Thanks for your time, as always. You're a lifesaver. On a side note, I always tell my Blender friends that one of the main reasons I love C4D is that we have your expertise to fall back on. As limited as I use it, it's priceless when needed.

So, I wasted over 2 hours of R&D to find out I just needed to move the spline layer order up! Live and learn, LOL.
It's near midnight in NY. So, I'll check your file in the AM.
Thanks again!

...and thank you!

Wow...who would have thought...yes, if I used my cached spline, it now seems to work. Which is great. Just out of curiosity, why is my Alembic not doing a 100% match?

Thanks for the version heads up. We are mid-project, for the past few months...so we don't change until we are complete. Just saves headaches

So, I seem to have figured part of it out, but it comes with a trade-off. I can use cubic and put the points up to 40; it's much more accurate. But now it's very saggy. I reduced the target length down to 20% and it's still way too loose.
B-Spline with a reduced point count gave me the best look. But I have the wrap issue. Any way I can get that to read?

I have enabled sharing...sorry about that!

I think I see the issue. Is it that Spline Wrap does not respect additional interpolated curves? I did a test file, and if I subdivided the spline, it seems to work. I'd love to use the spline I had before if it can read the interpolated curves.

I've always used spline wrap without issues, but for some reason, this time I'm experiencing some odd problems. It "sort of" follows, but not really.

I've attached the scene here: https://app.box.com/s/dg1ky9ssmeeg5h2bjwjgq0600errwh6u

You'll see I have a cached spline, which is the one I want to flow. It didn't flow 100%. I also tried a baked Alembic, which, oddly enough, mimics the error of the spline wrap. I'm pretty stumped on this one. What did I do wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

I am working on a project for an eyewear company, and the glasses are translucent in different colors. Because there are many complex scenes in the motion graphics with them, I am using RS proxies in case I need to update the model.
Some scenes are using a cloner and there is scaling to the glasses. Due to the transmission depth, when the glasses are very small, they lose all color and become almost clear due to the original transmission depth, being matched to the new scaled size. Is there a way to override, or "lock in" the master size "transmission depth" and still be able to scale the glasses down? Meaning, keeping the color from the original RS proxy size?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for checking in. I spoke with tech support, and it seems Cinema comes with 5 Team render nodes. However, you need a full RS license to utilize Team Render with a Redshift scene, which is frustrating. I thought RS was now native, plus they are both sold from the same company in the same bundle.
It is what it is. It's just a way to make extra money, I suppose

Thanks again for your input. It's appreciated, as always.

Hopping in here, the poster works with me.
Here is the issue: We have 3 Maxon One license, with four computers. We logged into the 4th computer and set up Maxon One with our user name. Then we signed out and set that computer as only a team render system. Everything is seen and works correctly. However, it is showing a Redshift error. as it's not licensed. But this is only a team Redner client.
To summarize, the computer works as a team Redner node (not signed in on) as far as Cinema is concerned but cannot use Redshift. So the question is, why does it allow Cinema to be a team render node, not signed in, but not redshift? I thought RS was native to Cinema now?
