I am having difficulties with procedurals in C4D (R15), OSX 10.8.5: When I create a maxwell material in C4d and then in MXED modify it to a procedural, the material preview works fine. I then close MXED and it asks me to save the material so I save it. The material preview in C4d still looks fine (i.e. with the procedural on) but in FIRE no procedurals show up in the test render. I also notice that when i go back into MXED and hit "update" I get the message "data preprocess failed. render cannot continue". Also, the texture icon (reflectance 0) is not orange as it was before when I created the procedural material but is greyed out. One workaround I found it is to save the material from within MXED to a known location and then to "link" the material to this file from within c4d. This seems to work fine. Is there another, more straightforward way to solve this though?
