Welcome back to another video! I've finally decided to upgrade to C4D 2023 and I thought this would be a perfect time to show how I create custom layouts, what preferences I adjust and my preset render settings.

This video is more of the fiddly, technical side, but I hope it's interesting to watch nonetheless.

Many thanks,
Ross

Hey Ross, I'm having issues setting up the keyboard shortcut to "connect node to output". I went in the command manager find connect to output and assign a keyboard (shift+Q) shortcut but it is not working. Did it work for you? Any suggestions? Cheers!

Hey Aldo, in 2023 you can now press the little ‘S’ icon on each node to solo that node, which basically does the same thing. Unfortunately, they have scrapped the ability to be able to create a shortcut.

Hi Ross! Thanks for this video showing your setup! Another 2023 realated thing (or maybe more of a Redshift thing) is that I can't really use the workflow you show in your previous tutorials with "C4D Vertex Map" and "C4D Shader"-nodes since I can't find them in the new node-editor, have you found a solution to this?

Hi Joacim! Yeah they've removed it from the new node-editor. You can switch back to the old one which should have those nodes, by going to Edit>Preferences> and disabling 'Node Materials for Presets'. Hope this helps! :)

Thanks! That's a bummer though, would be nice to be able to use them in the new beautiful node-editor. I noticed you can actually create a redshift-material with the old node editor without having to change the settings for all.

Hi Ross, Would it be possible for you to link the Rizom bridge in this post? i believe you forgot. Thanks in advance!

Wow! This was very informative man...At the beginning I thought it would be just a normal video showing the tricks I already know but you really tucked some parts I never knew how to do them...Cheers

Thank you, I really appreciate that! So glad to hear you found the video helpful - it may not be the most exciting but creating a good layout with docked icons and shortcuts will improve your workflow and efficiency so much :)

Hi Aldo, I recently found out you can assign a shortcut to the Solo button. Just search for ‘Solo node’ in the Command Manager (Window>Customisation>Command Manager) and assign your shortcut. This will toggle on and off the solo command on a node. Hope this helps! :)

Really great Ross, wonderful to see someone else navigate around and set things up just the way they like it for their own workflow - learnt a lot thanks!

Hey Ross, just signed up, thanks for all the tutorials. Thought i would start with your advice on layout. I seem to have an issue with the customise palette. Saving as default but still does not save the icons. Just in case you had any thoughts. I'm using c4d 2023.1.0 -

Ross do you know why my preview materials are black?
