Sure here you go. 14168_test2.c4d.zip

If you switch on and off the shader, you’ll see what I mean

[Darren Lee]

Actually that didn’t help at all. If anyone has a solution for this, let me know

[Darren Lee]

In case anyone stumbles upon the same problem, you can get round this by putting all 3 shaders in a Group Effector, then dragging that onto the cloners effector instead

[Darren Lee]

Sure thing, thanks

[Darren Lee]

on a sidenote: If I have 20,000 of these clones all clumped together, and I want to turn that clump into 1 polygon object (with no intersections) what’s the best way of doing that?

I’ve tried mograph cache bake.. and a connect object, but it doesn’t seem to work properly, some of the instance objects are missing

[Darren Lee]

Of course, that’s a very simple solution. Thanks

[Darren Lee]

Fantastic, thanks Sam, that works:

[Darren Lee]

Yes I found Element much better too, I just couldn’t believe C4D didn’t do it. I shall stick to importing it via E3D .

Thanks for your help

[Darren Lee]

Thanks for confirming.

Is there a way of importing the movement of a 3D null object in AE (rotation, position) into C4D? And have the C4D objects simulate that?

[Darren Lee]

Brilliant, thanks!
