I am idiot. Local scale instead of global scale to get it to stay in place.

Ok. I figured that out. I just have to adjust the z scale. The next step is getting it to stay in place. Haha.

Sorry for the wasted post.

Thanks.

Matt,

Thanks for the help. The problem is even when I am in draft mode I lose control in the effects control window.

I think I may have figured out that the issue is when I switch to a comp camera then swith back. When I take the AE camera away, the camera in the effects control window gets deselected.

I know it sounds like it doesn’t make sense but I am still wrapping my head around the camera and using it with Invig so I have been adding and deleting cameras to play around and get scenes set up.

Sorry for the confusion. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks again Brian. I couldn’t get the link to work but just the names of the modules I can use are great.

This is probably a dumb question but here goes ? What does “GI” stand for ?

Also, in general how do they get the whole “world” to be lit like that without falling into complete darkness ?

I defintely see what you are saying about the reflection maps and the shadows. I am more confused on the general overall lighting.

Thanks for the response Brian. I ove this program. It is just so deep it can seem dauting at times.

Thanks guys. I will try it at work Monday Brian. I was trying to use the Functions/connect but I didn’t make the splines editable.

Thanks as well Adam. I wish I had Mograph. I have the base package. Just Cinema 4d with no modules. Since I have to learn the basics of the program I couldn’t get the other modules right away. If we get a project that I can use a module I could probably get it put into the budget of the spot. I am still actually using 9.6 too.

Thanks again. I for some reason I can’t get it to work on Monday I will be back.

Ok. I am an idiot, It took me about an hour but i finally figured out that I had the Axes Scale at 1% and couldn’t see it. Can you tell I haven’t used this program much ?

[Chris Holland]

I also wanted to add that I checked the shadow box on the lights and am not seeing the shadows in the test renders and all but the stage are set to Standard Color.
