I was playing with the Cinema 4D command line options and ran into a problem that might not be specific to the command line options.
I saved a basic scene(a textured cube) in two formats: the original .c4d(binary) format and .xml(via File > Export > Cinema 4D XML).
The .c4d file renders with the texture applied, while the .xml file renders without the texture applied. I had a look at the xml file, and there is a node that holds a reference to the image used as texture, and there is another node which seems to store the pixels in xml.
When I opened the .xml document in Cinema 4D, the document did store the material with the texture, but it was not applied to the object.
Am I missing something when I export to XML ?
How can I export a Cinema 4D XML that can render with the texture applied ?
