Yes, that is what I did and it worked. Thank you!

It's the default startup scene. In the preferences under Files>Startup>Logo
That scene is frozen at frame 1.25.

I got it to work! The problem was a frame mismatch. The default C4D file on the new release(the 3D layout of the C4D logo) has a nice lighting and backdrop setup. Since I am a bit of a beginner with C4D I used that to make my new files, as the stage was already in place.

The problem was that this document was frozen/paused on frame 1.25, so when I deleted the logo, then began working and adding keyframes, they would be set to .25 on each frame, so F1.25, F.2.25, etc.

When I went to render, I set it for Frame 0 - 250 and I think it could not see the .25 frames so couldn't render them. Once I went into the scene and set everything to single frames with no decimal, it worked.

Thnk you for your help! Dave

Thank you I will try later tonight when home from work. If you would like me to render the test file in the RS Renderview once the animation starts playing that will work until I cache it, then it will probably break. I will try both the RS Renderview window and then try to render it from the frame where the particles start in RS itself

Hello all,
I really need help. I am trying to learn C4D but I am ready to give up. I bought a new computer specifically for this program, so I can work as a Motion Designer Artist.

I have an Asus Rog Strix with 13th gen Intel i7 GeForce RTX 4060 GDDR6 @ 8GB 128 bits.

I have gotten 4 pieces to render, but cannot get particles or pyro to render through redshift. I have tried caching objects, caching my scene, restarting my computer, restarting C4D all with no rendering from Redshift.

Caching breaks my animation in the viewport.
Redshift will render basic objects in my scenes and my animated cameras, but nothing else appears in the final render.

Please help. What am I doing wrong? I tried updating to the latest in C4D and Redshift today and it still did the same thing.
