Nice tips! I’m trying to get into C4D! You were right about that clock…..I fooled around with it for a while by making another hand that was completely transparent, and putting them on the same timeline. Unfortunately, when I would change things, the scales would go CRAZY!

Thanks John for this tutorial. I was trying out some lightboxes to lighten up my sphere, but I couldn’t find out how to render it while still seeing the reflection of the lightboxes but without seeing the actual lightboxes themselves in the render. Now I can…. thanks a lot!
