many thanks :)))

Applying a connect upon the tracer solve the issue, but I think it should accept the tracer object as is

Hello Dr. Sassi
I dunno if it is a bug or a "normal" behaviour, but Spline warp doesn't update when any animation is applied on it
I attached a scene

Thanks, I will check it

Hello, it is all in the title, in Redshift when I assign a mesh as a light source (area light in mesh mode) it refuses to appear inside PuzzleMatte ID or Cryptomatte
The only poor workaround is to render it in a different scene without Mesh lights
Is it a bug or a logical limitation ?

Many thanks, it makes total sense

Hello
I am trying to guess the easiest way to create lines between two objects that simulate arcs that emits from a source to touch the walls of a bigger object, these lines I will convert them later to electrical arcs using the cool tool inside Assets manager.
I apologise in advance if the question is very basic, but I don't know why, I can't figure it out

Hello Dr.
Thanks for your answer, unfortunately I can't make a machine to machine as a direct LAN connection because I will lose access to my Server where all my projects live. However, I found a solution that is so odd, which is to uninstall, and delete preference folders and install again on each machine I wanna use as a render client, not a great solution because artists will find their preference folder erased. I tried without uninstalling and by only deleting all preference folder, it didn't work. With this solution the machine appears green, connected and usable for team rendering, but after finishing the job, it becomes red / gray / unreachable or even offline, even if it is not
My ticket is (removed after copied) ... many thanks many times, it will really make my life easier
All the best

Hello, I am trying to setup a team render with my 5 available machines and I am encountering unpredictable behaviour with the machines listing, sometimes and on a random fashion a machine turns into green, most of the time red, I am not sure what could cause this issue.

I have of course checked that all machines have same C4d version - same Redshift version - same operating system - No other tasks running or no enough memory - adding them again by removing then adding - ping shows no data loss - they just show up with grey notification, or connected but red, I also noticed that the machines status change between Team Render in C4D and Team Render Server

I am using a 10Gb LAN network with 10Gb ports on each machine, and nothing fancy is hooked up with the network settings

I contacted support, and their answer was kind of automatic, repetitive and I have the feelings it is an AI resond, coz when I asked for a real support ticket, they sent me again the area I was clear I already checked

Any way I can have an expert on that, or hire a Team Render Specialist to help me setup my render farm ?

Best regards

Hello Dr.
First I wanna express how much your role and contribution is just amazing, and it helps every time to solve problems and stick with C4d as a solution. Basically you are one of the reasons why I don't want to migrate to any 3d package

I have a simple question regarding hinge connectors, in the example, I wanna the book "covers" to react to the B_BOOK animation, I tried constraints to lock the movement so the hinge can play when the main controller B_BOOK spin, rotate and move.

I am very newbie to using connectors in general, maybe it is the first time I'm playing with them, if you have any recommendations or ideas to make this simple dynamic book rig better, I will be all ears

Best regards
