I'm looking for an artist to rig and animate some realistic-looking flapping loops. Thanks! DM me with relevant work samples and your rate. : )

Thanks for the reply, that's right however I was looking for an easier more automatic solution.

I've been using Cinema 4D off and on for years. Recently I've let my subscription lapse and I'm considering signing up again. But with the advent and explosion of AI I'm beginning to wonder about whether Cinema 4D is still a viable tool or not. My uses of Cinema 4D have largely been focused on using Mixamo figures and some modeling. Please let me know your opinion of the viability of Cinema 4D today with the advent of AI. Thank you!

No reason you couldn't make this work with a material blender and a combination of state, ramp and curvature nodes. You'd have to do it on a per-object basis (so not as slick as the one in Unreal) but it is doable.

Thanks Hrvoje! I cannot believe that I did all this stuff nearly 20 years ago… I sometimes wonder if I should be re-vamping it considering there is so much kids orientated CGI out there, but I am finding it quite rewarding making it look much more up to date. I might even dabble with AI on it - or is that a dirty word? Still trying to figure out how to add a dirt map to the roof…

There are some of us which recall the old version, nice to see you reviving old stuff 🙂

@mahmoud morsy Do you have an example of this in action? Looks like jiggle deformer could be what you are after?

Hi, is it possible to get a material blend between 2 objects like this one in Unreal Engine? https://youtube.com/shorts/8i-Gl4NBVdc?si=PrHAvrMXEGcTxHqv Also is it possible to have a material blend in Y direction on one object?

Thank you Donovan for looking. Ended up going in a little different direction but found I could do all I needed by using a scaling plain effector with a falloff field and then using the rendered result of that as a texture map which then could be manipulated further. Long story short I didn't need it exactly as described but in the end was able to do everything I needed with incredible efficiency. This is what we landed on in the end. Model is of a triangle diatom.

Since I am reworking my old project from so many years ago… I thought I would show peeps here the rework on the tower roof of peg's mansion so that you can compare the old one with the new one - I like to think it is an improvement… Whilst I am at it perhaps someone might tell me how I might add a dirt map to the tiles collectively since each of the roof tiles is an individual tile but cloned which took quite a while to create but looks so much better.

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to recreate a smear effect in Cinema 4D, similar to the traditional animation smear effects seen in Blender or the old CA Motion Stretch Deformer plugin for C4D. I've been experimenting with both Xpresso and Scene Nodes to build this effect cause i know its hard to make it like a deformer with pyhton, However, I haven't been able to get it working — even after trying with ChatGPT and doing lots of tests, it still doesn't work because i dont have all the knowledge. if anyone could help me please. In a similar setup, I'd really appreciate any help — and if it's something time-intensive, I'm open to discussing it as a paid.

That is a heavy scene, try first remeshing the hair than play with cloth or softbody

Okay I've been working on this project forever and im about run out of time. the fantastic four movie came out and I was making an animation of the surfer surfing through space I was wondering someone could help me make this female surfer's hair flow and move with the speed turbulence of the animated movement (direction of surf), I want it to either look like its trailing behind like a comet or flames or just the polgon shifting itself. Let me know if the can get fixed. Right now I tried getting the hairline to stay conjoined to the head so that itll stay attached but the cloth-like hair will trail behind but what it did instead was leave the hair behind entirley and start stretching the hairline all the way throughout the animatioin without stopping. ill link the file. I use Cinema 4D R18. I know it's old so some things might not transfer over. Untitled 2.c4d

@MJV - I attempted to make this work by creating two versions w/ different offset amounts and using the Morph deformer to blend via field strength. Unfortunately because the gaps are created by booleans, even very slight differences in offset strength result in different point counts/orders; which means a morph won't work. I also attempted to generate a varying voronoi pattern based on the Voronoi Noise and piping the rendered result through a Vectorizer - which didn't give me much. All this to say... I wish you the best of luck, this is a stumper.

Working on one of the scenes from my story and updating it from the old version. I think it is an improvement but I am wondering if it looks a little bit to creepy/sinister? Love to know what others think… Broom Room HB v01.mp4

Hey. Haven't posted here for awhile but hope everyone is doing ok under our new AI overlords and oligarchical corruption regimes. Despite the world being a complete mess at the moment I do find myself suddenly needing to figure out a way to control the offset of voronoi fragments in this model I'm working on . I am using R20 and it seems not possible but maybe later versions can do it with fields or forces or texture map?

I've experience this before. Last night, I cached the rigid bodies and that didn't even help. I think this is a bug and since we have the new rigid bodies, I don't think they will ever address this issue. The problem is that in a lot of cases, the new rigid body collisions don't work as well as the Bullet rigid bodies.

Done; thank you for the clarification.

Thanks but only getting perspetive, but able to do safe frames and get rid of world axis

Why is it when you put a collider tag on your scalp hair still seems to smash through it? This is another of my old characters that I am testing out so ignore the hand going through the floor, just trying out hair in C4D 🙂 Minkey Boy Breakdance HB v03.mp4
