Keyframed C4D Shader like the FallOf gradient are not updated during animation, instead the initial status of the shader is rendered across the whole animation.

Yeah, animations are a big omission of the current IR. We’ll need to look at it 
Oh, Im not talking about the IR.
Just normal rendering 
Oh… In that case sorry for confusion. This is strange, C4D should handle this for us.
yes, it is handled in the view-port correctly, but when rendering an animation, only the initial state is used for the whole animation and not updated per frame.
I didn’t mean C4D will handle it for us in the viewport. What I meant is that C4D actually prepares the objects and materials for the renderer to render each frame. So either this preparation in C4D is wrong or we are doing something wrong
Oh, sorry. I didn’t want to confuse you.
I know what you are talking about.
Would be cool I you could solve it, as long as it depends not on C4D
