Hello!
Here's a (hopefully correctly formatted) version of my questions!

I've been getting a 'Plugin 'Dirt' (ID 1011136) error when I open a texture pack on c4d. Sometimes I get the same error with 'Redshift' instead of 'Dirt' as well - that means i need to buy that plugin right? Will ignoring the plugin warning break my design files if i save them?

here is the image url on wetransfer if it doesnt work - https://we.tl/t-q4aiOKwuR2

I tried using what looks like a water style material on a practice piece (the material with the blue highlight at the bottom) , but it seems to remove all dimension from the object and create this weird pixelated column pattern, even when I render it. I've attached an image of what it looks like. Do you think this is an issue with me missing some textures? I updated my graphics drivers but it still didnt fix the issue. here is the url if the image doesnt work! its on we transfer now - https://we.tl/t-f1I54V3RyC

Thank you!!

@Dr-Sassi Hello! my apologies, i will write my question with the image in another thread. I hadnt realised I could attach images here - when i pressed the image icon it came up with the (image url) descriptor, but i guess my image didnt work - sorry!

and yes, I'm using windows 10 at the moment!

Thank you!

@Dr-Sassi Thank you so much for your reply! I wasn't expecting one so soon, thank you so much ! I've tried messing around with the settings on a new file and I've been getting some cool results. I still get the dirt error though, this time with 'Redshift' as well - that means i need to buy that plugin right? Will ignoring the plugin warning break my design files if i save them?

I also wanted to ask, i tried using a water style material on a practice piece, but it seems to create a weird pixellated pattern, even when i render it. Here is an image of what it looks like - https://pasteboard.co/Lr8UR9oNDd8m.png . Do you think this is an issue with me missing some textures?

Sorry if the questions seem a bit repetitive, im new and i dont go to an arts college so i can only ask around

Thank you from all the way in the UK !!

Good morning!

This is a bit of a long shot, but I was learning how to use cinema 4d for the first time and came across the great resource that was your 500 materials pack. I'm currently using a newer version of the program, so unfortunately I keep getting the 'Dirt' missing error. By any chance, do you have the attachments you made from this post ten years ago? http://www.cineversity.com/forums/viewthread/1457
If not, which version of cinema 4d did you use when you made it? The resource is great, so I'd really like to find a way to use it.

Thank you for your time and hard work!
