  • “Play Forwards” button not working

    Posted by Bryan Zilar on January 29, 2013 at 6:41 pm

    Hi All,

    I’ve done a superficial search on Google and the forums about this, but haven’t found a specific answer. I’m learning how to use C4 right now with a tutorial on a trial version. I’m having some trouble seeing a ram preview of my comps when I press the play forwards button. When I scrub through manually, I can see the animation, however, I can only see the object axes animating when I try to use full speed playback.

    My computer is a fairly old Mac Pro, but I would think with 12GB of ram that I should be OK.

    Wrong?

    Cinema 4d automatically select a less requreing Display mode when necessary. This often happen when playing because stuff is happening.
    12 GB should be good. whats our cpu and gpu?
    If you want you can see the different display types in the menu at the preview window. or use the hotkey “n”.

    Kind regards Rasmus Gerner
