  1. All this talk of MAXON as "The Company" and the standard driver of all capitalist companies is..PROFIT..How many of you are actually professionals using Cinema 4D to well..make profit ? What song do you sing to your clients when you have to raise prices to account for MAXON raising prices in order to make profit ? I am perhaps one of the lucky few who do this purely for the fun of it..I sell the odd tutorial to cover the costs of running the software/electrics and kit oh ok and for the odd spliff. Not having a dig at anyone in particular but MAXON is just doing what the sentient corporate beast does..seeking profit at every opportunity and it's employees are playing their roles using plausible deniability "only doing their jobs"..and good luck to you all..it floats my boat. And I think it is safe to say that many of your clients are..profit making companies. I think there are maybe a lot of pots calling out to a lot of kettles
  2. You can save the data as a vdb and do what ever you do with vdb's
  3. This took maybe 5 mins to simulate and 45 seconds to render just to give you an idea
  4. It can be done relatively easily in TurbulenceFD so I see no reason why not in XP smoke/density. The trick is in the lighting more than anything
  5. Light casting shadows from inside a cube using Escher's art as a transparent material.
  6. Check your project settings match your render settings you should not be rendering to fractional frames. Your timeline should be whole frame numbers.
  7. Why use a camera ? Just print screen and paste to photoshop or the free irfanview then post up your images
  8. Appreciate the candour..IT IS A BUSINESS AND THE NAME OF THE GAME IS TO MAKE PROFIT..I have no issues with that. We can take it or leave it. Cinema 4D is mainly therapy for me..i sit for hours just doodling and it works out a lot cheaper than using a shrink or a bordello. I just cannot get my head around all this MSA stuff and subscription stuff..basically If I can afford it I buy it..end of...err C4D not bordellos..ex Night Taxi driver..I never paid...
  9. Smoke/density is fine with RS but fire is always a problem the time wasted faffing around with the settings would be better of spent rendering using the default renderer and comping into a RS render certainly in the case of TurbulenceFD. I can get gorgeous renders direct from TFD on AR but trying to get anywhere close to that in RS is just not worth the hassle and considering once I do get close I have to increase the render settings to get crisp detail so that the render time difference is not that great and on a render farm just not worth the hassle
  10. Make sure the normals are aligned by selecting all the polys and..well "Align Normal! also look at adding a phong tag if none exist and changing the settings of any that do. Also remove any erroneous OBJ tags
  11. Look... it's very clear and straightforward
  12. Working on an explosion sim since 9 .00 am ( now 15.50) and I am in need of some chill so will risk crashing the sim by playing some sounds !! I used to drink in a wonderful bar called the Cole Pitz in Kilburn North London. It had been an undertakers and was then turned into the definition of a Bohemian pub. It was renamed Power's Bar .Like many in the 90's we would openly skin up and chill to blues, R and B and the like. One day a bloke pulled up outside with a Buick and it was a dream of a car. I demanded that he accepted a drink since seeing his wheels was giving me so much pleasure. He accepted with a laugh..Irish man..lovely bloke but he declined my spliff I offered. Well we had a good session which he was adamant he would pay for and he left. I went to buy my next pint and pay and the barman said " Your drinks are on the house tonight Paul" " Oh.. why ?" " That was the governor he likes you...you were toking right in front of him and he thought that was cool" This man was a big player Vince Power, check him out on Wiki, ..he also owned the Mean Fiddler a famous music venue and was the funds behind many big festivals but he was just a neat Paddy with a cool car when I was drinking with him.
  13. Are there any courses we can go on to understand all this ? Ones with lots of pictures. If so ..I could write a song about it........... A blues number of course
  14. You need to gamma correct it. In fusion which is what I use I used to have to add a Gamut node to correct. Oddly I no longer have to do so.
  15. Perhaps a permissions issue ?Win10 has a particularly annoying permissions setup. For instance I found I was having issues trying to save new.c4d to the program folder and had to save it to desktop then move it to the program dir. Check for permissions on the drive you are trying to save to.
  16. I also notice sometimes a tone..an attitude in that the software is not doing what a user wants and they feel they not only have a right for it to do that but more worryingly they feel they have a right to get a solution from volunteer sites such as this. A bit like when I was a greengrocer in a large supermarket, there were customers who deluded themselves that they were "middle class" and acted as if the supermarket was a given, they paid their taxes and thus acted as if we "workers" should be at their beck and call and more worryingly the shop had a "duty" to provide them exactly what they wanted when they wanted. A lot of their grievance was down to our cheery cockney greengrocer attitude. I would get into work at 10.00 am and not stop singing till 7.00 pm. I was known as the singing green man..the kids loved it as did many of the mums and dads, we used to have a right royal knees up. But there were a few who were jealous. " You should be working not singing and dancing" " Listen mate I AM WORKING..I am humping 30 KG boxes of bananas and dancing the fandango with the ladies while doing so" You could just feel the jealously oozing from them. They saw me as a poor cockney barrow boy without a care in the world being loved by women they could only dream of being able to approach...when in truth life at home was hell and physical work, the company of beautiful women, gorgeous kids and jolly chaps was my release. Barrow boy greengrocer LICENSE TO FLIRT. I have worked at board level with major banks, had dinner with deputy prime ministers, ran my own airline. BUT WAS AS HAPPY IF NOT HAPPIER WORKING WITH TRUE PEERS ON A SHOP FLOOR...It was just like being back working on the fairground .." Roll Up !! Roll Up !!..Win a coconut for the lovely lady mister !! " Oh what was the point I was trying to make ? ah yes..attitude..people who think the world owes them. Oh.. and that reminds me of a song funnily enough ...
  17. What is the point in asking for help and then not replying when people respond to your request ? I think people who do not follow up on posted questions and the answers/advice/request for more info should simply be blocked from posting. It is basically rude..no other word for it ..rude. What we need is an ability to give negative rep points to those who abuse the cafe. I spent many hours fixing someone's file once it was huge and was really tasking my 64 GB RAM but I stuck at it. After many hours of work did I get a single thankyou ?..DID I FU... Though this goes against my concept of Seva. ..Selfless service with no requirement for reward ( the act of Seva is in itself the reward) it would be useful to know who to bother helping or more importantly who not to bother helping. If you want to know more about Seva and how it can empower you PM me. It is a fascinating concept.
  18. For Beltane.... MayDay..The Union of The Goddess and The Green Man. True Love should be unconditional..requiring nothing in return. My mum taught me this....Never abandon those you love else it is not love it is Moh- Attachement. No matter what they do to you, how they mistreat you never abandon them. Be there when they call for you. The greatest fear is the fear that there is no one to turn to.
  19. It's a cafe..In cafes you wish people well on special days such as this... Happy for you to delete the post..I can sit alone in a corner..does not bother me
  20. Because it is Beltane. You are OK with wishing people a Merry Christmas ? A Happy Easter ? Beltane is a special day for the Celtic peoples of these Isles and in fact most of Europe. It is a special day. The union of The Green Man and The Goddess. A time of much celebration and a time to wish goodwill.
  21. We are Roma..We Are Free..We And The Land Are One
  22. Fine Time Fine Place..Albion in May
