My question is: Am I able to add another palette, in this same tab (see below), so that I can have the selection tools in there also...

PS. I don't want them to be apart of the same palette because then the icons will all have to be the same size.

In the help file, it says that increasing the max samples in the shadow parameters makes the shadow less grainy and that the min samples shouldn't be too close to the max.
Does this mean that the lower the min sample number the better? What are these numbers affecting with regards what I am looking at on my render.

Long time C4D user, never really asked the question.

Hoping someone can help with this query.
I am importing HD viz (pro res hq, 29.97 fps) onto a projector in C4D.

When in C4D, there is a huge interlacing problem with the viz.

The way we solved it was to import the original viz into after effects, and then when outputing we adjusted the render setting to "upper field".

Does anyone know if there are settings in C4D, or settings the editors can use in final cut to avoid the step of importing the edit into after effects to re-render before dropping it into C4D?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!.

Thanks very much.]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:39:25 +0000 http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53338-c4d-interlace-problem/ Weird Hiccup in the Camera Animation http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/53318-weird-hiccup-in-the-camera-animation/
Sorry for uploading the full project.

I am trying to set up the depth of field on a camera and would like to find out the distance between the camera and various objects in the scene so I can set the DOF as required.

Does anyone know of a method or any plugin that would do this measurement please?

Cheers,
