Take system in C4D is a pile of trash
Is anyone using the take system anymore? I am spending as much time creating things as problem shooting / trying to fix bugs with the system
– Randomly changing camera focal lengths across takes (purely random, no overrides set)
– Changing light colour as an override sometimes changes the master, which should literally be the only thing that should never be able to happen– Recently, any attempt to ‘render marked takes, render all takes, or even add the takes to the render queue cause either long freezes in the software or completely crashes
I have just updated to the latest version, updated drivers everything and the exact same problems are occurring. This is getting to the point of being unusable. Anyone have any fixes for any of these problems?

Hi Josh,
The Take System is very useful for organizing tasks that include options, but I stopped using it even before these malfunctions appeared in the last days, which increased after users updated to 2024 Release, because if you want to modify anything in the structure you built on the Take System (and it may have taken a long time from you) that will be the beginning of hard time, so you must consider all possible changes from the beginning (and this not always possible) to ensure that the system works without problems. I don’t know if the problems started with you after updating to 2024 or after you tried to modify certain override in the Take System, but it is certain that there is something wrong. What is strange is that the most famous training studios ignore the matter. I do not know if they are managing their affairs in some way or facing the same problems and they don’t have solutions. I suggest that you contact Maxon support to confirm. They published an update four days ago that included fixes related to the Take System. I have placed the link below for you to check it.
