  • Novice Having Render Issues

    Posted by George Harbeson on April 28, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    I just started using C4D and have hit a snag trying to render a scene I have set up. The geometry is quite small as I imported a rather complicated mesh from realflow which is choking my computer up despite its small stature. I set up an animated camera to follow the geometry for 60 frames. When I render a single frame, the image looks completely normal and seems to be framed appropriately in the hd box. However, when I attempt to render the sequence or a preview, the geometry is so small I can barely make it out on the screen. I spent several hours trying to remedy this myself but my lack of knowledge in the program has kept me from finding a solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Did you designate your animated camera as the render view? If not, go to the viewport’s Camera menu, “Scene Cameras”, and select the camera. Then in the viewport’s edit menu, “Use as render view”.
