Tyrone,

Please let NL know that there was nothing wrong with having to select a camera in teh C4D plug-In.

The current method of rendering the active viewport is highly counterproductive. It goes beyond dealing with multiple cameras, even with just one, I have my perspective viewport set to my camera but I make small tweaks to camera possition in top view, and if I forget to click back on the perspective viewport before I hit "render" M~R tries to render my top view and fails.

If a camera selection option in the plug-in is not going to come back, could M~R at least render the viewport designatedas "Use as render view" in C4D?

Thanks,

D

I only can support this, it would make life a bit easier!

At least with a camera target it was reliable.
With the current system, sometimes it works, sometimes you get a clean sky render, even though you have an entire scene properly tagged and the proper viewport selected.

to be honest i like the new camera system...

oi had more problems with the previouds, escpecially under 9.6 it crashed all the time.the new is stable here.

What were the crashes like? Were they related to the camera? I never had any issues on either XP or MAC running C4D 9.6 in both.

Stefan, you really haven´t had any errors with the new camera system?

I think half of the time it works, and the rest of the times it renders out a sky, even though i have the correct camera viewport maximized.
The only way i have been able to get pass this is by re-tagging/texturing the entire scene. It´s like the camera looses all the tags.

[lllab]

well not until now.

but i had regular crashes with the "old" in 9.6 when changing camera after rendering one image.

this problem is gone now.

Sounds like a different error.
With this one you don´t have to touch the camera or any of the viewports.
It still switches to "clear sky mode".

Guess it´s back to an old version again, and use AR for the highres stuff.
Business as usual.

strange, i work with it every day.

the only thing that drives me mad is that i now need 5x as long to texture my objects due to the new material tag system where i have to manually drag each! texture in the texture slot.

this is really crazy. but for the rest v11 seems so much better so i didnt go back to v1.0..

but i give you right, the c4d plugin isnt right yet, i hope miguel and juan will give us a better version soon.

cheers
