Two questions! How do I fade a shadow in C4D and why is it only rendering 166 frames out of 200??
-
Density is in the Shadow tab of the light object and it will fade your shadow if you keyframe it to 0
-
Im not sure what Im doing wrong. I have density set at 100% and Im adding a keyframe, then moving it forward a few frames and putting the density to 0% and again setting a keyframe. When I check in render view the shadow is gone from the whole thing. Am I doing this correctly?
-
have to see the scene, it works with all shadow types, transparency etc…
-
Does this help at all?
-
not much, it’s an area light with a soft shadow and here I can keyframe that successfully. What happens if you turn the other lights off and just do the one?
-
I only have the shadow turned on on that one light so the other lights shouldn’t affect it? Im using version 11.5 if that makes any difference? I dont get why its not working :/
-
neither do I… I’ve tested with 10.5, 12 and 13 (I don’t have 11) and it works with all can you post the scene file?

Based on the screen shot you posted you don’t have any keyframes on the density parameter. If you did then the circle to the left of the word “Density” would be red.
You may know this already, but you can keyframe any parameter by Ctrl-clicking on that little circle. If the circle is filled red then there’s a KF at the current frame. If it’s outlined red it means that there’s an animation track for that parameter but no KF at the current frame.
Another way to fade the shadow would be to render a separate shadow pass and fade it in post. In that case you’d also have to render a blend pass without the shadows.
