In this document we explore various known issues related to Ornatrix C4D and solutions to them.

 

Cannot see hair and guides in viewports 

 

Problem 

Hair and guides are not visible inside the viewport but can be rendered. Adding Mesh from Strands modifier also does not fix the problem.

 

Cause 

Splines are filtered out in Cinema 4D viewport display

 

Solution 

1. Open Attribute Manager (Main menu->Window->Attribute Manager)
2. Select Mode->View Settings
3. Select Filter
4. Enable Spline option

 

Mirrored Strands do not align with an animated 3D model. 

 

Problem 

Hair strands generated by the Symmetry_Modifier do not align with an animated 3D model, even if the strands are grounded using the 'Ground Mirrored Strands' option or using the Ground_Strands modifier.

 

Cause 

This is expected behavior. When using Symmetry_Modifier the result will always be symmetrical. Ground strands will merely generate surface dependencies for baking.

 

Solution 

Bake the symmetry modifier.
