    Hi,

    I’m pretty new to C4d. I’m using V.11.
    I can’t seem to figure this out. I’m creating materials and I’ll make an adjustment. Then I want to see how it looks at another point in time and my alpha will be turned off, or the displacement values are different. There are no keyframes, it just keeps seeming to default to the values I put at that location in time… at least I think. I feel like there got to be something checked I don’t understand. Can you keyframe material values?

    I hope I didn’t leave anything out,

    Thanks

    yes, almost all values can be keyframed but Automatic Keyframing is not turned on by default. You can turn that on (Autokeying in the Animation menu amongst other places) or keyframe by hand by option/alt clicking on the open circle beside the attribute you want to record.
