Problems with C4D's isometric output:

OK I've been doing some tests with Sketch and Toon for Cinema 4D R10 and how well it outputs to Illustrator and Flash, checking for the following; Intersect, hiddenline, crease, fold, border, outline.

Here is the base scene file where we have one object intersecting, some creases, some folds. There are 3 materials; 2px thick out line, 1px intersect and fold, 1px dotted for crease. Giving us a standard technical drawing palette.



The following image is a parallel view technique with the camera adjusted to an isometric angle:


As you can see, hidden line and intersect are behaving badly.

The following is a standard parallel shot, Intersect & Outline are not working:


Isometric camera. As you can see, intersect isn't working:


Perspective telephoto, objects miniaturized, iso camera view angle:


And finally Perspective with everything working fine:


So understanding the standard viewport render limitations, I move on to exporting to vectors (invaluable to illustrators and architects), or web animation formats like flash. Exported using export to illustrator and Flash Ex2 render built into C4D:
