I purchased a 3d model in FBX format> As is very often reported FBX texture do not import So now I have the task to create the C4D materials from the FBX textures The problem is I am unsure where to put the FBX textures in C4D material C4d material has many channels and and in each channel the textures can be employed in many different ways All the textures are in the following image I hope someone can tell me where to place them in a C4D material Thanks Greg

Welcome to the cafe Not enough information to advise. You need to upload the scene file with questions like this so we can see all the relevant settings. CBR

I'm sure you can slow the sim rate down in MSFS 2020 or FSX. You can just do a replay in the sim itself and that should work. I always prefered P3D to MSFS but it is a bit expensive. FRAPS is a good screen recorder as well. Also the newer Nvidia GPU cards record games. There was an add-on called flight recorder.

You can assign shortcut key to the "turn on-off" command :

@Cerbera Thank you very much for the answer, it helps me a lot, very detailed, and efficient, thanks to the gif I understood the process, you must have guessed I'm not a modeler, this is an old model found on Sketchfab, I mainly use Cinema 4D to make renders. You save me a lot of time, if there is anything I can do in return don't hesitate to ask me. Best regards. (Your technique works very well, but afterwards I did it manually with the "poly pen" tool to get something really clean.) It took me 2-3 min, but the result is perfect! It was really what I wanted

Thanks so much @jed

Is it just me, or did 3D work get more unstable with the trend towards heavy reliance on GPU? I remember C4D 11.5 - I literally couldn't crash the application if I wanted, it was so stable. At the time, it was the most reliable heavy-duty-software I knew. Nowadays, it works, well, ok-ish. There are good days, but sometimes I have working hours filled with strange crashes that don't occur the next day, (That's on different PCs). Whenever I find the time to report crashes, it's always something squarely GPU-related. Redshift having hiccups, nvidia-drivers you need to avoi

Hello, After making an animation based on a Metaball, I would now like to be able to export it 'baked' in an FBX to Unity. I don't see how to do this at all...could you please help me? Thank you for your help!

I am going to try the Flt sim, it might work. The lack of slow Flt is an issue but I am sure there is a solution by using wind. I still like the idea of flying behind my Apache model while panning around but I’ll listen to the experts and try video first.

Hi, One of my main things with 3D is using all types of simulations to get nice abstract artworks. While xparticles are there and cover that area in c4d, a solid cloth/soft body simulation tool doesnt exist. The controls we have and everything are great but.. performance is extremely poor. So i was wondering, when I can find plugins like this : https://3dtools.info/shop/uniflex4?fbclid=IwAR2z_TojC9kJNjQ7SHGDjWnUr3WYRTWWfK9AaLQ-ZjnoAraqm6t2GUZyw7I why MAXON doesnt do a native tooll ike this? This is a very old plugin btw, works really fast few versions now and no matter core of

There's a built-in screen-recorder geared towards gaming in Windows 10. It seems to be quite robust, so I'd give that a try. Win+G is the Shortcut I think? Edit: Ah, sorry, you're a macOs-user. Well... no idea

Beast!!!! many thanks!

Thanks Smolak, that's a very useful set of tools! Never heard of it before. If only it would be possible to move some of these buttons behind every object in the object manager. It would be very nice to have the single out, lock and hide button next to the traffic lights. This just seems more logical to me. Or is this the moment I should start using layers and use the buttons there? I thought most people do not use layers with small projects.

Oh no the angles and stuff look great! Most product shots nowadays are CGI anyways so we're kinda used to it. Didn't even notice that. I know exactly what you mean. But I think there's two distinctions to make here: Surface / Material Detail Surface / Material Damage I think my issue with the materials is that there isn't really any surface detail visible if we ignore the metal for a second. The plastics look like you took a default material and turned up the roughness a bit. So I guess your thought that the bumps are too subtle is probably correct since I di
