      Hello, I'm having an issue with a texture map becoming scrambled when I rotate the cloned tiles to the opposite side. I have tried the Alternate-X setting but it does not help. I'm not sure if this is a Redshift issue but I did try physical render and had the same problem. I also messed around with the Redshift projection node and projection object, but it didn't work either.

      I have the latest versions of C4D and Redshift. I have uploaded a few images. I tried to upload the file but kept getting an error message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you.

        Hi devoted,

        This seems to be a problem currently.

        Please have a look here:
        https://cineversity.forums.maxon.net/topic/1056/stick-textures-on-cloner-object-is-broken-on-2024/6

        If I could get your file, I might find a workaround for the time being. I will add textures to just the C4D file (< 1MB).

        Cheers

          I would like to send you the file. The folder is on One Drive https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhWCI_jknLVUg7pcz9bA9yAjN3W6oA?e=PZuwAe

          Thank you!

            Hi Devoted,

            Thanks for the file. Yes, One Drive is fine. We also have to use "MS" here, which is not my favorite, but it is safe.

            Here is the project file back, set up as a workaround. I hope the MoGraph Cloner option is fixed ASAP; I sent the report a while ago. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

            I had to double the PolyFX setup to get both sides, as the Extrude will not take the Front/Back settings of the material.

            I have two UV tags. The one for the text image is manually set up. Column by column, I selected the vertical stripe and
            (UV commands) Transform> U = -1.
            In this way, I have "baked it into the UV.

            Since you had a MoGraph Cache, I baked the animation into Alembic, just in case that is needed.

            Cheers

              Wow that really works great, I hope you didn't have to spend too much time on it. I will try to reverse engineer and see exactly what you did but once again amazing. Can't thank you enough you are what makes the Maxon forum so great! Thank you again, you really saved me.

                Hi Devoted,

                Thank you very much for the kind reply!

                If I get feedback like that, no time was too long to get there.
                I wasted only time changing the wrong UV tag at one point. 😉

                Since I often get things that are not in the manual, I set it up again and stress-test it a little bit more.
                Below is my exploration to get the "Frame" of the Boxes with a different color while keeping the rotation axis centered.

                My best wishes for your project
