Yeah that’s what I did and it worked so I’m all set up. Thanks again.

Yes it worked 🙂 thank you. I think I would prefer it switch between Gouraud shading and lines rather than Gouraud shading (lines) and lines. This makes sense because if I’m modelling c4d already changes to points/edges/polys visible and editable. im sorry for your trouble. If you could please do what you did for me but with Gouraud shading only and when I use the hotkey it switches to lines. one last thing of you don’t mind. I would like to make a toggle between gouraud shading and gouraud shading with lines. Could you possible give me a script that can do that so I can apply a hotkey to it please. I can therefore hide and show the wireframe over the model quickly. Thanks again . I hope this all makes sense. So 2 scripts if you don’t mind and have time. Edit - I’m actually figuring out for myself.

Thanks but I mean I want to be able to for example be in shading mode ‘Gouraud shading with lines’ and when I use the shortcut shift+z, it switches to just ‘lines’ (wireframe). Like a quick toggle basically. Then to go back to shading with lines I just push shift+z again.

HI, I was hoping someone could please help me. I use r21 and I’ve come back to it after using blender for a while. In blender I had custom hot keys. One of which was shift+X to toggle between shaded and wireframe (lines in cinema). I was wondering if there was a way to do this in c4d. It really helps for when I’m modelling etc. it is like an on and off switch. I’m not talking about toggling the wireframe on a shaded mesh I’m talking about a toggle between line mode and shaded mode when I’m modelling. appreciate your help.

I can't thank you enough. It worked. 2 seconds cached vdb from the frame I wanted. Thanks again :-)

I’m new to x-particles so I don’t really know what you mean, sorry. I did manage to get 1 frame out but the cache took as much memory and it took the same amount of time it took to cache all 48 frames. I want to be able to speed up the process and save memory too if it can be done. I create stills, not animation hence only needing one frame of the sim exported as a vdb. I’ve tried signing into insydiums forum but my confirmation email is not arriving for some reason so I have login details but can’t log in to enquire in there.

Hi Guys, I was hoping someone could let me in on a little knowledge. I have an xpexplosia sim and due to me using a laptop my memory is eaten when trying to cache the sim as a vdb so I can render it with redshift in cinema. I actually only want 1 frame of the sim. Is there a way to cache only 1 frame? eg- I want the frame at 48 when I have looked in the viewport. I have tried to set start frame at 47 and end at 48. Ive set the efx format to vdb and everything else is set to default except I created a folder on my desktop for the cache to save to. I appreciate your feedback. Edit - Ps hi, this is my first post but I come here because I learn from the discussions here :-)
