January 19, 2020 at 2:53 pm in reply to: C4D Lite/AE Material on Grouped Objects

Hmmm, I can see the problem, but the solution is tricky. You’ve created a material and have set a keyframe in that, but because you’re using the material on each object, they all change together. This is like if you’d used a video in AE repeatedly.

So we to try another way. If you right click on any of the objects you’ll see a tag menu within the cinema4D section there is a compositing tag (I think that’s where it is) if you add that to one of your objects that’s got a keyframe option for visibility. This will turn on and off the object based on the key frame and then obviously you could copy that, onto the other objects. But if you’re wanting an object to be there with a different colour you’re probably going to have to have a duplicate of the whole DNA strand, and make it slightly larger so that it can be in the same space.

I know that there is a bunch of mograph options in C4D light now. Before you didn’t have any mograph and needed the full studio, so I’m not sure but there might be a mograph setting or tag that would do this for you.

Hi Steve,

There’s a few on here for C4D and grayscale gorilla has loads. If I remember correctly, the C4D manual is quite good for starting tutorials, (not much help for you). I’m currently working on a “this is the first time you’ve open C4D” tutorial, which will be part of a series here. If you can wait a couple of weeks…

Have you tried the glass transition or gradient wipe? I think there are options in those effects for this.

Brilliant, thanks, I’ll check them both out.

Thank you Jim,

That’s given me a new term to search for. I find this stuff fascinating, as growing up, lay people talk about CGI as if it was just plugging numbers in, yet most of the time the biggest movies were inventing the technology needed as they went along.

I’d probably use CC Particle World instead of Mr Mercury. You can link it to a 3D Null and have it look like smoke with just a few tweaks.

Haye to self promote, but here’s a tutorial I made showing how to link the null: https://youtu.be/dYYmeBOWXpw

I’d probably use a keyframes mask to follow the shape so that it wipes the image on, assuming to shapes are spinning. If it’s just the diagonal line that shape is hiding then a linear wipe effect would work there too.

If you’re making the shape yourself, then you could use a layer as an alpha matte and parent it to the shape. That way you only have one set of keyframes to animate and the matte will move with your layer.

You can set particles to fade out as the age in the opacity over life controls. You just need to draw a decreasing curve and that should get you your comet tail

I’m not in front my pc at the moment, but I’m fairly certain Particle Playground has the ability to use a mask at a boundary/wall to contain particles. It’s a bit render heavy, but should do what you’re after.

Are you selecting multiple position keyframes or just one at a time?

Roving keyframes are linked to each other, and position themselves on the time to even out value (in your case: position) changes.
