Hi there,

Every time I hit render I got different output — the shadows differs dramatically. And sometimes, instead of shadows, some strange glows appears in unexpected places.

There is just one white material applied on all the boxes (big and small). Somewhere there are strange reflections, somewhere extremely dark shadows. But in new render t…

Hi there,
I hope you will not be offended by such basic level of my question…

The point which I am groping in is the Sculpting workflow. If you sculpt something you have to bake it in the end, which gives you “virtual” object with low geometry and bunch of displacements. As far as I understand it is great for using in some still composition. But w…

Hi there,

I have a simple setup. Triangular flag with Cloth tag applied to it. Nothing more yet.

But even there are no additional forces, small ripples are running across my flag constantly. Like slightly blowing breeze. I wonder why? Everything except gravity in Cloth tag is turned to 0.

I would like to employ Field Force to animate the flag, but I…

Hi there,

I would like to know, whether is possible to get multipass output based on polygon selection out of C4D. The scene is intended to be composited in After Effects. To be able to tweak color of certain areas easily without re-rendering the whole thing would be awesome.

Is there some other way, than making black and white texture and render…

Hey Steve, you did it! Huge thanks! And thank you for that some extra nuggets you packed with it as well.

I will definitely try to employ the Delay field to achieve some easing.

And that note about Boole… Really great, because I had no idea, this tool is better to avoid. Of course I experienced some evil happening around the edges, but I have no i…

Thanks for reply!
Well, I did try, but when I switch the Transform space of the effector to Effector, (putting all the object in the middle of the scene) the entire cloner behaves compactly as a single object.

Huge thanks Steve!

Actually the clone hemispheres aren’t distributed radially, but they are inserted one in another.

I just would like to be able to offset start of the rotation of each clone. Now they rotate gradually, but every piece starts to rotate in the same time.

I tried the Radial & Linear fields which you were talking about, but I only…

Hi there,

I have cloned object by Radial mode. The hemispheres sharing the same centre. When I try to rotate them gradually by using Plain effector & Falloff, the objects in the Cloner behaves as one, because as I found out, the Falloff influences the clone when it touches its center. I would like the Linear field to influence clones by…

One more quick question:

The hemispheres are cloned in Radial mode. Aplying the Linear Fileld influences all of them as a whole. I assume, that this is because of position of each clone is the same.

Is there some kind of workaround? (Except to model and animate each separately.)

Thanks!

Hi there,

I would like to ask for a help with delaying clones.

I have a Cloner with a few simple hemispheres cloned in the Blend mode. The hemispheres are sharing the same center and I rotate them by Step Effector. It works, but not exactly as I expected.

In the Step Effector I set 1000 degree rotation. The Strength of this effector is what drives…
