Ah, good point. The shadow in the posted example certainly doesn’t make sense if it’s supposed to come from the orange light.

I don’t think it’s possible to get that effect using light alone, but I was able to get sort of close by using a material with camera projection. I placed the camera in the same spot as the light, which I set to shadow only. I gave the camera mapped texture a circular radius by using a circular gradient in the alpha channel.

I would scale the texture UVs up very slightly.

Object buffers take slightly longer, but the difference is minimal.

You can render a separate shadow pass, or you could use the combined render with a object buffer. Not sure what your objection is to the latter. You don’t have to render twice to get an object buffer.

Cloth is a simulation, so as long as the cloth tag is active you can’t move the object independent of the sim.
If you want to move it you’ll have to disable “cloth engine” in the Tag’s “Tag” menu. Then, before you enable it again, click the “Init State”>Set button in the Dresser tab. Then reenable the cloth engine check box and you’ll be good to go.

Best way would probably be to give your most distant object an external compositing tag in Cinema 4D. Then, when you export 3D data to AE and import the AEC file, you’ll get a null (or solid if you choose) at the location of your object.

Sorry, I don’t know what any of that means. 🙂

You can access particle age effects using Pyrocluster.

I know you want to use the native application only, but if you do a lot of particle work you might look into purchasing X-Particles. It’s an excellent system that makes this sort of thing very simple and powerful, and even provides basic liquid simulation.
