Hi,
I know there are a few Cinema 4d users out there so this one is aimed at them:

I'm trying to bake the illumination of a model in Cinema 4d but when I look at the resulting texture it seems as if it's rendered every triangle seperately with weird angular lighting as a result?

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

If necessary I can post a screenshot.

Thanks!

did you create a uv-map previously? what are you using? bake object? or ar u using a bake-tag

I've uv mapped the object and have been using the bake object option.

There should be an option for "pixel border" set it to the lowest possible. Also check "Keep UVs" "Illuminate" and "Single texture". Hope that works.

strange. maybe you show what it looks like, because using a simple test object it works here

did another quick test (med shot):

Here is a shot showing the problem:



As you can see it's as if the UV map is showing through somehow??

Thanks!

hm, your shot isnt showing up here (seems imageshack is currently down). however if you think the uv is showing thru its nearly 100% its an issue with what Rich said. use for example 8Pixel for the overlaying pixelborder. this should do the trick

Well here is another attempt at getting the image to work:


In the image I put the pixel border to 1 as Rich said which as you can hopefully see did not result in the desired effect. I also tried using an 8 pixel border now the actual lines of the uv but the shading is still the same, with each triangle being lit seperately...

and the mesh has been optimized before? maybe you can send me the .c4d and i can have alook here. (webmaster at earthcontrol punkt de)

Which version of C4d is this? I ask because I had this problem when I first bought the program (R10), but it was fixed by updating it (to R10.111). Check to see if there are updates available for your version. Good luck.
