  • RE: question on formula id

    Thank you, Hoi, 🙂

    Yes, extra Effectors work as well, but if you need more, and perhaps add Fields, then it gets quite complex.

    Another option would be

    (id=0) or (id=3)

    (id=0) || (id=3)

    Perhaps easier, the one I initially mentioned is my favorite, as it has the option to define any value, not just 1, meaning 100% effector use of the values, and that for each "id" then.

    All the best

  • RE: question on formula id

    Hi Hoi,

    try this:

    ?(id=0;1;(?(id=3;1;0)))

    If id is 0 then use one, otherwise, if id is 3, then use one, if not it is zero.

    And wouldn't help, as it would require 0 and 3 to be evaluated at the same time.

    I hope that helps

    Cheers

  • RE: HAIR, edge error, not rendering

    Hi glas-force,

    Would it be possible to use "Edge to Spline" and run it from there?

    Example

  • HAIR, edge error, not rendering

    Hi glass-force,

    I moved your post into a new thread. If the solution that worked for the one in the thread, and not in your case, it might be a different problem now.

    Thanks for sharing the problem, I will explore this.

    Cheers

  • RE: How to change icon colour permanently?

    Hi Zusana,

    That was my first impression as well. My argument against icon change in that way is clearly that all tutorials suffer from what was done before. While the "shape" change will stay, I see no argumet against it being red.

    … and yes, the red version was an easy-to-spot option for such a central tag.

    Please check with tech-support, as the old PSD file option is now buried in a zip file, to my knowledge, and I haven't tested it at all with 2026, what side effects a change will have. That is tech support's strength.

    https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

    With the same URL, you can also express the need to have it back in red using the "Share your Ideas".

    You have my support, but it needs some input from your side as well to get it back.

    Thank you so much for your input and time!

    Cheers

  • RE: drive fur color with a texture

    Hi Bart,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I can't confirm this limitation. I explored it with the current version, avoiding so to answer from memory.

    Please have a look here:

    .

    Some processes don't like changing point amounts, so I checked this as well with v2026, just in case.

    This works for me here.

    Perhaps your setup is different. I'm happy to take a look at it. Please use only Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google, Apple, or Adobe cloud services. Upload the non-compressed file and paste the URL here without an HTML wrapper. Sorry for the long text; it is all about security.

    All the best

  • RE: Texturing alembic file

    Hi Jan Sidwick,

    Sorry, I do not have a license anymore from Insydium, and no stored Taiao example.

    As in the image, is that tag there, and do you get the UV information in the UV editor?
    Screenshot 2025-11-08 at 3.12.53 PM.jpg

    If so, add an empty texture in the resolution you need to the object.
    You might need to go to the paint layout first, and on the material, click on the red X to load the texture.
    Go to the UV editor

    With the Active Object and UV tag, use the Layer> Create UV Mesh Layer
    https://help.maxon.net/c4d/2026/en-us/Default.htm#html/32150.html#PLUGIN_CMD_170723
    This needs to be saved, and when opened in e.g., Photoshop, you know where to place the specific textures or colors.

    Let me know if there is any obstacle.

    All the best
