How will look animation if motor always run? 🙂

Hi Brandon, Just play with your scene and looks like could be something differently recognized inside xpresso. Looks like Range mapper node maybe behaves differently when loaded from older c4d version... When searching from source of motion and up looks like problem is in rods motion which is driven by camshaft rotation. In xpresso for camshaft are 2 range mappers which behave differently in R19 and R25 (don´t have R22 installed, I was check scene file in R25). While in R19 modulo option doesn´t effect in animation, enabling modulo option for both range mapper nodes solve rods movement and rest linked animations/animated objects. Question is why it´s behave differently in R19 and R22 (R25). Here is short animation...

It´s standard xpresso node/operator (Xpresso/Script/Coffee node) and it´s content (few lines of code) you could see in AM. Could have "C.O.F.F.E.E" name in case user didn´t change the name like in this example named "Lenght String" from presets) Since R20 (if remember correctly) coffee language was completely removed from c4d, so not supported in versions above and need to be replaced with python script nodes (or other nodes if posible)

There´s no many issues with xpresso setups between versions since only minor changes was done. You could check xpresso "visually" and look for "undefined" ports or in worst case xpresso use old coffee code node...

Just check my account on e-portfolio and access without problems. Installers for R18-R20 with serials...

Back in early days R6 to R16 maybe final serials comes first thru standard post letter from local distributor, then by email (which I always print to paper), then arrived e-portfolio with online downloaders and serials...

Yes, the serials in e-portfolio was final serials not temporariliy serials. But even if e-portfolio will be closed, I think there´s always way to get serials for your boughted software thru Maxon support...

...stickers are still in the drawer of my desk with pc... (there was added also animation tutorial dvd for couple of releases)

Thanks for great helper Robert 👍

I think it´s more similar with keyboard shortcut "7" on numeric keyboard. while holding "7", you could adjust pos/rot without affecting children...

Congratulation to release César, very interesting idea...

Hi César, I am very glad to finally see my good friend on our forum. Welcome on core4D...

But you have info about installed "unsupported" version. Are you sure you´ve install correct version of plugin for your c4d version? Also ToolPresets plugin. Looks like you put into the plugin folder multiple versions of plugin. Bu sure you´ve installed in plugin folder just single/correct version of plugin. (or other places where you could have plugins)

Hard to say why not work for you...Maybe Daniel will answer... But if console say about unsupported version, it must know about plugin. Please check again if correct versions installed in plugins folder. First remove everything about Dials in all plugins folders where you place plugin, redownload approprite versions one by one and install again. Can not imagine why not work for you...

For S24 you need download "Dials v14 R23-S24.zip" file not to use R21 version The same message you have also in R21?

When you open Console, nothing here about Dials?

Is your c4d version R21.207? With plugins folder you mean plugins folder from inszallation directory or preference plugins folder? If here or there, in Preferences/Plugins tab add path to plugins folder where you have Dials installed. Check also in Console if there´s some info about Dials... --- Just see your screenshot. Default installation of c4d sometimes (especially for some plugins) have some issues with win restrictions etc., So you could simply create for example somewhere on C or D drive folder named "R21 Plugins", paste Daniel´s plugin into that folder and inside c4d in Preferences/Plugins add path to that folder.... ...also remove all other Dials folder from previous folders to be sure just one plugin installation exist

For R21 did you download version "Dials v14 R21.zip" file and have you latest update of R21?

I saw in in the past, but don´t remember where...But yes, things could look very differently from different angles also in real life 🙂

Something wrong with playback of video (restricted or locked)

Can be used fields? rotation_based_on_moweight.zip

Textura is basically a slimmed down, limited feature, version of regular 3D Coat

Maybe not directly related to c4d or other 3D software, but could be usefull info about upgrade older Camtasia to latest version for a half of price. Maybe someone has older version and want to update... (offer has limited time to 08/06 11:59 PDT) https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia-upgrade.html

I think Cycles4D perpetual licence will remain users which bought it before Fused. But in time when expire Cycles4D maintenance contract can not be updated to newest version other way then switching to Fused. (at least that's how I understood it) Maybe would be very nice think from Insydium give these users some special offer to conversion to Fused since there will not be other way how to update their perpetual Cycles4D licencies.

But there´ s a question maybe for Cycles4D users only. FAQ say about availability of latest version from maintenance date expire, but not sure if is meant "normal" Cycled 4D maintenance contract or (If user also own XP) latest day of maintenance of FUSED... ...yeah, the same question as posted Dave above
