Using object buffers to isolate and change text color

Setting up your object buffers in CINEMA 4D is very important for when you need to isolate certain objects in the scene for any reason. In this movie, I'll show you how you can use the object buffers to isolate the cube text so you can change its color. So in our project window here, if you go look under Special Passes, you can see we have our object buffer 1 that we rendered out of CINEMA 4D. Let's double-click this and see what it looks like. You can see that this is basically just a black-and-white matte that just has our cube text on it. So we'll be using this as a matte to cut out the text from our main scene and isolate it so we can just change the color. So let's close this window. So the main two passes that we'll have to deal with are Specular and Diffuse, because this contains most of our color information. These other passes are just overlays that just have reflection and shadow. We really don't need to worry about those. Let's unsolo those. What we're going to need to do…
