I am relatively new to Cinema 4D, but I have been looking into it's features and have decided to give it a go.
This is a picture of the supposed finished project I am wating a tutorial for. I have come to a point in the tutorial where I am supposed to add a new mat to a plane with a gradient and it's supposed to be flat (as opposed to uvw maping) But no matter what I try, i can't seem to get the mat to apply.
I click and drag it onto the plane and it changes color slightly, but otherwise appears not to be applied as it looks nothing like the tutorial.
Am I missing something obvious? I have searched google for the past hour and can't seem to find an answer, anyhelp would be great...
Also, I'm running on windows 7 ulitmate 64 bit and am running Cinema 4D R16 if it helps

Your projection is set to UVW and what you're trying to do apply it from a side view.
I've seen that tutorial myself but can't remember what exactly he does, except for the fact that this kind of texturing is arbitrarily projected.
For that reason, I suggest you change your texture projection to CUBE or something similar. If you still can't get a good result, check your texture.

Also since this texture is height-based change the texture face to V.
I would suggest a FLAT projection.

Thanks, though I am not quite clear on what you mean by texture face

tried your suggestions but got the same results, imm starting to think the mats aren't even really doing anything

Well at this point they probably aren't doing anything either. If you followed the tutorial you should have seen results. Try going back a few steps and see if you get it right a second time.
After all, this tutorial is very basic when it comes to texturing and modelling.

It's the direction of the texture, in this case the direction of your gradient. V means "up and down" by default.

Thanks again, I made a save right before applying any mat, tried about a million different things, even going as far as changing the mat color in an attempt to see if ANYTHING was working, and the answer was a big N-O
