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?

I have an object that we want to clone roses on. We want to use several-size model roses; if we use push-apart, we get an even spacing of objects. But what if I want to have it respect the multiple rose sizes? I know you can use Blue Noise, but that seems to only be used on one object. Is there a way to set the parameter for each rose model in the cloner? Is there another option? To make matters more complex, we are having these roses "grow" on by scale (not actually blooming). So, they would start smaller and grow to 100% scale.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, my friend. I could have sworn I tried these fixes. As always, you are appreciated.

Using a sweep works fine when I use two preset spline shapes. But when I create my own shape to sweep, it doesn't align with the spline, and there seems to be no option to align. Attached is the file.sweep test errors.c4d

I have a character that I would like to point cache. The main body works fine with point cache, but the teeth are parented to a null that is parented to the head bone. Since the actual mesh is not being deformed or moved (local to the parent null), the point cache will not work. Is there a way to force the point cache to read world space so that it can read the teeth' motion? Is there another solution that does not involve rearranging the rig?

LOL, days of trying, and it was so simple all along. Thank you!

I have a bird rig that was nicely rigged with controllers. I like the basic position of the animation a lot, but the client is getting picky about the wing flap pacing. To adjust the dope sheet for the wings only, and not all the motion keys, I need to select all the controllers, which are 18 elements. Of course, to get this right takes a lot of back and forth. Each time I click off, I need to re-select each controller by hand. In past programs I worked with, you were able to create "selection sets," which would automatically select the designated controllers. I looked around a lot, and I couldn't find a similar option in Cinema. Perhaps "selection set" is not the correct wording, so I didn't find it. Is this possible in Cinema? it'd be a big help.

So, I plugged in your setting, and it's not terrible. In a youtube video, I saw a plunging that "expanded" the mesh (I believe it was in volume builder). It was an opinion in an older version of C4D, but I see it's no longer in there now. Did they change it to another name/plugin? if I plump this up a pixel or two I should be good. It's almost like a normal offset. Make sense?
