CINEVERSITY

Hi Blake,

I am not on my computer as I am visiting the Maxon Summit this week. So I have to do what I think is not the best way to do it—guessing. Sorry about that.

Having a whole scene (or a larger group) in a Boole might not work when one part is not ready for this.

Take the most complete object and test if a cube can Boole it. Perhaps with the group either under a Connect Object or Booled first, or even merge all first. Those three might hold one option to explore further.

Please note that Multi Instance might be source of trouble here, if the Cloner is set to this.

Edit: back in California, here is an example
CV4_2025_drs_25_ANsb_01.c4d

OR load the file …_11.c4d as Xref into …_21.c4d
CV4_2025_drs_25_ANsb_11.c4d
CV4_2025_drs_25_ANsb_21.c4d

My best wishes

Thanks for the reply, entry newspaper.

My best wishes for your project.

Please note that we have a company-wide Summit over the next nine days, starting tomorrow, so I will be less likely to be online.

My best wishes for your project

Hi Olivier,

Please share a c4d file, below 1MB can be attached here. Images do not tell me a lot.

What is a Sweep Collider?

If the file is bigger, please only (!) Dropbox, Wetransfer, Google, Apple or Adobe Clouservices. Please upload the file not compressed (zip/rar, etc) and paste the full URL here, no tiny URL, no HTML wrapper. Thank you!

Cheers

All the best

Thank you very much for your nice reply, quiet-refuse.

My best wishes for your project!

Hi Mike,

Hi entry newspaper,

If you want to see what is used for the Surface Emitter, switch on the option in the Draw tab.
Example
CV4_2025_drs_25_PArs_01.c4d
or here

When I overlay the particle flow as it comes from the emitter with a cached version turned into an Alembic (while the Alembic is one frame ahead, so I offset it, as I settled the streams in P.Y to show where they are, see image. it is the same.

I can't reproduce your findings. Please check with tech support

Have a great weekend.

Hi there,

Remember that OCIO is a framework that is supposed to be installed centrally or in synch with the workflow provided, and OCIO is updated occasionally. This means OCIO, old or newer, is perhaps not the same as the installed one! It can't find the one defined in the file if a different version was used than the installed one.

Please always check the outcome. Typically, the use of ACES causes trouble if the RRT/ODT function is not understood for low dynamic/gamut outputs like REEC 709 or sRGB, which will show up especially with artifacts in 8bit/channel. Typically, the use is connected to wishful thinking about the filmic outcome, which changes if used for higher dynamic and larger Gamuts. Tone mapping or gamut compression is unnecessary, and the "filmic" effect [sic] is gone.

Setting the OCIO to your installation might not create the outcome envisioned by the external creator of the file.

Please check with support if you have a problem with a file created in your unchanged setup.

Cheers

P.S.: I had prepared a list of ten cases where this error could occur.

The short answer is: If you have this kind of error message, open a tech support ticket. There is no shortcut. Sorry!

You're very welcome, table-state.

I'm glad you like it.

Thanks for the kind words.

Cheers

You're very welcome, Dutchbird.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers

Thank you very much, Loren, for the reply.

I'm glad it works for your project.

Cheers

P.S.: I checked the ticket number; as S. mentioned, the ticket was closed while forwarded to the development team. As stated, closing doesn't mean solving.

More was not possible for the tech support to do.

Here is a workaround:
