Thank you! It works perfectly.
Also, thanks for the information about the image size, it does help to know that they can be wider.

Hi Dr Sassi,

I am trying to use the Playing Cards from the asset browser and am having trouble. I think I understand how this is supposed to work, I can go into the material and activate the card I wish to show, So I set the count to 5 and select the cards to show in the materials "Multi Shader" it looks correct in the work window but when rendering for Redshift only the Joker is rendered on all 5 cards. Is there something I can do to get this to work? I am also adding a random effector.

[Screenshot 2025-01-13 at 9.04.51 AM.png](Image dimensions are too big)
Also, why is attaching an image so limited here? 500x500 is so small! Seems like it should be a file size limit, not a dimension limit.

Thanks, Mark!

I am getting out-of-memory errors constantly now. This happens when rendering, seems to happen at about 120 frames into the render revert time. Very frustrating. I think it is the FOG in the RS Environment I am using.

Thanks, Dr Sassi!

This helps a lot. I have a better understanding now of what we are seeing. I think we can get the look we want with your information and add noise to the sections that are not generating noise.

Thanks, Yes setting "Final Rendering" to progressive did most of it but I am still getting some sections without the noise but it is now the same in the Viewer and the output. I will try to figure it out and will possibly make a project to upload here.

Thanks

I am working with someone who really likes the look of the noise in the RedShift window with low quality render. but when I output the image it is clean. it is like there is noise reduction being added but It is off in the redshift settings. Below are the same frame, the Redshift window fully rendered, and the picture viewer output.
I know I can add noise with a plugin but it does not look anything like the noise I get here.
Dr Sassi, do you know how I can get the look of the Redshift window in my output render?

Thanks!

Thanks, I had the wrong tag on it! There are 2 Rigid body tags!!??? What the $&*@#^!! I used the one in the Bullet section! Why are there 2 tags with the same name, very confusing!

Thank you for the help, Dr Sassi!!!

Thank you for the help, Dr Sassi!!!

I am sure I have done this before,
Place a rigid body tag on an object, go to Scene Settings, and set the gravity to negative and the object should float, correct? I can not get this to work even though I am seeing tutorials on YouTube showing it working. am I missing something? I am on a Mac with he latest C4D.

Thanks, Mark

That was it! I thought the Boole was supposed to do the hiding of the object.

Thank you

Wow is it really that simple!??
I will try it.
Thank you!

I just uploaded the files.

I made a change, I was using Fields to control the PolyFX but have switched to using a Boole to reveal the layer with the PolyFX fixing the issue of the Polys moving at a greater speed while the field exposes the effect.

But the Boole creates artifacts, as seen in the image included in the upload. using the Boole also flashes the PolyFX on and off in our project, This flashing does not happen in this small project, I have seen this before, it seems when you use a boole with an object that is in a null or has an effector it creates strange behavior.

Thanks!

The Redshift Render window is showing a mirrored image of the work window, How is this possible?

I have a disk with a Field controlling an effector to wipe on an animated Poly rotation effect to make the polys move, this works fine in the viewport but when I render it the polys only move while the field is animating on or off, while it is holding the Polys stop moving.

Dr. Sassi please help!
I have attached a link to the project and the materials used.

Thank you!

Thank you, Dr. Sassi!

This worked perfectly in our main project! The speed slider was the icing on the cake!

Thanks again,
Mark

I have a path that makes a gentle sweep and then another that wraps around a hill. I am trying to get a cloned Greek Key to follow this path and animate along it but I don't think I am doing this correctly. I can't get the key to map
/connect to the path. Is there a better way to do this?

I have attached a stripped-down project. We want the key to animate down the path swerving from the left side of the path to the right side, then eventually change this to smooth out making a larger sweep but always mapping to the path if this makes sense.

I think I got it, i somehow found 3d Channel Extract plugin, this must be something new.

Thank you!

Thank you for the video and project

I still can not get it to work. I followed the steps, even when back, and set up a scene just as you had it.
The only thing I see is different is when I set the levels in After Effects my histogram sliders move off-screen, and yours stay on. I am on a Mac, this could be why it is not working.

here is my After Effects file and C4d file along with the .EXR files https://we.tl/t-fHdaaSjlBt

yes, I should have uploaded a project!
