Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D rendering without materials

    Posted by Eugene Hooper on June 4, 2009 at 2:47 pm

    Hey guys, Im sure this is a very simple task. All I want to do is to be able to render out my stuff without materials. It has no textures but all sorts of different materails applied to the object. In the render settings I see a checkbox to simply toggle whether it renders out the texture, but nothing for material. Any way of being able to simply uncheck materials as well? Or would I need to go to multi pass rendering and render out a particular channel?

    Thanks in advance, Eugene

    Unchecking Textures will turn off most things but not stuff like Danel etc.
    The Illumination pass (in a multipass render) is pretty close but doesn’t have Specular you could just render those two in a multipass but if there is any color in the Specular (like in the default Danel) that will show in the Specular channel – you could always desaturate it in PS…

    the plugin “disable materials” should do the trick
