Sorry, my version is not anywhere I can find it.

Is the timeline frame rate the same as the frame rate of the video?

since the old link is dead…

Hi Tyler, oh wow the new Cow didn’t keep the old files (and I don’t seem to be able to go and edit old posts)… so which file in that thread? I still have most of the files I uploaded I think.

thanks for the follow up

in your example images, it’s hard to see what’s in front of what really… the orange thing (which I assume is the logo) is reflecting the lights up above. You really have to do any reflection ‘searching’ through the camera, if not it’s too easy to miss as it has to be lined up perfectly to be seen.

Or your luminant plane only has the texture on…

That’s a bend deformer, you just move the object through the deformer. Like this

I have this repeating in time by doing Track After/Continue in the Timeline but repetition like in the video would be simplest to just render one cycle and then repeat it in a video editing program.

if you baked the particles as Alembic you could move that

Thanks for that.

I didn’t render with Team Render much and haven’t at all for a while. The still looks like the sort of like the old days with mismatching processors/FPU’s but with matching iMacs (and that mismatch thing doesn’t happen so much anymore – or at all, I haven’t heard it lately)…
Are the iMacs set to the sync to the same time server? Maybe a bad… Read more

you can directly use a gradient in User Data (it’s one of the Data Types) and that can be plugged directly into a gradient in a material

interesting, if I export (the cylinders) to alembic some of the cylinders are out of place in frame 0 but are correct after that. If I export to fbx they are all correct except the sphere (won’t do deforms).
None of that may matter since you are getting different results.

very weird. I don’t have Corona (used the beta – very nice renderer) but renderers shouldn’t do that.
Try turning all your Cloners from Multi-Instance to Instance

Wow, definitely working for me… Plugins maybe?

try rendering, the Interactive Render Region is good for this, what shows in the preview is not always what renders (it’s for great preview speed but a few compromises are made to do that)

Inside the Cel Shader’s settings Uncheck – Camera and Check – Lights

easiest is Right-Click and it’s in the pop-up menu (down near the bottom) assuming you have the polys you want to split selected.
In the menus it’s under Mesh/Clone.
And it’s shortcut is U~P

that’s pretty funky, any two look about like you would expect but add the third and jiggle…
If you put the noise’s Space to UV (2D) you can use all three Shader effectors but it’s a very predictable motion since the three noises are identical (at the moment), if you then change each noise’s seed so it’s unique it looks ok

can you post the C4D file for the demo movie you made?

it’s hard to know without seeing it but physics has hinges etc.

why not animate the Displacer deformer’s noise?

Can’t view it at the moment but I’m guessing inverse the box falloff to do it with one wind

it’s possible with Falloff of the Wind. One wind blows the particles and another wind with a Box falloff that follows the cube (Child) blowing in the opposite direction will do what you are looking for I think.

assuming standard render (or physical I guess)… why do you need two lights? But assuming you do, I don’t think you don’t need a low poly box for the second light that has visible volumetric, just check No Illumination in the Visible Volumetric light – it can still produce visible light without adding light to the SSS (or the rest of the scene)
