OCT-2022_CUSTOMISING_LAYOUTS

Ross do you know why my preview materials are black?

Eduardo Guzman

Hey Ross, just signed up, thanks for all the tutorials. Thought i would start with your advice on layout. I seem to have an issue with the customise palette. Saving as default but still does not save the icons. Just in case you had any thoughts. I'm using c4d 2023.1.0 -

Thank you David, I'm glad you found it helpful!

Ross Mason

Really great Ross, wonderful to see someone else navigate around and set things up just the way they like it for their own workflow - learnt a lot thanks!

Woop woop! Rizom is a game changer and the bridge makes it so much easier!

Ross Mason

woop finally got the Rizom plugin working... for some reason previous ones never worked!

Hi Aldo, I recently found out you can assign a shortcut to the Solo button. Just search for ‘Solo node’ in the Command Manager (Window>Customisation>Command Manager) and assign your shortcut. This will toggle on and off the solo command on a node. Hope this helps! :)

Ross Mason

Thank you, I really appreciate that! So glad to hear you found the video helpful - it may not be the most exciting but creating a good layout with docked icons and shortcuts will improve your workflow and efficiency so much :)

Ross Mason

Wow! This was very informative man...At the beginning I thought it would be just a normal video showing the tricks I already know but you really tucked some parts I never knew how to do them...Cheers

Hey! Thank you for reminding me. Here's the updated RizomUV bridge: https://www.dropbox.com/t/hGHNpWgCUdNWbBhz All you need to do is drop it into the plugins folder for your version of C4D. If you have any questions just let me know :)

Ross Mason

Hi Ross, Would it be possible for you to link the Rizom bridge in this post? i believe you forgot. Thanks in advance!

How can i get this project

Thanks! That's a bummer though, would be nice to be able to use them in the new beautiful node-editor. I noticed you can actually create a redshift-material with the old node editor without having to change the settings for all.

Joacim Winqvist

Hi Joacim! Yeah they've removed it from the new node-editor. You can switch back to the old one which should have those nodes, by going to Edit>Preferences> and disabling 'Node Materials for Presets'. Hope this helps! :)

Ross Mason

Hi Ross! Thanks for this video showing your setup! Another 2023 realated thing (or maybe more of a Redshift thing) is that I can't really use the workflow you show in your previous tutorials with "C4D Vertex Map" and "C4D Shader"-nodes since I can't find them in the new node-editor, have you found a solution to this?

Joacim Winqvist

i see. thanks

Aldo Filiberto

Hey Aldo, in 2023 you can now press the little ‘S’ icon on each node to solo that node, which basically does the same thing. Unfortunately, they have scrapped the ability to be able to create a shortcut.

Ross Mason

Hey Ross, I'm having issues setting up the keyboard shortcut to "connect node to output". I went in the command manager find connect to output and assign a keyboard (shift+Q) shortcut but it is not working. Did it work for you? Any suggestions? Cheers!
