Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Dotted line

    Posted by Jonah Michael on June 21, 2010 at 2:57 pm

    I have recently spotted this dotted line in the perspective view port and what i see that it does is split the screen at rendering.

    Here is a picture: https://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4981/newbitmapimagebl.png

    I am not sure on how to expand it, i can’t think of any logical place to look for such an option in cinema 4d. Basicly my problem is that it splits the view when rendering, i don’t think i can explain it well, here is a picture showing it:

    You can see there is the material color blue on the bottom but just where the dotted line ends there is that grey color (or different depending on what background you put). So how can i get rid of the dotted line?

    Could anyone please help me with this? Thank you 😀

    I think you are refering to your floor object and the horizon line that comes as a result of it.
    If you want to get rid of this line you can use the alpha channel to fade it out. Sometimes making a curved surface like photographers use is a good way to avoid this…

    What you’re looking at is the horizon line. The floor object extends into infinity, so it appears to end at the horizon. The gray area is the sky object showing above the floor.

    If you want them to blend together, give them the same material and put a compositing tag on the floor with “compositing background” checked. If you’re using a material other than a flat color, set the floor’s texture tag to use frontal mapping.

    I have given them the same material, but for some reason the problem was that i was using the fog setting, and that was causing the materials not to blend, essentially giving them different colors. I’m not sure why the fog did that, but they blend now that i removed it.

    Thank for your answer.

    Ah, I didn’t see that you’d used fog. If you still want to use it for some reason you could just give the fog the same (or similar) color as the floor material.
