Thank you very much for the reply, Dutchbird.

I'm glad you have your file.

Cheers

Thanks for the update, Dutchbird.

Fingers crossed, either Apple will find a solution or the developers from Maxon will find a workaround.

My best wishes

Thank you very much, Dutchbird, for your reply.

I'm glad you got what you needed.

It isn't easy to see exactly what happens in an image. What you see in your image is also based on what you know, details I retrieve from the image alone.
Please share a scene file for future questions so I can answer them faster and in more detail.

Enjoy your project

You're very welcome, Dutchbird.

Thank you, Dutchbird,

Same here; I am still learning every day, but I would get bored otherwise 😉

Enjoy!

Sounds like it worked, Dutchbird.

Let me know if there anything missing about this.

Enjoy your weekend

Thanks for the reply, Dutchbird.

Yes, the setup depends on what you like to work on.

I use Iso Line Editing for this kind of work.

It's great that you got the wanted results 🙂

Thank you very much for the kind feedback.

Hi Dutchbird,

If more than one object needs to be toggled off at a time, use the Selection Object or several of those.

Besides that, Takes can be used, or create a Null object with User Data (Boole interface - User Date) and have that as your 'Mixer panel' via XProsso.

Enjoy your weekend

Thank you for your input, Dutchbird.

We spend a lot of time "living" on the screen in front of us, and I have the same feeling; if someone comes along and paints that "space" I'm living in with unwanted colors and places stickers on my door, I would feel uncomfortable. Similarly to that is our screen space. We have many hours per day that are our "space".

I surely understand that changes are not trivial.

I hope we can get this working for you.

As a trainer, I have to stay in standard mode so as not to throw people off with my idea of an interface, so customization is typically my weak spot.

Anyway, it is just data, and I can work with that. I just need time.

Cheers

Thank you very much for your reply; no trouble at all, Dutchbird.

The manual doesn't share much about troubleshooting, so it is worth exploring deeper for the forum.

Thanks for your question

Cheers

Thanks for the information, Dutchbird.

I thought you meant the items provided, and I could not find any black-grounds.

Do the following:

Click on the item in the Asset Browser,

RMC (right mouse click) on the item> Show Info

Go to the Info tab, RMC on the Preview> "Update Preview from File".

Choose the image you like to use, typically a Dome light rendered square-sized image (jpg)

===

To my knowledge, there is no other way, as any extra item in the Asset Scene used for the background would populate the Object Manager after loading it.

Enjoy

Thanks for contacting tech support, Dutchbird.

It is often unclear what triggers a bug to show up when a question is asked here, as I can't reproduce only a certain number of problems here based on my little variety of hardware/OS combinations. (I'm not supposed to give tech support here anyway; BTW, this needs to be split for various reasons.)

Besides that problem being annoying, it is good that they could pinpoint that your problem falls into an already known category.

I have asked many times to re-introduce the RS Camera tag for the standard camera, and then we would have a workaround, perhaps right now.

Thanks for your efforts and patience

My best wishes

You're very welcome, Dutchbird.

Have a nice weekend as well.
Cheers

Hi Dutchbird,

A similar setup with perhaps some primitives might help. No promises, but I'm happy to dive into it.

Cheers

Perfect, thanks for the reply that you have it working, Dutchbird.

🙂

My best wishes

Hi Dutchbird,

I'm sure you remember the Meyers (After Effects writers and Motion Graphic gurus). They told me they archive old computers to run previous OS and AE versions on them so older client projects can be worked on without stress. That was a long time ago before they left L.A.

But I think it is a valid idea; hence, I keep laptops as they are in a box. (Lately, this tip helped me open a video done in a Sorenson Codec—nothing the current OS can handle.

So, take care of the old iMac; it might be more valuable than it seems.

My best wishes.
