  • Animating lights in C4D 11

    Posted by Gunter Heine on June 25, 2009 at 11:24 pm

    Hi

    Having only modelled in C4D I am now having the pleasure of animating. With the lights however I can’t seem to find a way to change the throw or dimming over time. The lights are in the timeline with their little film sign next to them but the items that can be keyed only seem to be 3d co-ordinates as opposed to other stationary effects.

    Apologies for the fairly newbie question but can’t find anything in the help manual.

    Thanks in advance

    By the way C4D 11

    In the Object-Manager select the Light /
    In the Attributes-Manager (General-Tab) set the Intensity-Slider to your desired position /
    Hold down the control-key (Mac) and click that tiny Dot in front of Intensity /
    The Dot turns red, indicating you have set a keyframe/ move the Time-slider forward… /
    Or, click the “red key symbol” (below the viewport) and set a key-frame /
    Or, in the Timeline control-click (Mac) anywhere under Intensity to set a keyframe/
    Either adjust the Key Value in the Attributes-Manager /
    Or, open Intensity (little triangle) and adjust the Intensity there (move up or down).
    Make sure the “little filmstrip” is yellow (active).

    Regards
    Nolan
