Thanks so much, that’s exactly it!

[Simon Scott]

No, I didn’t buy it but that doesn’t really matter 😉
As I said I want that effect to create and don’t know why, that’s why I asked 🙂
I want to have that effect and change the numbers to my likings etc.

[Simon Scott]

Yes, I need help in creating that “background prerendered video” by myself. So those floating numbers around a circle. I wrote the author and he said it was made with Trapcode – so I guess there is no other way?

[Simon Scott]

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don’t get it yet. Are you talking about the background effect of numbers around the circle?

[Simon Scott]

Yeah, it’s like that in my AFX version too. But I guess some other option has to be enabled or whatever so it isn’t greyed out. Otherwise it would have been removed completely?
But even if that transparency wouldn’t be greyed out – would it actually achieve a transparent front where you see an image behind?

[Simon Scott]

Basically any texture on top of individual 3d layers (with Cinema4D render). How can I achieve this when track matte layers are disabled?
I have several 3d shape layers, extruded. And need them to either have a texture on them, or best scenario would be to have the boxes like “glass boxes” (transparent etc) but I assume that isn’t possible inside AFX (only C4D directly), right?

Currently it seems I can only have solid boxed (one color, maybe more or less reflective with some hdr)

[Simon Scott]

So, you were able to add a “material” (and change that look) in an older version?

[Simon Scott]

Thanks Hector for the detailed points.
Unfortunately that’s too “complicated” to achieve since I have around 100 individual layers that would be adjusted like that..

My option to do it with a mask doesn’t work either I just found out since in “Cinema4D” Render there are no more track mattes..

Is there no effect that you can load with a texture or something?

[Simon Scott]

Thanks for the replies.
Apparently EXR was the problem. We now tried TIF instead (premultiplied Alpha), and it seems to look good now on the big screen.

[Simon Scott]

Well, it’s the same problem with “internal” text within AFX (just type a text in Trajan Pro e.g.).
Maybe the problem is EXR. Trying TIFs.
