  Connecting animated mograph cloners and static polys

  Posted by Sam Aldridge on April 13, 2015 at 3:06 pm

  hey guys,

  I am currently working on a project that requires me to export different animated elements within a single mesh.

  Being my usual self i like to make things more complicated than they necessarily need to be and decided to use mograph.

  Now i understand that if i wanted to, say, animate the points of a mesh using PLA i could. But if i try to connect two meshes with keyframes the animation is deleted.

  I know that i can bake the animations of my mograph animation but then presumably when i need to connect the animated section to the static section to create a single mesh all the keyframes will be lost?

  Is there any way around this problem? or is it just not possible within c4d?

  Project file (pre baked animation) –

  8720_connectinganimationandstatic.c4d.zip

  Thanks, Sam

  maybe xsPolyInstance (not free) here https://www.xsyann.com, haven’t used it myself but it’s the only thing I know of that might do it – there’s a tutorial here https://www.holgerbiebrach.com/?p=1084
