Fix Noise Loop: Cinema 4D Redshift

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 01:29:45 +0200

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

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

Check Loop Period

Ensure that the FPS in both Project Settings (Ctrl + D) and Render Settings (Ctrl + B) match
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.

The Phong Tag can sometimes create strange artifacts or defects, especially noticeable when using Extrude with caps.

To fix shading issues, switch the Phong Tag from Uniform to Angle and Area Weighted or Square Area Weighted.
