Hi 

I hope I have picked the correct Tag!

New to C4D and looking for pointers on how to 'wire up' a painted vertex map, on  ground geo for example, that in turn will dictate where the RX Matrix will scatter plant objects.  I'm sure this would be possible and I have looked at tutorials using a random effector with the RX Matrix object.

Cheers, Igor.  I can stop scratching my head now

Hi Guys.

I looked at the advice on what forum to post and I thought this fitted here as it's not quite about authoring a material, but please feel free to move.

I've checked the manual, did a search on here and on Google to help my find an answer to my question.

I'm just familiarising myself with C4D after a ten year break - was using Modo primarily for modelling, and I have a few workflow preferences I am translating into C4D.

I'm already quite familiar with Redshift [in Houdini] and the use of the <UDIM> token in my workflow to render udim textures from Mari/Substance Painter. 

However, what I would like to have is the option to see my model with the udim's applied in the view port - currently I can see that it looks like it is tile '1001'  that is repeated over the whole mesh in the view port view.  Any pointers to what I am missing would be helpful and I can go figure it out.

Uploaded a short screen capture to YouTube to help clarify what I am asking.  I am OK with setting up my udim's for Redshift - it's just cinema's view port I am looking for pointers on.

Thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Recently have come back to C4D with a subscription of R24.  Previous user - starting with C4D v6 then moved to Modo for past ten years or so.  I use Redshift hosted in Houdini and I want to still use RS so thsi seemed a logical move.

I'm a hobbyist but it's a hobby of over twenty years.  Hope to contribute if I can.

Cheers
