Show All Animated
So… I’ve set up a whole bunch of animation parameters… moving objects, object tags, material parameters, render effects.
Using the Show Animated and Automatic Mode, most of the animations show up in the time line.
However, animated Parameters in a Material or from the Render Settings/Effects don’t show up.
For example, if I animate Glow Parameters in a material, this animation doesn’t show up unless I drag it to the timeline…. then all the other animations dissappear from the timeline.
Same with Effects in the render settings.
I would think that all Animation should show up using the SHOW ALL function.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

10 yes? It works as expected in 9 but you have to use Animation/Show Track in 10. Either a change I haven’t read yet (don’t have 10 yet) or it’s not working right. Send a report to Maxon?

Yes on 10
Yes… Show Track works…. but it immediately turns off the Automatic Mode Function and the Show All Function and makes all the other animation tracks dissappear.
Then when you turn Auto back on and Show All back on the Material track disappears and all the others come back.
Just a bit of an issue if you don’t remember all the Material animations and have to one by one search and make them appear. Same with Render/Effect options like Glow and such.
I will send a complaint to C4D
Thanks

It is a bit of a drag, and it’s cause by the fact that r10 timeline defaults to the object level rather than the document level. You can see that if you click the little house icon in the upper right to open up the address bar. You can go to the document level by going to the TL’s view menu and selecting “One level up.”
You can make this the default by opening a blank document, making the view change, and saving the file as “new.c4d” in Cinema’s root directory. (you can customize many defaults that way)

Fascinating…
That pretty much does the trick. Its odd though that you can go One Level up… But there doesn’t seem to be any option to go One Level Down again.
How would you go back to Object level (if you so choose)?
Thanks for the info

It looks like you right-click on a track name in the Timeline and choose Set as Root

track name/object name…
