Director Camera
Director does not support multiple cameras. Only one camera is available, named ‘defaultView’. If
there is no camera in your CINEMA 4D scene named ‘defaultView’, a camera is exported automatically
that shows the current view.
Camera Animation
To export a camera animation for playback in Director, in CINEMA 4D change the camera’s name to
‘defaultView’. Since camera objects cannot have animation tracks in Shockwave, the export lter
automatically adds a dummy mesh and makes the camera a child of the dummy mesh if necessary.
Shockwave Player
You can export any number of bones. However, only the nine most inuential bones will be used per
point. The reference position of the bones will determine which bones have the most inuence.
A maximum of eight lights can be used for the current view. Additional lights will be ignored.
Known issues and other limitations
 Spotlights malfunction under Mac OS X 10.2 with the OpenGL renderer.
 According to Macromedia, specularity requires a special OpenGL extension;
however, Macromedia is unaware of any OpenGL driver for PC or Mac that
works with Shockwave’s specularity.
 Textures in the specular channel are incorrectly displayed under Mac OS X.
 Specular highlights are overexposed with the Direct X5 renderer. If available,
use Direct X7 instead.
 Alpha channels are restricted to one texture unit only.
 Transparency textures and transparency colors are not supported by
Shockwave. The export lter’s transparency emulation only takes into account
the grayscale values of transparency textures and transparency colors.
 To display transparency textures and alpha textures correctly in Shockwave
Director, use Lingo to change the render format from the standard setting of
#rgba5551 (1-bit alpha channel) to #rgba8888.
 While CINEMA 4D uses the specularity texture to weight the color and shape
of highlights, in Shockwave the texture denes the color, shape and position of
highlights. In general, avoid exporting specularity textures and instead use the
highlights generated by the graphics hardware. As a rule, Shockwave specularity
doesn’t work when the OpenGL renderer is enabled.
