Bit late to this, but found the solution. Thank you @Hrvoje for the suggestion. I did end up contacting Maxon and they basically replied saying that couldn't help with any Octane related issues. The way I finally fixed this was by disabling the "Use ACES Color Space" checkbox in the Octane settings, and instead loading in the OCIO config manually through the color management settings. Basically going back to how ACES worked in Octane before they added that checkbox. Will check if anything has been mentioned on the Otoy forum and submit a bug report if not.

Not sure if I accidentally changed something but this button (only this one 🤔) has stopped working. I even installed a completely new version of C4D and paired it with the newest version of Octane but the issue persists. Any help is greatly appreciated! 2024-10-25 16-46-12.mp4

Hi everyone, Hoping to get some help on this roadblock I'm running into. I was wondering if there is a way to access clone IDs from a cloner object in order to use them in vertex maps. The formula modifier layer is operating with IDs of the individual vertices on my sphere. The formula object itself uses object IDs which is exactly what I need, and I'm able to color specific clones different colors based on their ID but unsure if there's any way to transfer that information to a vertex map. Should I be using a formula modifier layer at all? The Formula field is also operating on vertex IDs instead of Cloner IDs. Perhaps I am going about this in a completely wrong way so I'd appreciate some help. P.S I am aware I could manually place a spherical field over a specific clone but I'd like to see if it's possible to get it working this way. Many thanks, Blaz vertex_map_question.c4d

@bezoNice! Curious how you got to that result? Was is something like Cerbera described, with doing cubic unwrap and manually stitching the parts together?

Alright, not a big deal! Really appreciate your help 🙂

@Cerbera Yes, I understand my example is not proportionally correct. Just wanted to get my point across to explain it visually. Appreciate you showcasing different ways to solve this. The solution in your screenshot is nice and clean however I imagine you might get some distortion if you wanted to map something like a text along the edge. As you'd have to prepare the image with curved text when it's in reality not curved in that direction. I was able to get what I'm looking for in blender with the same cuts I tried in C4D. Blender returned me a distorted UV island for the rim part however it was easily fixed using the "follow active quads" command. I understand having it as a singular piece is not the most efficient and splitting atleast in half would make more sense however at this point I'm curious. If you're unfamiliar I'm attaching a timestamped video showcasing this feature. Does C4D offer something similar?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to unwrap a simple credit-card-like object but I can't seem to get the UVs quite right. In the attachments I'm leaving some resources to better explain what I'm trying to achieve. The reason why I want to unwrap it this way is so that if any repeating image texture needs to follow around the edge it would only have one visible seam. Box projection worked fine and for most cases would be good enough (only issue being that it obviously split my edge into 4 separate UV islands) however I'm interested to see if it's possible to do it like I'm imagining it. Thanks in advance! Blaz Cuts.mp4 Card_Unwrap.c4d

Thank you @Smolak, this worked like a charm. Really appreciate it!

Hi everyone, does anyone know if the little arrow buttons on the side of the edit-fields can change color? Ideally I would like for them to match the color of the actual text field (the option I am changing in the attached video). I've been able to change color on just about every part of the UI except this. Many thanks! Blaz aaf52f630b3b08224584045a0243118f.mp4

Thanks guys! I figured it would be something simple, just couldn't quite get there on my own. Appreciate your help.

Hi everyone, As I'm still quite new to C4D there are some things I haven't quite figured out yet so apologies if this question has an obvious answer. I am curious to find out if there is a simple way to limit something like "fill selection" with an edge selection. Please see attached video for a visual explanation. I achieved this in C4D, by making the edge selection, disconnecting the edges and then selecting my polygons. Afterwards I assigned these polygons to a selection tag and optimized the mesh so that the edges were no longer disconnected. This worked however I feel there must be a better way to do this. Please let me know if you need any more information or context. Cheers! - Blaz 05e682b871b47f4317a669cbdeac08b2.mp4
