-The object tag plug-in lets you adjust aspects of how Cinema 4D objects will be drawn by the renderer. Click one of the topics below for details.+The object tag plug-in lets you adjust aspects of how Cinema 4D objects will be drawn by the renderer.  
 + 
 +Although the default options on the main rendering screen of Lasershow Converter 4D will create good results for most scenes, occasionally you may want greater control over the rendering process. Advanced features are accessed using the Lasershow Converter 4D object tag plug-in. 
 + 
 +Object tag parameters ignore the parameters of the render settings. If parameters from the object tag differ from the post render effect settings, the Lasershow Converter 4D will automatically apply the object tag settings. Otherwise, if so object tag is assigned to one or more object, the render settings from the post render effect will be taken. 
 + 
 +All parameters are animateable unless they are indicated with a small cross. When the Animate button is activated, these parameters are displayed red, animated parameters are indicated with a red point.
