Render Question
Hopefully someone could answer this question and save me from another giant round of renders. I have a project that has about 20 cylinders with some text mapped on to each one. Is there a way to have c4d render each cylinder out separately? There must be an easier way than manually turning on and off layers (which I’ve been doing).
Thanks,

You can try multipass render which will render alpha masks for each object that you give an object ID to. (using the Compositing Tag). This should allow you to seperate your objects.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck

Thank you! That almost works…especially since all objects need to be white. When I tried your method it knocks out any object that passes in front of the object that is being singled out. I need all the objects in their own movie. 🙁

Using the object buffer settings in the compositing tag, you can assign a separate alpha channel for each object. Bear in mind that these are just mattes you can use to separate the objects in a compositing program. What you can’t do is see one object behind another (unless there’s some kind of layered output I don’t know about.) Your best bet there, I think, is to save three different versions of the project and load them into the batch renderer. At least that way you don’t have to set up one project at a time.
