Old textures

[leoA4D]

I have a number of material textures dating back to 2000 that look great in pre-render. When rendered, a Texture Error dialog box pops up. Is there anyway to restore old textures?

 

MAC OSX.3.7, C4D 9.012

I dont know how is it on MAC platform but in Win Cinema is working with tiff formats (and maybe also with jpeg) through Quicktime....so there might be problem with instalation of your Quicktime...try to reinstall and maybe it will help

just open all those textures in photoshop and resave them out as jpg's

Could it be a file path problem? Possibly referencing the tex directory of an older installation of C4D?

Thanks all.

 

Just a followup: Strat's suggestion worked for old tif material files. The .cd4 files still have a problem. The material, opened in the Material Manager, takes to the object. Start the render and the Texture Error dialog pops up with "Tile04tif (Tile 04)" in the text field. How does one fix a .c4d file?

if you are working on windows you need extension to files to make them recognized by the file system. it happens when you take a project from a macOS based platform.

Thanks Durandal. I'm on a MAC. I have a feeling that the .c4d files, from 2000, are just too old to work with R9. The tifs from the same file look recoverable, judging from the few I've run through PS.
