Pixelation Problem...

gareth1984 · 01-10-2011, 11:07 AM

Having trouble getting rid of the pixelation thats occurring on the floor of this animation (see attached image).
The 3D scene has been created in cinema 4d, rendered out as individual TIFF PSD files, then put together in After effects. Finally being rendered out as a .MOV file.
The floor contains a material with Colour, Luminance and Reflection Channels selected and only pixelates when rendered out of After effects. There is no pixelation visible even up to the point of previewing it in After effects.

Not sure whether it's the material that's causing the problem or the After effects render settings or even the C4D settings??

Can anyone help??

It won't have anything to do with your material. Compression issue I'm assuming? What level of animation does this have? Why not just do it all in C4D?

Just out of curiosity, are you rendering with linear workflow in C4D? I've had trouble with cross-program quality unless the color profiles are converted in between.

Thanks for your response.

Sorry what do you mean by 'level of animation'? Would do it all in Cinema 4D but the scene in the screenshot is only one part of the animation. There are several short animation and video clips which need to be rendered as one movie file.

Yes i believe I am rendering with linear workflow as this is a default setting in Cinema 4D R12.

Hope this helps?

Just rendered again with linear workflow turned on in After Effects. Still same pixelation problem
