It is connecting virtual worlds, using GeForce RTX and NVIDIA RTX GPUs. It renders super fast and supports many major 3d softwares. I found out these top quality 1-2 min tutorials from Outdoor Living3D. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyCoHrO79iIY3tnz2f6yzA/videos They make your journey to Omniverse so much more fun!!

I managed to do the plastic bag with 360 lathed spline, and I animated the spline point to wrap the plasti bag around the metallic ring. https://catchline.fi/toveri/case open draft2.mp4 Now I would love to have extra level of realism in the plastic bag. I have made the displacement using the displacer deformer. 1. How could I have another layer of smaller seams on the bag surface, more like stripes. Now the overall shape is fine. 2. Could I have somehow a wind like turbulence, a small moving force over the plastic bag? I tried to apply cloth force on this but using it requires my object to be changed to "editable" and that takes away the spline point animation! Yours, Pekka

Yes, that´s what I shall do! I study the use of cloth and work my way up from there. Just a quick small question. If I use clothes to do this, what kinda trick I need to do to it to wrap it around the open cylindrical.. Pekkla

Hi everybody! I have a cine and a bit odd 3d work at hands 🙂 See this trash can design.. I shall now model this case. Then I want to put a 3d plastic bag on inside there, I think I shall buy this one: But if animate the trash-bin door to open, and move the plastic bags frame to forward ( out from the case as you see in the image above ) then how shall I animate the weight, dynamics for it? So it lacks a bit behind and move naturalistic, not like metal part? I know how to use dynamics but I have no idea what to do with this.. Some "heavy cloth" preset would be a good starting point, if there are such? Pekka

I just need the basic convert to c4d files. I then do the rest myself. So this is really easy job! Please answer someone, I am in a hurry here. And I pay, this is a job post 🙂

These are Solid Edge ASM/PRT files, they are very light models. Both objects are 1.3 Mb in size. Please contact me if you can do this conversation please. Pekka

Ok, here is the latest one. Still a bit disapintment - pens jump around too "wild" and they look like too hallow and light. How can I make them to bounce more softly, and to make them heavier? I bet it would look more realistic. http://catchline.fi/toveri/slow3_0099.mp4 Pekka

Thanks JED!

Hey, I got it good enough! http://catchline.fi/toveri/3rd-dynamics-sim.mp4 At the and the pens jump off ( grazy! ) but I do not care I have moved this jar away in my movie at that point 🙂 One more vision I have for this: How can I make the pens to spin on their own axis + move a bit in X or Z as they fall down on Y ? What technics do I have to study for this - some soft of "forces" maybe? Pekka

Bigal, you are right! No matter how much I play with bounce and Friction, animate them to 0% I still cannot make them to stop jiggling.. 😕

I need a basic help with my dynamics. See here please my video: http://catchline.fi/toveri/2st-dynamics-sim0001.mp4 I have made the scene dynamics to move a bit slower, here are the settings: Project settings / Dynamics / General Time scale: 30 % - I want this slow-motion feel Gravity 600 cm I lowered the gravity in a hope for a little "bounce" but I do not get them to bounce. So I would love to see them bouncing more. Is this possible? Also I think the movement kinda never stops.. They keep on "jiggling" around. C4d support told me to fix this by altering the Expert values, these: https://help.MAXON.net/r23/en-us/#html/DYNWORLDOBJECT-WORLD_GROUP_EXPERT.html%3FTocPath%3DDynamics|Dynamics|_____3 But I have no idea... Any help would be great!

bEUTIFULL!! Thank you 🙂

Hello! I have a honeycomb cloner object - I am making a grass to meadow. How can I variate cloner objects rotation on Y axix only? I found out some variation for position.. Nut not for rotation. Also how can I make the cloner result to be unique objects, so I can delete / move them individually? Thanks! PEkka Varis

ok thans you guys.

Hi! I have a one geometry, one solid object that i got from customer. See here: Now what are my options if I want to smooth out those round objects that are badly jagged? Pekka

Thank you! Sorry about the wrong section 😕 THe solution you gave me: clone the box onto the spline using object mode Is this the correct tutorial for me here: Pekka

Hi! I need to make a stream of boxes, visualazing a video stream. I have made a single box and used animation tag: align to spline. Here you can see the result, I animate the movement along my spline with position, marked red in the attached image. Now I have problems trying to duplicate this box. I need to have constant stream of these boxes, like "marching ants" effect. If I put a cloner on the box I loose the movement = if I move the position slider marked red in my attachment, I get no more motion to the box. Please help!

I have a Autodesk Revit scene = .rvt file. I need conversion help and I can pay for conversion. I found this: go to export options. click GENERAL, then set export using DWG 2000, click OK and then export again in DWG format. This time when it opens in Cinema4D, ... BINGOOOO. perfect 🙂 So I am wishing to have this .rvt scene file to be converted/exported from Revit to DWG format ( with textures and surfaces ) so I can import it to cinema 4d. Pekka

Thank you for these solutions! I also found that when opening / merging a step file there is a option to create materials based on the display colors of step file. This was the thing I was looking for. This is a great time saver for me!

Wonderful! i SHALL TRY THESE all.

I am trying to make a tablet. This is my sceen / a box with rounded corners and then scaled down in Y to make it flat. How can I assign a 16:9 ratio hdtv image on it? See my attached image please. What ever mapping method I use, I just can´t get it right.. Very stupid question sorry. I come from lightwave 3d, this was a simple thing..

Ok, good to know Cerbera! I have been doing this manually all along day, now I know its worth it 🙂 Pekka

Hello! I got a step file from my customer. When I import it, I get no materials - yet still there are some colors on the model in c4d. See the image. Now there are 2 materials but those are made by me at cinema 4d. The imported step file had really no materials. Still there were different colors on different parts. How can I select for example all the blue polygons at the top? So when I have them selected, I could assign a new corona material on them all at once.. Pekka

OK, thank you! I study this..

I have c4d r21 and after effects c 2019 version 16.1.3 I have followed this tutorial: So I have copied the file C4DImporter.aex to my C:\Program Files\MAXON Cinema 4D R21\Exchange Plugins\aftereffects\Importer\Win\CS_CC But it does not work 😞 If I try to import the aec file, i get nothing in AE. No errors, just nothing comes in. Please help if somebody knows.. Pekka
