type in Shift-C get the Reset PSR button and drag it to the top row of icons and save my new.c4d file in the application folder. It will stay there if I create new files until I quit but it won’t come back when I restart the program.
R19, Mac, High Sierra.

- Perfect. Thanks!CyBrainX

I’m at a Beeple gallery show. This sure isn’t crap. He’a Here too.

Is there any way to use a color shader and a mograph selection to change the color of specific clones? I have done this before but C4D makes this an absolute nightmare every time I try.
- every effector has a selection field that you can drop your mograph selection and just affect itfeel
- Yeah. I tried that and no matter what I do with transform color, min/max and shader color, nothing works. I will have to do more searching.CyBrainX
- I started looking at this one and got it to work. I'm not sure what's different now. This just wasted my afternoon. https://vimeo.com/46…CyBrainX

^ Regarding that first screen capture gif,
When you use an external compositing tag to get a solid when you extract assets from a c4d file in after effects, I don't get keyframes, just one static solid that won't move with the C4D camera view.There's a comment about not needing to bake any objects which threw me off. I thought baking was only for dynamics. I'm not using any dynamics in my scene.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I haven't been able to fix this.
- are you talking about the script/plugin? what gif?where_am_i
- i mean which soz. dont think any using ext comp no?where_am_i
- hey think this may help, it exports psr data so if youre using cloner or something nothing will come thru
http://creativetuts.…where_am_i - Thanks. I'll set up a scene and ae file. I shouldn't have referenced the gif. it was more about external compositing and animated solids, static ones.CyBrainX
- i havent played with it much, i was just stoked to see how quick it was and the dynamics option made so easywhere_am_i

I've used C4D for nearly a decade. Given what Blender is producing, I honestly wonder why we keep giving Maxon money.
- I know what you mean, but I haven't played with Blender for many years; I'd still bet it can't do everything C4D in terms of workflow, integration and support.evilpeacock
- Support maybe, no experience with blender's. But have you seen what cycles is producing? Excellent realism... liquid simulation, it's all very impressive.imbecile

- They have an open beta for a new version - never tried it though, the need doesn't crop up in my line of work.face_melter

Here's a pet peeve I've had for years.
Is there a way to prevent the Top, Right, Front view panels from switching to a Camera view? I do this by mistake once an hour. I want to C4D to save me from myself.
We should be happy, not sad.

Had someone pull out of a project due to time (album artwork and video that was very close to finished). Luckily he's happy to pass over the files.
Any one know where I could find freelance C4D artists to take over?
- you could try

It's been a while since I've used the External Compositing Tag and I can't get anything out of it at all. All I want is default position information for clone elements. I went beyond that to create a test file with one cube that has an external compositing tag. When I extract in After Effects, all I get is the camera. Am I missing a step?
I'm using R17.
- > You have to put a null as a child of the object you want to track in Cinema 4D. But that only tracks your main clone object as if the cloner were disabled.CyBrainX
- I looked at this tutorial but I don't think aec files work anymore. And this doesn't work with CIneware. https://vimeo.com/83…CyBrainX
- you have to import the c4d file into after effects, throw it on a new comp and then click extract from the cneware plugin, it will extract any camera, light..feel
- ... or external comp tags you have, and it won't work on a cloner, unless you break it into multiple objectsfeel
- Yeah, I'm not getting the info from the cloner. I'm going to have to do what I want in C4D. It's amazing they haven't worked this out yet.CyBrainX

X-Particles works with the hair texture. Learning curve is a few hours.

RedShift for C4D is imminently around the corner, and apparently you can get on the beta.
It's claiming to be the more professional, stable GPU renderer of choice as compared to Octane. A couple buddies who've tried it agree.

Or this one perhaps...
