  • Viewport OpenGL Problem

    Posted by Tom Baumann on February 16, 2011 at 4:00 pm

    Hey Guys!

    I have a serious problem with my Cinema4d viewport. If I choose OpenGL in the preferences my viewport wont behave properly. Anytime I open up another window like an messenger window, my viewport has issues with it. I uploaded an video displaying the problem:

    Upgraded the graphics driver and tried almost every setting in it. When I choose Software mode, Cinema4d has no problems, but it is really slow then.

    I use nvidia gtx260 and cinema4d r11.5 /r12.

    Hope you can help me with it.

    Greetings from germany!

    I guess I found a solution to solve this problem. Check your Nvidia Settings for “threaded optimizing” and activate it: https://image-upload.de/image/JKcZzu/68acf9d903.jpeg

    after this I got no problems anymore.

    I found a quick solution that may fix the issues with ATI Catalyst 12.X and up with OpenGL in Cinema4D (it worked for me in R14 with ATI Mobility HD 7470M & Catalyst 13.1):

    1. Just go to C:Windows
    2. Make a copy of atiogl.xml file
    3. Open atiogl.xml and edit with notepad or other (like DreamWeaver or WordPad).
    4. Scroll down until you find the section named “Cinebench”
    5. Delete all the section of Cinebench (it should be something like this, delete all these):

    <!-- Cinebench -->

    6. Now restart Cinema4D and you can activate OpenGL again in Preferences and make it work.
