Maybe it's old news but open your copy of Cinema 4d XL7 (might be in other versions today) and you'll get a little surprise.

Happy Christmas Everyone

Yep. Unfortunately this bit someone on the ass last year when he left a long, time-critical animation rendering over the holidays, only to find out that it had been interrupted by the X-mas gift from the programmers. :surprised

Hi Adam,
sorry but i don't believe the story he told. The gimmik will only show in a new and therefore empty scene. It works exactly in the way the file new.c4d works when it is saved in the CINEMA directory. No way it can get included in a scene without seeing it all the time while setting things up and it is impossible that it gets introduced in an already existing scene.

Regards

I haven't tried it myself, but it doesn't sound that way to me:

Yeah, Bob is a story in itself ;)
Please try to recreate the problem. You will not be able to get the gimmik in any existing scene. Only newly created.
My best bet is that the story was Bobs christmas present to himself.

Ehh.... you can open other files while rendering... sounds like a made up story to me.

(Long live Maxon! :)
