Thanks. Very generous.

How do you pronounce Jrvoje? As far as I remember it's very close to Harvey but with more of a W sound instead of the V sound.

Great new. Thank you. Subscribed

Thanks. Very generous.

Good news and a big thanks.

I certainly am. And to save face I'm just not going to care. I just never thought alcohol could do such a thing. I should have typed it in capitals so he might have heard me over at cgtalk. Silly me.

MAXON should definitely put out some average between our expectations and reality. Expectations of how long a particular part of the system is going to take don't matter anymore, because everyone is already working on that on there own. It is very short-sighted for a company that is in the same game as their competitors to focus on such a narrow band of competitiveness. Just get it out there and they will come. If it's what they want then they will want it. If you disagree then why are you having it and why do you want it? While I'm here. Scott, have a day off.

Dave. I like your version. I think imashination has the three leaving thing sorted though. Personally, I'm hanging loose until the R20 release. Just don't want to get myself wound up about it. I'm an optimistic realist or a realistic optimist or something. I go to bed at night praying to the Great 3D God in the sky(Physical) that this next release is going to blow my socks off. I want to be super enthusiastic but the realist in me keeps dragging me back. I do think R20 will be the business but how much of the business will it be? Lots I hope.

Pretty much the same as me. I bought two years of the MSA last time so I get R20 this year without the payout. I have had next to no time using C4D for the last year, mainly because I was working heavy shifts on a permanent night shift and another reason I've not really been present here at the Cafe. Luckily, today I got an offer of a new job which I start next week. Day shifts and half day Fridays. Sounds so good after night shifts. Hopefully, I will get back to C4D in a major fashion. If R20 is the killer version that we all hope for then I'll stick with C4D, if not then expect an R20 Studio to be up for sale.

Well it was a good idea. Since it's redundant, so is this by the way, I thought up a name for the plugin. Point Less. I'm laughing at my own jokes now. I can feel you all grimacing.

Good to have you back Bob.

Sounds good. Looking forward to this as usual

Now Now. Keep it civil.

Thanks. Looks pretty cool.

Well after a lot of haying and humming I decided to bite the bullet and renewed my MSA, not for one year but for two. First time I've ever had enough cash spare. For me R19 isn't what I hoped for but I can see it is moving in the right direction. 20 better be the one that pushed C4D up to where it was when I first started using it. With a new core and every thing we have refreshed and notched up a gear then we'll be up where the air is clear. That's what I've got my fingers crossed for.

Thanks. Looks pretty cool. I'lll get stuck in when I've got over starting a new job. Night shifts are a killer for your concentration.

I had this problem for ages. When I upgraded to R18 it went away. I had contacted MAXON support thinking it was a memory leak but hey said no and that was it. One thing I tried a lot was keeping an eye on the Task manager in Windows to see if there was anything affecting C4D but couldn't find anything. One thing concerning another piece of software that I was having big problems with recently was Avast anti virus. Got rid of Avast and problem went away. Not sure if this makes a difference but it's an avenue to investigate.

Thanks. Works a treat. Ivy with everything

Whoever is giving you the negative feedback, cut them off from all future communication. C4D can churn out as much quality as you like.

Signed up and looking forward to the future.

I would expect the file to open fine in R18. The only problem might be if you have plugins that are out dated and don't work with R18. You could try the demo and see if there is a problem. https://www.MAXON.net/en-gb/try/demo-download/

Try setting the UV projection in your wood material to Cubic.

Head to the Store and you'll find it there. Link top of the page.

Without seeing your scene, another thing that it could be if there is nothing else in your scene apart from the objects mentioned is that there is nothing to reflect. Sometimes objects can be obscured in some situations until there is some other object being vied through or reflected in the transparent objects.
