Fix Noise Loop: Cinema 4D Redshift

When you create a Redshift material with Maxon Noise, sometimes the loop doesn’t work. Here are two steps to solve the problem.

Disable Time Behavior

  1. Go to Render Settings (Ctrl+B)
  2. Switch to Advanced mode
  3. Go to Redshift → System → Legacy and disable Time Behavior

Check Loop Period

  1. Ensure that the FPS in both Project Settings (Ctrl + D) and Render Settings (Ctrl + B) match
  2. The Loop Period for the noise is calculated in seconds. So it should equal the total number of frames divided by the FPS. For example, if your timeline has 60 frames and your FPS is 30, the Loop Period should be 2 seconds.

After these adjustments, your noise should loop correctly.

Bonus tip: Since the first and last frames are identical in a loop, you can render one frame less to avoid repeating the same frame and achieve a smoother transition.
