The tests I have done so far have not reached that point, but one of my assets has 340 plastic chair in an array, with 1 “real” one and the rest instances.
Previously, navagating the scene took forever, (Old quad core running XP), tested this with Xref, there was a noticable speed increase, plus, the ability to ensable visibility with one click was an added bonus.
My imagination is reaching overload with ideas of Xref usage.

Thanks for all your help.

Thank you so very much Adam & Brian, this is what I was hoping for.
While R12 does have Xref, my Googling indicates that it was included from R13 onwards, so hopefully, the 12 Xref works the same way.

Now to search for turorials.

Ahh, thank you, increasing the poly count and sub polygon displacement work perfectly.
Now I just have to experiment to find the best parameters.

Regards, Alex.

Thank you Brian, played with the lighting settings, disabling the ambient illumination helped.
It also helped with the other problem you mentioned, light spill with thin single poly walls.

I was using that format (1 unit = 1 mt) in the previous modeller, and was making just as many errors, when trying to model in the cm range.
It’s more a matter of old age catching up, and not paying attention.
Just with I had found Cinema 4d earlier.

Yes, that was it, thank you.
Changed them to World co-ordinates.

Unfortunately found another problem, which was mine and nothing to do with C4d, been using 1000 cm per metre instead of 100, now I’ve got to re-scale, sigh.

Thanks, fast response.
Will get the pro version,
Pity, I would have like to try it first, oh well.

Thanks a heap, first video on greyscalegorilla gave me more in the first 5 minutes, than all the YouTube searching that I have been doing over the last 4 days.

Now I can get started in earnest, now if there was only a way to export from Moray to Cinema, I’d be happy, but can’t be done, too many differences.
