Thanks!

I have seen this tip a few times...

In Light Tag, activate "use primitives" parameter and use AI lights in kernel

What is "use primitives"? I cant find it in the documentation. By the way, Cinema's docs are at 2019.1. Is there a more up to date version somewhere?

thanks

So far so good with R2. Thanks

[/quote]Maybe about osx version and resolution. Try with different desktop resolution for test[/quote]

osx version is 10.13.6. It does work fine at full pixel resolution of 5120x2880. All other resolutions have the strange screen redraw.

Wish I could work at 5k. Talk about screen real estate ...

Finally got it! I was having troubles at first because I had my texture tag (pre bake) set to flat. It was easier to get a top to bottom blending I was after. I was hoping I could bake the flat projection onto my UV map. That didn't work of course. Anyway, with a bit of re-arranging of my UV islands ...

I need to give that another try. My UVs have seams where I dont want them and I can't seem to find away around that. Is it possible to bake a 3D noise texture onto a less then perfect UV map in a seamless way? That would be awesome but I wasn't successful the first time I tried. Haven't done much ...

If I use a C4D noise shader in my Octane material its converted to a bitmap and thus 2d while in a standard material the noise exists in a 3d volume. Thus no seams or distorting due to mapping type.

If I use octane noise with uv mapping but give cubic coordinates in texture tag, still produces ...

I cant get that first link to work. Weird.

When using C4D noises and standard renderer and then applying a Stick Texture tag to an object, you can deform the object and the noise texture will stay in place on the surface. Without the tag the noise travels through the object surface when being deformed.

However, the Stick Texture tag has no ...
