PixelNinja 66 Posted February 24, 2020 I spent a fair bit of time trying to figure this out today so I figured I'd post a quick tutorial for posterity. The only other guides and info I could find were specific to getting pscale and Cd into C4d for Redshift. Nothing on orientation or other attributes generally. Long story short: - Unless your attribute is explicitly typed (i.e. Vector, Quaternion, Matrix instead of 3flt, 4flt, 9flt) C4d will read it as a float (or "Real") - Orientation is handled by the "Alignment" TP channel, so you need to convert your @orient to a matrix3 before export Hope this saves someone else some time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flcc 84 Posted February 24, 2020 Usefull for me anyway. Yes TP is a bit tricky. For now I just use pscale and age and i get it work, but for sure it'll save me a headache when I want to use an other than float attribute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently had to deal with instancing with orientation though and it took me a fair bit of frustration trying to figure it out. Glad you found it helpful!
