Viewport bugs

Has anyone ran into the bug where the viewport just crashes for no reason? Mine will freeze up every now and then and I have to restart the program, buttons and menus work fine. Makes no sense

Copy-paste UV from a mesh to another

Hi Guys,

I am new into this software so my question is really stupid: I created an object, then duplicated 6 times.

I made the uv on the first one, how can i transfer the uv set to the others without repeting the process?

Thanks!

help with exporting models from Cinema 4D to Blender

I have been trying to export models for a long time, but it doesn't work, I have some problems with it.

  1. The model has a large file weight after export

  2. The materials look different every time, but not the right way, either black or white

  3. Most of the linking of objects to each other is lost

  4. I'm not good at Cinema 4D, and I can't export to obj properly, Cinema 4D just ignores the selected objects and creates an empty obj file

Aces - Brand Colour confusion

Hi, I am compositing renders from Cinema 4D in ACES colour space.

Renders look as expected between Cinema 4D/Redshift and After effects with the below settings however if I try to import a screengrab or client reference image the colors look off.

Since my working colour space is scene_linear: ACEScg this makes sense however I am not sure how to counter it so that my After Effects imported file looks the same as my desktop preview.

Guessing its some combination of setting the 'interpret footage setting' and some colour adjustment/OCIO effect within my comp but I'm not sure what the correct solution is.
I've looked at lot's of tuts which gt me as far as getting colour partity betwen 3D and comp but not sure what the solution with refernce images is. Ideally I get the client erfernce looking right in my comp so I can colour pick.

Here's how it looks accross desktop and then imported (screengrab set to working colourspace Aces CG). Image just downloaded from Pinterest.

How to fade redshift material opacity

Hi all, I want to fade in a couple textures. They are .png's and they have transparency, and I'm stacking them on top of the base material, in the object manager. Okay, so in the node editor, I've used the color splitter node, to fix the transparency issue (where you see black instead of transparency), and that splitter's alpha option goes into the geometry > opacity port in the RS Standard Material. But when I plug that in, I lose the ability to keyframe that opacity value from black to white--since it is now occupied by the color splitter input. Can you tell me another way to simply animate the transparency on these? many thanks!

Exporting .obj question

Hey! I am trying to import this pin model I made in C4D with multiple materials into a Bezi file but it looks like Bezi can only take 1 material. Does anyone know a way I can get my model in there with the proper materials? (I exported my model as a .obj file). I will also need to export it as an animation at some point so if you have any pointers there I would appreciate it. Thanks!

C4D Display Problem With Complicated Model

Hi,

I have been using C4D R15 for many, many years now. I am creating a very complicated and detailed model. When I try doing anything with the model now, everything changes to transparent rectangles, each representing an object in the model. As soon as I stop doing whatever it is I was doing, everything switches back to solid textured objects. I thought it might be a memory issue, so upgraded to 64GB RAM from 16GB and still had the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks... Al

Cloth sim and belt tag

I'm working on a simple enough cloth sim. A character is running and is wearing a cloak which flows behind him whilst running.

I've got the sim to work fine enough, using a belt tag to keep it attached around the characters neck.

When I try to cache the sim, the cape no longer moves along with the character and just remains stationary as it looks on frame 0.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

Reflected light beam not showing in RS environment

HI

Looking to have a visible light beam reflect between different mirrors. The beam shows fine using RS environment going into the first mirror, but does not show in RS environment on its journey from this mirror and onto other mirrors

Does anyone know the trick?
This is C4D + Redshift

Thanks!

Script to Batch Assign Colliders to IK TAG

Context and purpose: searches through groups "GRP_BodyPart(#)"

Within each group Are "IK_BodyPart(#)" - the Joint With Ik Tag

and "CAP_BodyPart(#)" - the skinned object.

A batch of skinned Objects are assigned as Colliders for every IK other than their own (the one they share a Group/# with)
