I’ve correctly installed RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1, but they’re not showing up in my Extension/Plugin dropdown.

  • The most likely cause is that your C4D is not fully up-to-date. Newer versions of C4D often break older plugins. Update your C4D.
  • Remember, the RKT Field Driver Tag appears in the right-click tags menu, NOT the Extensions dropdown.

Do RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 work with other plugins like X-Particles, Octane, Redshift, Arnold, etc.?

  • Yes! As long as another plugin has parameters that can be animated, RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 should be able to affect them.
  • In regards to various material Node systems, it’s best to drive with: Arnold – Attribute: display_color. Redshift’s Attribute – RSMGColor

What happens if I send a file to someone who doesn’t have RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1?

  • C4D will display a warning that there is a missing plugin, and the RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 objects in the Object Manager will show as question marks. If a scene file is saved on a machine that doesn’t have RKT Field Driver or Field Pack 1, but includes the question marks, once it is returned to a machine that has RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 installed, it will automatically work again (assuming the RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 objects weren’t deleted by the user).
  • A RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 can be baked in the Advanced Tab.

Can I send a file with RKT Field Driver or Field Pack 1 to a render farm?

  • The render farm will require RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1 to be installed. If a third-party farm does not have RKT Field Driver and Field Pack 1, have the vendor contact Rocket Lasso.
  • Bake down RKT Field Driver Tags to ensure correct rendering on a render farm. Bake down Cloners using Field Pack 1 to ensure correct rendering on a render farm.

Why isn’t my viewport Widget Feedback Widget showing up?

  • First, check if under the RKT Field Driver “Advanced” tab you have “Viewport Feedback” activated.
  • Next, is the Object your tag is on hidden? Are the Stop Lights red dots, or a parent’s Stop Lights red dots? If the object is hidden, the feedback is hidden.
  • Is the Object that RKT Field Driver on turned off in the Viewport~Filter settings? For instance. If the Field Driver is driving a Joint, but Joints are hidden in the Viewport, the feedback will be hidden as well.
