Here’s a wireframe

Hi,

I’m building a car body as a learning exercise. Without materials applied it looks fine. To check the surface and reflections I applied a material. I fully expected that there would be a need for tweaks but was shocked at how terrible it looks.

I aligned all the normals but it clearly wasn’t that. There’s something I’ve missed or don’t know… or…

Hi,

I’ve been trying to install a material pack I bought from The Pixel Lab.

In their install video (for R25) they say the pack should show up in the ‘Converted’ folder in the asset browser once installed.

The problem is there is no Converted folder in my asset browser. I tried creating a new category with that name but that didn’t work.

How can I…

If you’re interested… I contacted Maxon support. They recommended I open the preferences folder and delete the Maxon C4D R25 user folder, which I did.

I’ll have to re-establish all my prefs etc, but the problem is now definitely resolved.

Thanks

Here’s something else weird I just discovered.

If I go into 4 view mode I can upload separate images into separate views. I can then hover my cursor over a view and maximise it and it retains its bg image. I can then go back to 4 view mode and hover over a different view and maximise that and still see the correct image.

If I stay in maximised mode…

Ok, well thanks for looking at it anyway.

Also still getting any image I upload displaying in all views.

I don’t see any images at all in this file.

Hey Andy,

Not sure what you mean here. I didn’t load any images into the perspective view. Feels like this is an answer to someone else’s question that somehow ended up in my thread.

If there’s an image in the perspective view then it’s part of the same problem. I only uploaded images to the front view and the left view.

Thanks man.

Sean.

Hey Andy,

In response to your questions…

Yes, I’ve used that panel to upload my images.

I’ve tried a new fresh scene too. Right now this problem occurs in every new scene I set up.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

Here’s a zip of my scene and the two images I’m trying to use.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi,

I’m having trouble with back images in different viewports in C4D.

I’m doing a tut on hard surface modelling and I have an image which contains two separate elevations of the object. In the Tut the image is simply shifted in the second viewport to the correct position.

When I shift it… it shifts in the original view port too. I tried…

Is there a hotkey to flip to the opposite viewport in C4D?

Say I’m building a car model and I’m in the front viewport… is the a quick way to flip to the back viewport?

Thanks.
