You can either do it by connecting the text and rectangle splines and extruding the result, or you by using a boolean. If you have MoGraph you could also use the spline mask object to boolean the splines before extruding.

Very weird.

I’d also give serious thought to upgrading to R11 as rendering speed is much improved.

I suggest that you do a “save as project” and then upload the whole project to the server. That will remove any local texture links which you probably have in your file.
Also, I believe that .png requires Quicktime, so it would have to be installed on both machines.

The easiest way is to use Thinking Particles’ pBlurp node. Check the docs for specific useage.

It’s probably something else if it’s taking that long. You might send a file to Maxon support and see if they can figure it out. IGS can be tricky because there are so many variants, but if the client is using the same export options that shouldn’t be a problem….

As I understand the problems arise because didn’t fpu’s calculate random numbers differently, so you mainly have issues with things like particles and some xpresso setups.

How long did you wait before you determined that C4D was hung? If it was just a few minutes you might want to give it more time. Complex .igs files can take a long time to load.

Yep, I’d say an octo core G5 or Boxx would be the best bet, with a good nVidia consumer-level video card, a bunch of RAM, and a 64 bit OS. Add an Apple 30″ Cinema display and you’re good to go. Can probably add two or three more boxes for net rendering with that budget.

Looks like you may need to increase your “ray trans” limit in render settings. That determines how many layers of transparency the raytracer calculates. If you exceed the limit you get black.
