Really noob issue her, probably, i started using c4d a few hours a go, and i tried to solve this searching but i couldn’t find a solution… anyway, i tried to create this goldish material, and apparently it looks ok, but when a try to render the reflections desapear…
maybe there is nothing to reflect in the scene? throw in the physical sky object for example and see if sth. appears in reflection
What you are seeing in your editor preview is a depiction of your specular falloff, which is a sort of fake of the reflection of light. My guess is, either as stated before, you have nothing in your scene for the reflection of that material to reflect, or you only have specular enabled in your reflectance channel… or possibly both.
Loads and loads of free and easy to access tutorials on the subject. Just do a search for C4D Reflectance, and you’ll get put right.
Cheers!
i have been learning c4d for 4 days, today learning about reflectance , when selecting modes like beckman and other options , the material editor’s ball show half of the reflectance material but not full the material ,is it normal or it has any fix??
