Cineversity

Hi Guys,

im fairly new to Cinema4d, so prob something stupid im not aware of.
But in this instance i have a sphere with a displacer deformer on it in a group. If i rotate the group it stretches the displacement over the sphere during the animation, Ugly!!!. If i rotate the sphere itself , all goes well. I need them to be in a group. I tried it with a contraint to the group, that works fine too. So all goes well as long as the rotate input is in the channels of the sphere itself.
The displacer has a regular/procedural noise texture on it , with space set to texture. The type is set to intensity(centered) and direction is vertex normal.  It looks like its not updating normal direction during rotation.

Anyone understands what i mean and knows what im missing. Because i dont like the workaround. And i quess this should be possible to do quite easy.

thanks Geurt

Hi Geurt,

Please contact the Support. I deleted my previous message here. (It works fine, until the sphere is placed under a null, and rotated by that null.)
There is no direct way to work around it, it needs to be fixed in the app. The Constrain is a great idea, but it should work without, as I tested it on previous versions.
It is an refresh problem, and in on set up, while refreshed on the last frame, it destroyed the first. A render test showed, that this is not updated during rendering.

It becomes even more evident while Refresh>Backface Cull is enabled.

Sorry for your trouble, and that is not how it should work.

All the best

Hi Geurt,

You mastered it well, explored it, and discussed it.

It is really a tricky one. It fooled me first, as I missed the connection to the Null. That is why I normally ask instantly for a scene file.

I hope it will be fixed ASAP, as in earlier versions it has worked, (I tested R17)

Thanks for your efforts.
