[@fernandocreative]

Great tutorial, thank you! Can you give any advice on your system setup? This project crashed my iMac three times, should I be working on a different machine? Thanks.

[@CGShortcuts]

Something I should have mentioned back in that tutorial was to click the 'render instances' box in the cloner, that will speed things up loads. I'd recommend an i7 processor and above and as much ram as you can get if you have issues

[@samzzverma2411]

Three claps in a row.. for this tutorial

[@ezvisage1553]

such a nice tutorial! Is it possible to morpth this scene to some kind of logo after that?

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers mate, Im sure you'd be able to find a way to do that, maybe have a second cloner object that clones the pins onto your logo? If you didn't already know about it we now have a Facebook Group if you'd like to get involved facebook.com/groups/CGShortcuts. Thanks for watching!

[@Hamidmirhajyosof]

a little bit of motion graphic design rendering setting???thanks.

[@CGShortcuts]

Grab the render setup in the project file;)

[@IBM_Motion]

Great bro

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers mate! BTW we have an awesome new Facebook Group of artists now too if you'd like to get involved, you can ask questions, post your work, get free stuff and enter our CG challenges - there's one on right now! It's Facebook.com/groups/cgshortcuts Thanks for watching!

[@amysterling]

Thanks for making this video, I learned so much! I am trying this technique to add details to an obj file of a neuron from our lab but c4d keeps totally freezing on me when I try to clone the spheres on vertices. Do you think it is because the meshes have too many polys?

[@CGShortcuts]

Great question! As it's a bit hard to give you a good answer here in the comments, any chance you could post your question on our Facebook Group and one of our community members can give you a hand;) If you could post some screenshots of your issue too that would be super helpful!

[@amysterling]

CG Shortcuts yes that would be great! Could you link me to the fb group?

[@maxwilliams1060]

I've followed your steps to the nose but can't select polygons...Searched the internet, no answer. Started new project, no dice...Any ideas on this? I'm using R19, and polygon selection enabled.

[@maxwilliams1060]

Figured it out, you need to make sure the object is not set to parametric, so you select the cylinder in this instance and press "c"

[@CGShortcuts]

Exactly! Nice work Max, BTW If you didn't already know about it we now have a Facebook Group if you'd like to get involved facebook.com/groups/CGShortcuts. Great for asking questions there too. Thanks for watching!

[@xavierizagranja3310]

Amazing!! Please how i can export this animation? Thanks

[@maryamal-homaid1838]

This is an amazing chanel...learning a lot everyday. For some reason, when I clone an object...I cannot seem to rotate it...The axis do rotate but not the actual copied objects...I used the shortcut (L) to make sure axis are disabled/enabled...still no use...please help!

[@timuroguz1854]

cool

[@zivfinkel1]

great tutorial. can you loop it?

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers mate, you can loop prety much anything in c4d;) You can use the same technique in this tutorial to loop the noise kzbin.info/www/bejne/laq3q2ioqJJoa6s thanks for watching!

[@zivfinkel1]

in the noise shader you have the "loop period", which doesn't exist in the water shader. am i missing something? thanks.

[@CGShortcuts]

yeah unfortunately not all noise shaders are directly loopable (the water shader is one of them). In the noise shader though (which is loopable) you can change the noise to 'wavy turbulence' which is similar to the water shader. That will be loopable. Let me know if that works

[@kpoulis]

@@CGShortcuts No, it doesn`t work.

[@markboatright9392]

Instead of using nails, would it be possible to use a body of type?

[@CGShortcuts]

You definitely could. You could use a motext object and clone it too. I'll add it to the list of tutorials;) BTW If you didn't already know about it we now have a Facebook Group if you'd like to get involved facebook.com/groups/CGShortcuts. Thanks for watching!

[@clovett6561]

how can you apply a gradient to this using a second shader instead of using water in the shading could I change it to colour and apply the gradient that way?

[@CGShortcuts]

You can use a plain effector instead of noise of you want a gradient falloff;) BTW we have an awesome new Facebook Group of artists now too if you'd like to get involved, you can ask questions, post your work, get free stuff and enter our CG challenges - there's one on right now!

[@ogulcan1100]

what is the shortcut from 1:11 ?

[@zen-nc2fn]

Why can’t I select , to do the extraction at the bottom with the “only select visible elements nothing happens it’s just a circle

[@CGShortcuts]

Hard to say without seeing it, what version of C4D are you using? Maybe post a screenshot on our Facebook group and I can have a look for you?

[@stephenhatzi4025]

for some reason when i go to click the segments with the live select the blue outline doesnt show and when i hover over it doesnt highlight. i cant get past this step :(

[@CGShortcuts]

Did you put it into polygon face mode?

[@stephenhatzi4025]

not sure what you mean but i have done all the steps correctly up until this point (new to cinema 4d)

[@Sam-we7zj]

mine doesnt animate when i press play i have no idea why

[@CGShortcuts]

Try the project file to see where you went wrong

[@Sam-we7zj]

@@CGShortcutsthanks for the reply. theres option in the shader - Time Dependent tickbox has to be on for the noise to animate. Ugh...
