but if you really need thickness to the text though an FFD deformer would be better than the Wrap

do you need to have raised text (sort of non-real)? Or would a texture be better?

August 30, 2015 at 8:44 pm in reply to: Newbie Question: Attaching Speaker Rubber Surrounds

way late, I lost this being busy for a while and you’ve probably long ago solved it but FWIW…
Of course in a regular speaker it’s really only the speaker and it’s frame (as well as the rubber surround) that need to be one piece to use a Sound Effector as a deformer (with falloff controlling what moves) – I tried bones but they are hard to control apparently, I was getting results in the viewport but not in render, there may be some reason it’s not working but I couldn’t find it.

9191_speakermotiontrial.c4d.zip have to add your own sound file into the Sound Effector

As to holes, Booles are easy and another way is a script called Points To Circle which is great for making circular holes (or extrusions, particularly if a SubD can be used to smooth things after (getting hard to find but I see a dl here https://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=5433159&amp%3bpostcount=3 and here’s a tutorial about a different way – https://lesterbanks.com/2012/11/creating-a-perfect-circle-for-a-hole-on-a-surface-in-cinema-4d-easily/

one way is two booles – a sphere (slightly smaller) inside a sphere to give thickness then another boole using the cylinder

Boole (A Subtract B)
–Boole (A Subtract B)

August 27, 2015 at 9:16 pm in reply to: Imported Illustrator Text Not Recognizing “Holes” In Letters

the two splines which make up your letters with a hole need to be joined into one spline – the quickest way is to select both splines (the letter and it’s hole) in the object manager and right-click and choose Connect Objects and Delete – that gets rid of the originals and leaves you with one spline which will work. If you want to keep the original splines just choose Connect Objects it leaves the originals and you use the new spline.
Another alternate to keep the originals is to put the letter and hole in a Connect Object and extrude that…

apply the graffiti to the Cloner object the set the mapping to Flat (rather than the default UVW) and use the Length and Offset in the texture tag or the Texture Mode in the Viewport and line it up where you want it

here’s a quick test – not happy with the first twisting but it might be possible to smooth it with the falloff of the twist

I get pretty good results with x-particles skinner
