  Help with VideoWall issue

  Posted by Diego Massanti on December 11, 2009 at 9:01 am

  Hello there, I’m working in a scene that contains several LCD screens, each screen is supposed to display a different video. Im using a cloner object in order to replicate the screens, and i was wondering if there is any way to instruct the cloner object to, for example, change the shader’s start frame to a different value for every child…. or something like that…. not really sure what would be the right way to do this in C4d while avoiding the tedious work of creating the screens one by one.
  Any help greatly appreciated.

  I attach a screenshot of my scene so you get a better idea of whats the problem. Every screen should display a different video (or a different part of a long video file).

  

  Diego.

  Cheers.

  If you want a different video on each screen you could use a multishader and put a different video in each channel of the multishader.
