Exploring the Cinema4D Attribute Manager

Here’s a new tutorial for all you Cinema4D users out there.  Hopefully some tips and tricks that will help improve your workflow.

Attribute Manager Project

The humble Attribute Manager is one element of the C4D user interface that we use constantly and it has many features that may or may not be known to you.  In this tutorial I attempt to cover as many of them that I can remember.  I improvised when recording this, so please excuse any fumbling or mistakes (I’m not so good with my alphabet!).

I’m sure a lot of the stuff I mention you will know already but I’m guessing that there will be at least one or two new tips hidden amongst these.  I do not go through all the features of the AM, there is after all so much you can do there.  However I think it would be a great idea if you add your own AM tips into the comments then everyone who visits this page can glean some extra knowledge along the way.

  6. Tim Says:

    @sahbak Create a document with all the settings you would like to use as default (fps, resolution, etc), then save this in the same directory as your C4D application and name the document new.c4d All the new documents will use the settings from this file.

    Thanks for another great tutorial Tim. The “show sub channels” tip at the end is going to make animating gradients *much* easier.
