geometry based shader OR geometry retracer? reconstruct an object out of berries
Hello!
I have a mesh that I made that I would like to populate with berries ( a cartoon human form) ~ I would basically like to replace the mesh with an approximation of the mesh reconstructed out of berries, as if you had the body sculpted out of a pile of fruit
What is the best way to achieve something like this in c4d in a quick and dirty way? I am okay with if there are strange artifacts etc if this means a less neurotic mesh re-interpretation process- I’m wondering if the approach would be to use a volumetric geometry based shader of a berry, a shader with a displacement map, or using some other functionality of c4d to reconstruct the body mesh out of clones of the berry mesh

You can tell the cloner to use a mesh as a surface to clone onto. Just drop you cloned object into it, then set it to object mode. Adjust “distribution”, “Volume Mode” and “Count” as you see fit.

Thank you so much for this~ is there a way to do it to control the distribution so that the berries are randomly sized/rotated etc?

There is, you’ll find your answer if you research the Mograph effectors.
