What you can do is to have a big number in voxel just to have a very smooth viewport and when you are about to render it, decrease the voxel to a very small number. You will not be able to see it in the viewport but it will not have an effect on the render time.

Hello Mauricio,
You can find the length of a spline here (check my video).

I got confused on what you said.
But by guessing, you can add inbetween a math node in which you can do calculations and you can also keyframe them.

Hello Mauricio,
Is this what you were looking for?

Hello Tom,
Would the Volume Mesher – Builder work for you?
You can create a cube big enough to cut your object and on the volume builder set that cube as substract.

Hello Don,
I made a simple scene that you can see in the video I uploaded, which should demonstrate a very basic setup on how to achieve what you asked (If I understood correctly from your context.)
Let me know.

Hello Michael,
If you have the ability to upgrade (or already did) to Cinema 4D 2024, then you can use this.
1) In Cinema 4D 2024, Maxon improved the phong tag and added a new feature. If you now select any phong, there is a new option called Style. If you select Square Area Weighted, then 99% of the time your problems gets fixed. (see 1.jpg)
2) If you have an earlier version, the easiest thing to do to fix this issue very fast, is to select your flat surface and right click -> disconnect. For me, its the easiest approach that works most of the times. (Tip: If you want to undo that, you can select all and right click -> optimize).
I hope these helps

The busID:0 is most of the times the GPU and since in M1 the GPU is inside the CPU chip, it should be it. If you want redshift to use both gpu and cpu for rendering you should enable hybrid rendering.
As for the other things you asked.1) Redshift is paid software and there is no free version available.
2) Earlier Redshift versions might not be compatible with M1 gpus.
3) The only free GPU render I know (it exists) for Cinema 4D is Centileo. https://centileo.com/ It is in alpha stage and I don’t know how it works and if it supports M1.
Your 2023 trial version should have redshift that should support your M1, but you need to change your standard render engine to redshift and change all your materials, lighting and cameras into redshift compatible.

Hello Mauricio,
You haven’t provided the most important detail. Which render engine do you use?
1) If you use the standard render engine, then unfortunatelly you can’t use GPU. The standard render engine is a CPU render engine only.
2) If you use the physical render engine then you can’t use GPU as well, for the same reason as the CPU.
3) If you use the redshift render engine, then you should be able to use your gpu cores. Go to Edit->Preferences->Renderer->Redshift and in the Compute Devices you should be able to see your M1 GPU Cores. Now I am not sure if Redshift runs natively on arm processors or if it gets emulated via Rosetta. Also I am not sure if there is a limitation to how many GPU cores the trial version of redshift can utilize.
I assume that you are using the standard render engine from your provided image (which is the worst by the way), so the 1) applies for you.

Hello Michael,
You can use the rope simulation as I demonstrate in my video.
