Trying to Color Your Clones With an Image? Don't Forget This Step
You can use an image to color your MoGraph clones, but there's one crucial step that's easy to forget. Nick Campbell walks through the problem in this quick tip and shows exactly what you need to do to get the effect working the right way.
Ever try to use an image to color your MoGraph clones in Cinema 4D, only to find that it doesn't quite work the way you expect? The trick is simple: you need to use a Standard Cinema 4D material.
Here's the basic setup:
- Create a Standard Cinema 4D material.
- Add your image to the material's Color channel.
- Add the material to your Shader Field.
- Use the material tag to control the image's projection.
From there, you can adjust the projection, scale, and rotation to position the image exactly where you want it on your clones.
It's a simple step, but an easy one to forget. Watch the quick tip above for the full walkthrough, and hopefully, the next time you're trying to color your clones with an image, you won't have to remember this one the hard way.
