Are you rendering with Element 3D or is this a Cinema 4D rendered sequence?

Hello Rick,
The character Thena’s weapon effect exists in 3D space. The concept is built around splines that animate to produce the weapon shapes. Right off the top of my mind, you could recreate the weaponry using splines with volume (sweep nurbs curve).
To simulate the weapon reveal effects, you could easily animate the start and end of the sweep curve. After the animation has been created, you might add a glow on top as a composite to create the shine look.
However, you should be aware that this is accomplished using both a 3D engine (Houdini, Cinema 4D) and a compositing tool (nuke or AE).
Using Ae simply allows you to work in a 2D space, which may be sufficient for your needs. Have fun while designing. I would love to see you end results.

Hello Joe,
The extension of your library should be *.lib4d. You should be able to import it simply in c4D 2023 by selecting the import Legacy library *.lib4d option from the create menu on the asset browser panel.
* = name of your library (eg. textures.lib4d).
See the attached image for reference.

Hi Matt,
You may easily create the 3D object in any 3D application and import it into Element 3D.
Element 3D works extremely well with Cinema 4D, however if you like to use Blender or 3D application to make your 3D object, you can always import an obj file into the E3D.
I generated the shape with Cinema 4D and element, which can then be fed into any particle effects, in this case Particular.
A preview of what I’ve done is provided. I’ve included a movie file for the animation. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Michael,
It’s a styled shockwave effect that can be either a frame by frame animation with a glow or shine effect by Red Giant on top during compositing.
This can be accomplished by layering animated shape objects and then applying the glow or shine effect by Red Giant as a finishing touch. However, the shine plugin, which provides the ray effect, is preferable.
To create the ring wave, animate a circle with an appropriate border width and then add a wave effect on top to achieve the wavy appearance.
Here’s a sneak peek at something I threw together in a hurry. I hope this was helpful!

Hi Glenn,
Honestly, Cinema 4D artists are hard to come by, especially animators (characters), however you could create a job posting on Creative Cow, if feasible share it with the job specifics.
Also, if you need a Cinema 4D artist to work with, I am available. This is my reel.

Hi Joe,
Because of the way your hierarchy is set up, the multi-shader isn’t working. To begin with, the random effector can appear anywhere in your scene except under a generator. Your subdivision surface object should be a child of your spherical mesh, which is being cloned.
If you want to clone one or more objects with subdivisions, they must be a child of null object.
The multi-shader interacts with the cloner effector, therefore putting your cloner under subdivision surface breaks the data supplied to the material shader, for some unknown reason. The multi-shader shades the objects based on their unique IDs generated by the cloner effector.
I’ve attached a scene preview of how the hierarchy should look in order for your subdivision to operate.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Nataliya,
I’ve provided a scene file with a procedural workflow for you to review. To create the petals, I’m using an extruded curve, a cloner, the volume mesher, and the mesh builder. Each petal is bent using the bend deformer.
Please see the scene file attached. Cheers!

Hi Tad,
This is a known issue, although I haven’t come across it yet. I would recommend that you relocate your media files and close PR. Relocating them to the edit folder and restarting PR should work.
Moving the files back and forth appears to resolve the problem.

Hi Dave,
If you have your Image viewer set to be bridge and also have your browser set to “always open files of this type” after download, then I guess bridge will open every time you download a new image.
You might want to check your browser download settings.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
