In this tutorial I want to show you how you can morph between objects using a Cloner Object, a Rigid Body Tag and an Inheritance Effector to create amazing particle simulations without third-party plugins. It's a great entry level introduction to dynamic simulations for new users and old. And they're fun to make. If you are using S26 you'll find the Rigid Body Tag under the Bullet drop down menu and also the Project settings have changed, the Dynamics Tab name has changed to Bullet. 0:00 Intro 1:57 Setting up the scene 5:23 Creating the dynamic simulation 31:54 Baking/ Caching the simulation 32:36 Creating a new cloner and using the Inheritance Effector 39:04 How to hide clones using the Mograph Selection Tool and a Plain Effector 42:54 A recap of settings and things to consider If you like what you see?

Today, I want to show you my process for building a looping ball machine. There's probably several ways you can build this, this is my way. Once you understand the principle you can apply this method or play around to create your own method, there might be an easier way. These are fun to create, you can make these as complex looking as you like, or keep them minimal. Also, I will also show you my method for working out the rotational values of the ball, it's a lot quicker than setting up Xpresso. 00:00 Intro 02:29 Animating the ball 04:03 Example 1 Calculating the ball rotation 12:36 Example 2 Calculating the ball rotation 15:30 Example 3 Calculating the radius of the ball 19:54 Building the Machine 20:20 Building the bottom half of the machine 34:02 Building the post, arm, support and trims 47:08 Aligning the bottom half of the machine 50:43 Creating the top half of the machine 51:19 Using the Naming Tool 54:00 Aligning the top half 56:04 Adjusting the ball animation 1:00:12 Building the base 1:04:04 Adding more complexity to the animation 1:05:57 Message from my avatar If you like what you see?

In this tutorial I'll be expanding on the last tutorial "How to build a stylized Penrose Triangle in Cinema 4D." In this tutorial I'll be showing you how to animate a sphere along the surfaces on the Penrose Triangle (Impossible Triangle.) And I'll show you how to light and render this in third party render engines Redshift and Octane. Also I will be showing you how to use a Cryptomatte to composite our animation in After Effects. This is a fairly long tutorial and I have broken this up into chapters so it is easy for you to follow along. If you haven't watched the first tutorial in this series then I suggest that you do, because everything in this tutorial is relevant to that. https://youtu.be/_p-XqfIsBdk It has been brought to my attention that the Loop Selection tool is selecting all the edges of the Face geometry. This will happen in earlier versions of Cinema 4D, R23 and prior. It's a pain, but you can delete all the extra points you don't need. It will still work. I'll give you all an update on this in the next tutorial. Any problems give me a shout. This tutorial is inspired by an Houdini tutorial on the channel Node Flow.

In this tutorial I'll be showing you how to make a stylised Impossible Triangle in Cinema 4D. There's a small amount of modelling involved. I'll show you how to use the Weld Tool and how to cut geometry using a spline and the Line Cut Tool. I'll also be covering one of the uses for the MoSpline and how to animate materials using the default UVW mapping in the Texture Tag. It has been brought to my attention that the Loop Selection tool is selecting all the edges of the Face geometry. This will happen in earlier versions of Cinema 4D, R23 and prior.

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to use polygon selection tags to map multiple textures on to a cloner grid array. You'll need some knowledge of the Cloner and Effectors to follow along. I'm currently working on a project for a local packaging company and I needed a quick and easy way to map several images to clones and have control over where I projected my images. I searched high and low for the information, which I couldn't find. There's some great information out there, but nothing that suited my needs. So I had to put my thinking cap on to come up with the solution. I am going to show you my solution, which will involve walking you through the basics of Texture Mapping and Camera Mapping and how I used Polygon Selection Tags to map multiple images to a Cloner Grid Array. I am also going to run through the basics of using the Cloner Fix Texture Mode: Straight, Alternate X and Alternate Y. Finally I am going to show you an easy Xpresso set up so you can drive an editable grid array with the original Cloner Index. 00:00 Intro: Sticking Multiple Images To Clones Using Texture and Camera Mapping With Polygon Selections 02:20 Cloner Fix Texture Mode: Straight 07:11 Cloner Fix Texture Mode: Alternate X 10:12 Cloner Fix Texture Mode: Alternate Y 12:20 Cloner Fix Texture: How to use Alternate X and Y with Cubes 15:21 How To Map Textures To A Cloner Grid Array: The Basics 18:59 How To Map Multiple Textures To A Cloner Grid Array Using Polygon Selections 23:46 How To Map Multiple Textures To A Cloner Grid Array Using Camera Mapping and Polygon Selections 32:22 How To Use Xpresso To Drive The Animation Of A Grid Array Using The Cloner Object Index #Cinema4D #Tutorial #CameraMapping #TextureMapping If you like what you see?

In this video I take an in-depth look at Render Region and share some tips on how to use this tool. Render Region is an extremely useful tool and has many uses. In this in-depth look, I concentrate on adding and removing objects from a scene, without having to render the whole frame or sequence again. There are things to watch out for like, shadows, reflections, refractions and colour bleed and these need to be taken into consideration when selecting your region. I also show you how to render a region in Standard, Physical, Redshift and Octane. Stick to the end and I show you how to smash render times by using Render Region. 00:00 Intro 01:49 Understanding Light and Shadows 03:57 How Light and Shadows Affect Your Selection For Render Region 05:47 Demonstration Of How To Overlay Render Regions: The Right and Wrong Way 09:46 Some More Advice Concerning Render Region 12:22 Standard and Physical: How To Set Up Render Region 17:34 Redshift: How To Set Up Render Region 23:48 Octane: How To Set Up Render Region 28:49 How To Smash Render Times Using Render Region If you like what you see?

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to use the Cloner Blend Mode to blend between geometry, deformers and materials (Redshift/ Octane) using Effectors, to create awesome motion graphics. A basic understanding of the Effectors is required. Any version of Cinema 4D can achieve this technique, however the Effector falloff dialogue differs in versions R19 and prior. I shall point this out during the tutorial. But if you know your effectors, then this shouldn't be a problem. This tutorial is based on a technique I learned back in Cinema 4D R19. This technique was part of a NAB presentation by Zachary Corzine using C4D R19. Much has changed since R19. I delve a bit deeper on how the Cloner Blend Mode works If you like what you see? Like.

I have a fun tutorial today. I'm going to show you the process of making looping geometric shapes and patterns, using the mograph tools and deformers. Requirements to follow along, a basic understanding of the Cloner, Effectors and Fields. This is a great way to combat a creative block, to learn about effectors, fields and blending modes. What I am showing you today is only the tip of the iceberg and there's a myriad of possibilities and combinations you can explore to create something new and exciting! If you are new to Cinema 4D or even if you are an old stalwart like myself, you'll find these are fun to make. It doesn't matter what version of Cinema 4D you are using, you'll get something out of this. However, when using fields you will need versions R20 and beyond, but you can get similar effects by layering effectors in the Cloner Object, you just won't be able to blend them. I tried to keep this tutorial to the point, it's easy to end up down a rabbit hole with this. Any questions, just ask 🙂 00:00 Intro 01:36 Creating the base animation 21:40 Changing Parameters and Using Effectors To Make Some Awesome Variations 25:29 Using Fields to Gain More Control!
