Hey Stefan, sounds like we have the exact same problem and no I have no found a (good) solution. I was hoping the most recent AFX update would solve it, but it did not. Like I said, if I make the “main” After Effects window smaller (I’ve found if it only takes up about 70 percent of the width of the 4k monitor) the RAM previews seem to play back in real-time. So, my workaround was to make the main After Effects window this size, and then to dock some of my most-used panels outside the main window (see attachment), this way I’m at least not wasting as much screen real estate. I’m pretty sure that the timeline window is the main culprit (this is the only panel that really needs to be shrunk down) but I’m not positive about that.
If you said that shrinking down After Effects doesn’t work for you (which I’m surprised by) then this workaround probably won’t help you, but maybe it will help someone else. This is such a strange bug to me, hopefully it will get fixed soon. It really killed the excitement of getting a 4k monitor. I’m surprised way more people aren’t having this problem since 4k has become fairly common, especially among people who used programs like After Effects.
Good luck, definitely update this thread if anything is figured out.

Hey Dave, thanks for the response. But just to be clear. I’m only working on a 1080p project so even at full-resolution the previews will at most be 1080p (I’d even be cool if they worked at half-resolution). The issue has nothing to do with the size of the preview themselves, it is related to the size of the After Effects software (user interface). If I have After Effects open full-screen on the 4K monitor the RAM previews will not play in real time now matter what size or resolution they are. If I shrink After Effects down so it’s only taking up a smaller portion of the 4K screen, or if I move After Effects onto my secondary 1080p monitor, the same exact RAM previews play fine.

Thanks for the response. I found someone with Rhino 5 and the model looked exactly the same as it did in Cinema 4D. They also mentioned it might be a nurb/poly thing. Anyway, thanks for everyone’s help!

So it looked just as messed up as in the screenshots I posted? Thanks again for trying.

Damn it. Thanks for trying and let me know if you have any other ideas.

Great, thanks again.

Hey Adam, I got the Rhino (.3dm) file from the client. Hopefully you can open this and do something with it. There is also an OBJ file inside this zip. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I’m going to speak to the client and I’ll let you know how that goes. Thanks again and talk to you soon!

Hey. I’m 90 percent sure these original models were created in Rhino and converted to OBJ. Any suggestions I could give the client that would result in better OBJs? Or if I could get the original Rhino file and send it to you, is there something that you could do to get me better OBJs? If it’s a lot of work we could work out compensation. Thanks again

Thanks for the response, I’m going to see if they can send anything else but I’m not optimistic.
