Hi recording-team,

Thanks for the file.

I certainly do not have the option to cache 3375 frames just to check it. So, my findings are based on caching it 24 frames (some like the term bake instead), I get the same render result in the RS Rendering window as in the Picture Viewer.

Please contact tech support, as I can't reproduce it here.

All the best

P.S.: I wrote a report.
Again, thank you for pointing it out.

Hi recording-team,

Here is a simple setup. Please move the Attractors around to see how they influence the groups.
CV4_2025_drs_24_PAat_01.c4d

I dragged them under the group I wanted to affect, and the strength was higher.
For particles, that should do the trick. The main part of how the attraction works is in the tab "Object," to limit it, use the Fields.

Cheers

Hi recording-team,

Off topic. Please keep things to the original theme or open a new thread; to place new content here makes it hard to read along. Thank you.

Yes, audio is crucial, and I'm typically the one who complains about it. It is often not simple with guests and live shows. Anyway, I have no excuse; I am just stating that I understand your perspective. In the past years, I have tested a lot of USB mics, and I often use our meetings to get feedback, half of them have noise. My findings are, with no surprise, that you get what you pay for, and I wish we could send around good gear before each show. Anyway, here the mic was just to far away, to the reverb ruined it.

To your question:
Click the CC option, and you get all the text.

Enjoy.

Hi recording-team,

Thanks for the file.

The mid-portion of image 0137 or 0150 (see URL below) seems clear.

Perhaps your graphic card allows for a different Noise reduction,. This would be the only idea I have left. I tested all other options. Noise reduction is applied (AFAIK) after the Rendering: Render Settings> Redshift> Sampling> Denoising.

Let me know if the Denoise set to off helps. It is just a wild guess.

Cheers

Please have a look again, recording-team. 🙂

I updated the links, yes, I used the file from your other thread.
Thanks for pointing that out. This allowed me to double check everything again.

Have a great weekend

Hi recording-team,

Particles can fade out by setting up an age-based gradient for the Alpha channel used inside the material.

Let me try again: The MoGraph Tracer does not have any idea about time, more precisely, age. Without this information, fading is not possible.

The workaround initially shown can't produce the same color on a single spline. So I created a new material, with a different color that is supplied to every single one in the same way.

So, you say that X-Particle has an option for Splines to fade out based on age?

If you like to suggest features, please do so here: "Share your ideas."

Hi, recording team; please ask new questions in a new thread. Thank you.

Mixing threads will make it harder to search or read.

For now, leave it here.

Drag the lib4d file to the Asset Browser.
An alert will come; click OK.
When double-click on the icon of the new file in the Asset Browser, another alert will come up: Do you want to convert it? Yes.
Then, look for the Convert Folder in the Asset Browser.

It should work if the file in the lib4d file is compatible and has all the needed parts.

All the best

Thanks for the reply, record-team.

Yes, that happens from time to time…

Enjoy your project!

See you in a new thread then, recording-team. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi recording-team,

Please only one theme per thread. Please find below two links with additional information.

The Cinema 4D crash reports are in the "_bugreports" folder.
Go to Main Menu> Edit> Preferences, then the left lower button: Open Preference Folder.

Since you got no "Send Report" alert during re-opening, it is most likely that there is not anything from the last report.

Depending on your OS, files might be outside Cinema 4D, which is also outside my scope.

If you don't like to update to 2025 right now, use at least the latest 2024.5.1.
