When animating the smoke trail with the rocket, we are having issues when playing it back. The rocket animates fine, however when we turn on the smoke trail, everything turns to wireframe view, and we cannot get it to play back in the normal view.

Hi Btrombley82,

Patrick explains the “why” it might happen, around minute 15. Please check this part of the tutorial, as he gives tips to overcome the problem in a given range.

This is an automatic behaviour. If the amount of data in the viewport exceed the power of the hardware, it switches to a lower “mode” to allow for a presentation of the content even animated.

There are several tips in the Help-Manual, too many to be honest to list them here.

Please have a look:

Manual >> Reference > CINEMA 4D > CINEMA 4D Prime

All the best
