My final render is different from what I see on the editor
I have a 5 second animation with rigid body tags applied to several objects, basically, an invisible object hits a text object and this one in turn hits a bottom text object, so the middle one falls and the bottom one shatters when the middle one touches it.
In the editor one of the letters from the middle text falls on top of another one, and stays there until the end of the animation, dangling but not falling, that’s what I want as it looks nice and natural; however when I render to the picture viewer, low res no anti alias, just to check camera movement, the same letter falls all the way to the bottom instead of hanging on top of the other object as desired.
What should I do in order to have the same action in both the editor and my final render?
Thanks in advance.

The first thing I would do is cache the simulation tag(s). That should take care of the problem.

Thanks Adam, could you explain how to do that? I’m not that advanced in Cinema 4D.
Thanks again.

Sure. Just select your dynamics tags, click on the Cache tab in the attributes manager, and then click the Bake button. That causes the dynamics system to internally convert all the motion to keyframes so it should render exactly the same in the editor, renderer, or over NET. It also speeds up the editor and allows you to scrub back and forth without messing up the dynamics.
If you need to adjust something you can always clear the cache.

Thanks Adam, that was it!
I had to add an extra Mograph Cache tag since I couldn’t find how to tweak the settings in the dynamics tag, but it did the trick.
Perhaps those options are only available within the same tag in the studio version?
Thanks again!
