Missing Tracks?? a better way?
Ohh ok. I started animating a gradient material of an object. Looking in the the timeline the animiation of the gradient did not show up. So I went into Shader Properties right clicked the Gradient > Animation > Show Track. Viola! I see my gradient animation keyframes, but my previous object animation keyframes are gone. Whats the best way to get everything with a keyframe visible? I know I can drag the object to the timeline. Is there a way to get everything in the object menu that has a keyframe to show up in the timeline? Including material keyframes?
Thanks much for the help!

Thanks man, I’ve used this before. But this still doesn’t show my animated gradient in the timeline. And, when I add the “show track”(so I can see it) from the gradient > animation right click sub menu it wipes my timeline clean and only adds itself. And then when doing “Show Animated” it of course only shows the keyframes for the gradient, that being the only thing in the timeline. Can you “show track” without losing the objects currently in the timeline? The only way i can get’m back is to select them all then drag them back over to the timeline. ? Sorry if Im overlooking something or thats just the way it is. Im pretty much a hack just trying to better understand the workflow.
Thanks again!

There’s a bit of a trick in r10–all you have to do is Timeline>View>One level up.
For some reason the default settings exclude material (and some other) tracks. If you want to change the defaults, you can open a blank document, set things up the way you want them, and save the file to the Maxon root directory as “new.c4d”.

Awesome! Thank you.
