I always use your solution to not having disconnected nodes (underground^^)

@niuq-cam : very impressive work !


What is the problem with disconnected nodes ?
Do you mean that you put models under the ground mesh to hide them without loosing materials ? I used this method in the past, but the best solution imho is to save all important models as macros. It allows to delete them and reload at will.

I am not sure, but disconnected nodes seem to be counted in System RAM, but not on GPU VRAM.

Hello Roubal ! I only connect always all the nodes by affecting one poly (a rectangle) to a material underground.
So i never have disconnected nodes. (550 nodes on my project)
The inconvenient with this method is that Octane always load all the textures.
When rendering my movie, scene by scene, i will delete all the materials unusued ans all the polys hidden.

Thank you attusind, bicket and refracty my friend.
Special dedicace to atome You see^^

Now, i have to tweak a little more the sequence 1 et 2. (carshaders and dusty atmosphere)

Excellent !


In fact, Roubal, the problem is to keep the liaison between the nodes, if we forget or hide a material in c4d and export, the liaison will be lost and kept lost at the next export with the material.

Can't wait to see this animated. Are you still using Cinema 11.5?

I have the same workflow for 3DS max, I use Craft Director Studio, but I keep having to back to Max 2012 even though the bulk of my work is done in 2013, for some reason Autodesk no longer bundles CDS with Max anymore

??? Since October 2012, CDS supports Autodesk's 2013 Windows versions of 3ds Max, Maya and Softimage.
