Ah, yeah, you're right .. that setting applies in this case. Bummer - I thought this was just for “new” keyframes, but apparently it blasts over and ignores the key type for keyframes that -already- exist. Thank you,

R21. Weird. I thought my profile had that info. Sorry. I'll go fix that now.

If I have Autokeying enabled and reposition an object the keyframe (Step in this case) changes back to Spline. Is there an option to prevent this? Thank you,

Annnnnd nevermind. I never even thought to check if there were settings for the tool. I found the (unchecked) Select Boundary Loop which, now that I enabled it, selects the edge loop my eyeballs have been starting at.

What determines how C4D chooses a loop selection? For instance, right now I have a hole in my mesh that I'd like to get the edge loop of to then convert to a spline and the edge loop selection tool refuses to select the "by-my-human-eyeballs-very-obvious" hole boundary, choosing instead to select some hole edges, and choosing interior edges for the rest. At first I thought that perhaps some points weren't welded and I Optimized and Connected just to make sure, confirming with point selections that returned 1 point selected for random checks, but no improvement. Any suggestions? Thanks, Marc

Yeah, I totally understand it's like walking into a video store back in the day and just saying, “I'm looking for a movie...” I'm terrible with face recall, which is complicated by the fact that I was primarily listening here and there to the video play in the background while I worked. What I THINK he looked like was young in appearance despite his age, no beard, perhaps sandy, not dark hair. I'd be terrible in a lineup. His theme throughout seemed to be about adaptation. I was most taken by his comment at the end about how one of their employees went on maternity leave early and wanted to keep working while at home and even though this was 5+ years ago, they set her up so she could remote in. Made a remark about how workplaces are becoming fluid and flexible - that at one point over a weekend he saw a render going on the server and saw that the user was the woman who - now home with her baby - was working around the schedule of her newborn, still productive but without traditional "M-F, 9-5" hours (I know, not representative of said industry, but just trying to make a point..) It's not important ... just thought I'd put it out there on a lark. As for Cinefex, ah I can still see my first issue with the Apollo 13 capsule on the front. Heat shield re-entry flames? Blowtorch on a chunk of metal in the shape of the model. Classic.

I've googled to no avail and thought perhaps someone here might know what I'm looking for - A few months ago I watched a YT video of a vfx chap talking about a variety of related topics, starting with how he and his friends got into visual effects back in the 90s, all the way up to remote virtual post production. I wanted to share it now with a colleague and cannot get back to the video for the life of me. -Presenter, now around 45+ years old, goofed with computers in high school with a friend -Jurassic Park came out and, like many, said “this is what we want to do.” -Shared a picture of him possibly still in high school getting a chance to meet (/work?) with Lucas in some third-floor capacity at the Ranch -Now is head of a fairly large visual effects company I know, it's not a lot to go on. In this day and age I find I rely on “remembering” via Google, so the names of both this presenter AND the company he started slip my mind. I don't think it's David Dozoretz or Chris Edwards or The Third Floor as far as I can tell... Any ideas? Google just kept showing me links and pictures of George Lucas. Thanks, Marc Chep ps - bummer I can't lazily use typing 'c4dcafe' to get here any more ... some gambling site grabbed it up

I have a 30fps scene that some of the objects I'd like to have animate at random lower frame rates ... some at 12fps, some at 13fps, some at 16fps, etc., and even some at the full 30fps. I don't have Cineversity, so CV-StopMotion doesn't work for me, and I read that CS_VibrateNull2 from Chris Smith might work, but the links to sugarfilmproduction.com in old posts no longer seem to work. How can I achieve this? What would be the Xpresso equivalent of After Effect's posterizeTime(value) expression? Thanks, Marc
