  • CINEMA 4D Simulation Tags stop working!

    Posted by Peter Piekarczyk on January 31, 2012 at 7:34 pm

    Hi everyone, I was working on a tutorial where I have a bunch of spheres in a gumball machine and the dynamic tags worked at one point and now I’m not sure if I clicked something or not but no matter how many times I press play or re-add the tags, the spheres do not drop anymore! There is 0 animation.

    Thanks!

    Did you turn off Dynamics in your project settings?

    Nope. Dynamics is enabled. It just stopped working. I tried opening a new project and the same thing happens – nothing.

    What version of C4D? Does it render with dynamics if you render to the Picture Viewer?

    R 13. It just creates one frame.

    has Gravity been set to 0 in Project Settings/Dynamics?… No that shouldn’t be it, you said you tried to open a new file…

    I tried playing around with that too. Nothing seems to be working. Are there certain settings I could have accidently clicked through keyboard shortcuts? Something I may have skipped?

    Is it possible that I’m not using the studio edition that makes this mess up for me? Thanks

    Broadcast has Dynamics limited to mograph objects (like 11.5 they have to be at least the child of a Fracture object if not of a cloner) otherwise you need Studio to get all the functionality.

    Comparison of the versions is here https://www.maxon.net/en/products/general-information/general-information/product-comparison.html
