Hey friends!

In the dusk of 2022, I bring you the first case study that I did with the new C4d. I intended to do a Houdini grain/snow tutorial as xmas bonus but unfortunately I am sick for the last 3 weeks. It was hard to switch gears again as lately I am on top of c4d to catch up with all the updates. But, I hear you, more Houdini content will come soon-ish.

I wish everyone happy holidays and a happy new year!
With love, creativity, curiosity, less stress, more fun, less work, more money :)
With the right mindset and proper life balance all above are possible.

Get some well deserved rest, recharge your batteries cause a lot of hot stuff coming! I have some very exciting news and I will announce when things are in place. Or in motion! We are motion designers after all, who needs things in place!!

Cu on the dark side!

I encountered this - try adjusting the spacing in your cloner object.

My crashes were due to the random effector's noise parameter not turned down to 0%. C4D would freeze and crash. In case anyone else has the same issue!

this was an amazing video! learned soooo much! One issue i had with the mospline is that if u try to blend between spline shapes the cloner unfortunately can't do it. I've sent maxon a support ticket because i thought this should work

Hey, very late to the party ! Your approach is incredible. Learn a lot. Please, if you can, make a tutorial on how to shade and light this scene based on the case study. I tried several times, and there is no way I could get the same esthetics results.

Hi Thanos, this is an excellent tutorial! Everything works fine for me up to the point you add the Vertex Map tag. I have the latest version of Cinema 4D but for some reason the tag won't apply to the Connect Object. I even applied the tag to an editable cube in a separate project, copied it into this project, and dragged the tag onto the Connect Object and it just doesn't work. No red highlight or anything. I watched through that section several times and can't figure out why it won't apply. Any ideas?

thanks bud. Mmm i think its a viewport bug if nothing works on VM all of a sudden. First thing first u should apply the procedural vertex map. There are 2 maps now. U need the new one. If u ensure about it then its all about restarting c4d, test a new scene etc. It happened to me as well at some point.

I'll try your solution! I had another animator test it out and it worked for him and I realized you're using C4d 2023 and I'm using R26... I didn't even realize there's a difference. So I downloaded C4D 2023 and going to try that next. Thanks for the reply. :-)

oh yea haha this exists 2023 onwards, hence the series title. Glad u figured it out!

Do you find this has bugs with the MoSpline / Extrude when the step effector is enabled?

Heya, no if i remember correctly the only bugs i encountered are with remesh and viewport refresh. Same as with extrude caps + viewport refresh. Be sure ur extrude is set to proper direction and it should be ok.

Figured it out after some trial and error, if the Geometry Axis Capsule isn't present, the whole rig cant be crossing the origin and it breaks the spline mask / extrude. Just another C4D gotcha ;)

Hi Thanos, thank you for the lessons, i learned a lot in these past few months, i am currently working on Cinema 4D R21 which does not have this cloth options, would you recommend buying R25 (does it have the same cloth tools as in version 2023?) or just go with the montly subscription to get version 2023? Does Cinema 4D version 2023 have some benefits like extended 3D models library that is not available in R25?

Hey bud, thanks a lot! Cloth started s26 and its full potential shows in latest 2023. So i would say dont buy any perpetual version does not worth it. But do monthly subscription to 2023 :) and yes it has a lot more things to asset browser

Great, thanks, i just though that i can use the perpetual license on my other PC and maybe speed up renders on some projects. Generally smart move from maxon, giving the best and latest version to subscribers. I guess the annual version comes cheapest, maxon + redshift

Hi, with the random spline enabled in noise mode, the cloth animation is not triggered, if I change to another mode it does happen. Does anyone have this issue?

Great tut - I got a lot from this. Thank you!

https://gyazo.com/2cc3af3869751b3b7c3690d9fe6555b1 Im having problem with the step effector. It creates a kind of extrusion that is buggy. Any idea why ?

motionpunk
>>98530725

Mm no idea. This remesh is a bit finicky. But i didnt have issues with extrusion. Maybe try to change from extrude "auto" to whatever axis u are pointing.

Hey man. This is a really good one but other than that totally random question. Whats your keyboard? Love how it sounds in my ears haha

haha I use a corsair k70 low profile :) I might get a keychron though i just discovered this brand that also has low profile keys!

motionpunk

Others mention the same. There must be some user error in the orientation of the cloth as here there is no problem. Please download project files
