C4D Redshift Gradients
Hi all, I have an annoying issue with a sweep object, and a redshift gradient I have applied to it.
Essentially the caps of the sweep aren’t following the gradient as per the rest of the sweep (screenshot 1).I tried putting this into a VOLUME builder, which kind of worked, but then I can’t get the gradient to display in the same way (see screenshot 2). I don’t know Redshift that well so am a bit lost!
Would appreciate some support 🙂
Thanks
Jimmy

Hi James,
The reason why the Gradients doesn’t follow the same effect on the Caps is because the mesh topology in the Cap is different from the rest of the Sweep, so to overcome this you need to change the the material projection from the UVW Mapping to a projection suitable for the Sweep shape here such as spherical or cylindrical so that the application of the material will not be related with the topology but with the shape as a whole and then you can control the projection through the Offset, let me know if this works for you.

Hi Kouraib, thanks for responding, much appreciated!
I will play around with material projections and see how I go, but your video was really helpfulThanks
