The difference between the systems becomes particularly clear if you only activate the "X" symbol. Suppose you are scaling a box that is skewed in the world coordinate system. If you now select the world coordinate system for scaling, the cuboid grows parallel to the x-axis of the world coordinate system and is thus distorted (Figure 7). On the other hand, if you select the object coordinate system of the cuboid (Figure 8), the cuboid expands along its own X-axis.

MaxonCINEMA 4D has an automatic light control. If you haven't defined a light source yet, MaxonCINEMA 4D calculates the scene with a default light source that is in the same place as the "Perspective" camera. This allows you to immediately view and assess objects in good lighting during the design phase. However, as soon as you create one or more normal light sources, the automatic light control is inactive unless you have deactivated it anyway in the editor settings.

If you use materials that are transparent or have a transparency texture - possibly with refraction - then this transparency will only be displayed if you have also activated the "Transparency" option. Since the raytracer also has to calculate transparent rays, the calculation time for the image increases. Objects that are not completely closed, such as a hemisphere or a single triangle, can lead to anomalies in the image. This comes from the way the ray tracer calculates transparency and refraction. Once a ray encounters a surface with transparency and refraction, the ray will be attenuated and deflected as it passes through the surface. The beam is now in the object and continues to run until it hits another surface of the object — this time on the exit side. There it is deflected again, just as one would expect from a refracting object, for example a glass ball (Figure 27).

For example, if you use an open hemisphere, the ray will enter the hemisphere, but it may never hit a second surface (Figure 28). The ray tracer then assumes that the ray is still inside the hemisphere even though it is long outside. So don't worry about unexpected refraction effects when using open objects, and resize the objects to be closed. For example, you can give an open hemisphere a second wall (Figure 29).
