On my Mac the “Make Preview” file is saved in the same path as other renders: Render Settings > Save > File…

Perhaps you could upload your project file (or a simplified version showing the shadow issue if your project is large), because I don’t see the same issue on my system. Shadows seem to work fine on hair. I’m using R19 and R20.

Hi David,
Glad to help. I am aware of the Cmd+Tab on Mac bringing up the application switcher, which is why it is odd that the Customize Commands list shows it as that, when Cntrl+Tab is what actually works. For some reason C4D doesn’t recognize the Control key when setting shortcuts (perhaps it has to do with PC keyboards), but will recognize it in use. As far as using a single key shortcut is concerned, it’s just a matter of finding one that isn’t used for something else. For example, I was able to change the Full-Screen mode to the backslash key /.
Take care.

You are very welcome. Glad it helped.

The Points Renderer has no variation setting for the point size. However, you could create a shape layer (circle, for example), precompose it, animate its size over the duration of its comp, and select it under the “Textured Sprite” window. Turn off the sprite comp’s visibility in the main comp, set the Sprite Controls > Time Sampling to “Random Still,” and you will have randomly sized circles instead of the standard points. The “Points Size” setting will still have an effect, so adjust it to your preferences. Be aware that this technique does cause a major slow-down in ram previewing and rendering.

Hi David,
If you’re talking about the Maximize command as found in the Customize Palettes/Commands window, I can concur that it doesn’t work as you desire in either R19 or R20, either by adding the icon to a layout, or a keyboard shortcut for it. In fact, I can’t see that it does anything. However, as the Help describes (search for “maximize”), with the cursor over the desired window, Ctrl/Cmd + Tab will accomplish what I think you want. The Customize Palettes window lists this behavior under “Full-Screen Mode” (and, interestingly enough, only lists Cmd+Tab on my Mac, but works as Ctrl+Tab). If you’re on a PC, I assume that it should work as well.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I forgot to add that the Full-Screen Mode shortcut can be changed to whatever you want (as long as its available).

The tutorial on the aescripts + aeplugins product page, starting at about the 5:00 minute mark, shows how to activate it. Hope this helps.

Controlling visibility will always be an on or off proposition. As far as I know, in order to control opacity you will need to either work with the transparency channel of a material or its alpha channel. This tutorial may help concerning the latter.
