I tried that. I added a photo The arrow shows the jellyfish and I marked the spline path. It is "jelly 2" in the objects viewport. The other two I scaled up but lost the animation. I believe I scaled the lathe. I am unsure at this point because i think my brain is fried haha. Thanks

Hello, Im pretty new at animation, i imported an fbx from Daz to c4d and got it up and running, then i did a separate tutorial to animate a jellyfish. I merged the file into the scene but I need to scale up the jellyfish since its really small compared to the Daz model. i tried all different ways to use the scale tool but it seems to be not working.. i am imagining there is another way to scale up one animation imported into a scene without the scale tool. I am currently facing recreating the whole jellyfish larger, but i was hoping to avoid having to redo it. let me know if anyone has an answer Thanks in advance!

Ok thank you both for the feedback! I appreciate it.

Hi , I just renewed my educational license S22. When I installed S22, it recommended a nvidia driver update (442.00). When I went to Nividia site, there are a lot of different versions. Is it optimal to just upload the most recent version 44.2 (in this case 442.74) or to just go with the most recent and anything after 442 is optimal. I use Octane and sometimes it is really sensitive to which driver. What is the general rule of thumb with updating various softwares and plugins? I feel I'm missing the fundamental knowledge of this stuff. Thanks!

Hello, I use octane and c4d. I have been searching high and low on the web and reading forums but I am still unclear as to how I could achieve a shader like this: https://www.shutterstock.com/es/image-illustration/differential-growth-abstract-holographic-liquid-shape-1507672328?src=5ZGd1B74YwRvlRgQQcXkKw-1-67 I did see this tutorial : https://youtu.be/hrjB1RkXsko THe idea is close but I cant get it in lighter pastels colors, or a mother of pearl like the picture. Can anyone help with specifics? thanks

I want to copy here MAXON's response in case anyone else is having this issue. It worked for me (with a few tweaks to these instructions). From MAXON: "Have you tried deleting your preferences? It's a great troubleshooting method in C4D and can fix a lot of random issues that may occur. Because, your C4D preferences may get corrupt over time due to anything from crashes, forced shut downs, OS updates, etc... You can delete your preferences by going to: Edit > Preferences in Cinema 4D When the preferences window pops up, click the "Open Preference Folder" button on the bottom left. Once open, quit out of Cinema 4D (this is a very important step as this process will not work if the application is running). Next, delete all the folders in the preference folder (READ BOLD PRINT BELOW BEFORE YOU DELETE). Finally, move up one level in the folder hierarchy to the MAXON folder delete all PRF files with _20_ in its name (If you are using R21 you would look for _21_, R22 _22_ and so on). Now. When you re-open Cinema 4D it will create all new preferences and hopefully get you past the issues you are experiencing." If you have plugins installed here you can leave the plugin folder. If you have custom layouts set up you can find them in in this path C:\Users\*USER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20_********\library\layout Make sure to save the .l4d and .prf files in this folder so you can put back once the preferences reset. If you have custom content created you can find them in in this path C:\Users\*USER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20_********\library\browser Like the layout just make sure to save your .lib4d files in this folder to put back once the preferences reset

THank you ! I put a ticket with MAXON!

Well I tried to switch back to model mode in the video, because I noticed it automatically switched to points each time. I hardly use splines enough to remember, but I had thought i used it in model mode always before. it struck me as odd and i wondered if that was perhaps a cause. is there a setting for that somewhere that i could check into to for that specifically. I treid restarting the computer, but i certainly will try again! for this, i only had a single spline so far. i was just starting a tutorial and couldnt get past step one.

Hello, each time you see it disappear I am clicking the mouse. I cant access the bezier handles. Please let me know if you notice something or i have a setting that is wrong. I appreciate it. bandicam 2019-10-12 17-38-37-917.mp4

hello, yes I am using 20.059

Hello, I am wondering if anyone is having/has had problems with the pen tool when drawing splines? Each time I press the mouse the whole spline dissappears so I can't see where I am drawing or access the two bars to make curves. HAs anyone ever had this happen? Does anyone know a work around? it's driving me crazy. THanks

Thank you, I will check it out! :)

yes the picture you show is exactly what i want to do. but i guess i dont know what to look for in the obj to see if it is possible. i attached my WIP, i used some free models from around and if you see the building on the left edge, it has a balcony with a window shape. i would love to figure out a way to light those windows but i dont know if that is possible, or let's say how to make the right choice before hand with a better building for this purpose. any tips or referrals to tuts would be great. thanks!!

Hello, i want to learn how to make building lights at night. I have been trying to search for tutorials on this. I was able to find one using a texture and projections. it worked great, but it seemed to work on a building without windows already on it. If I am using an OBJ of a building with windows already on it, is there a way to get the size/shape of those windows lit? a technique for making your own map? I know this is probably a really basic question, but I have a large gap in this sort of knowledge and need direction to any tutorials about it. Thanks in advance!!
