    Ok heres the problem.. I have c4d, have had it for a week or 2 only just starting to figure it out.

    im trying to make nice effect c4d but i have a problem when viewing the creation. it keeps it is perspective viewing (which is normally wanted), but i want to be able to view it in like a fish eye sort of edge bulge manner in a tutorial i have downloaded the effect c4d they have has it in this view.

    anyone know if that makes any sense.. or doesnt let me know. i had one too many smokes during my break ;)

    Thanks DRM

    C4D is not my Forte but are you sure you got all your settings set correctly? Things like that can inhibit C4D from cooperating.

    In the top right corner of your viewing window, you should see this:

    [​IMG]


    Right clicking that and dragging it does one thing, and left clicking it and dragging does another.

    To make it so that the edges of the viewing window are larger and the middle is smaller, an effect I do a lot (kinda the opposite of a fish eye), I right-click, and drag to the left; then left click and drag to the right. Try a few different ways, the opposite of what I stated will probably give you something along the lines of a fish-eye bulge (where the edges are closer together and smaller than the middle).

    Hope that helps and I hope I'm remembering what I do correctly ;)
