First time watched this few months ago... but today second time around I finally understand more about everything you did and I can really use these techniques on my own work. Thank You EJ!!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Korea_OST]

EJ: the best teacher, I have learned many many cool things from your tutorials, thanks for making and sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you

[@eyedesyn]

Wow that comment really means a lot to me, so thank you for that! Really appreciate the support and you watching! Glad to be of some help! :)

[@zbs5824]

omg thanks, very cool to learn I need more

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you dig ittt!!!

[@sajadb_dev]

Looking back at 2018, I really learned a lot here about c4d, thanks man. I wish there was a cool channel like this for Houdini

[@eyedesyn]

really awesome to hear my channel helped you learn C4D! i think as Houdini gets more streamlined, youll see more and more!

[@EQUILOUD]

Super cool! That was a fun to learn ! (You can exclude Lights from the object within the SSS)

[@eyedesyn]

awesome to know!! thanks for that tip!

[@vladshinkin]

Man, thanks a LOT. I mean one of your lessons covering so much is Cinema. I always afraid using SSS materials, because i think its so hard to understanding. Thank you, man.

[@eyedesyn]

very welcome man! SSS is waaaay faster in Redshift and Octane tho so I'd check that out! :) thanks for watching!

[@highmagiclowlife]

your humour oddly grew on me from start of the video to the end of the video lol

[@hecksongs9803]

Absolutely amazing tutorial, easy to follow along. Thanks, this was fun to make!

19:30 Right Clicking on double arrows to get back the Default Value!!!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you appreciate that one! :)

[@dmellis]

@@eyedesyn I'm not done with this exercise. I'm trying to get X-Particles to emit some capsules to create a continuous stream of drips. I'd also like to get some drips to hit from above with some dynamics. It took me a long time to get the Insydium Bridge to work this morning though. They don't tell you that you have to create a plugin folder for R20 and then set the path to that folder in preferences.

[@eyedesyn]

XParticles is definitely a great way to take this concept to the next level! Good luck!

[@dmellis]

@@eyedesyn Ok, I have to admit, I got a little obsessed over this one. media.giphy.com/media/39u26m9Dl06YKFVYu0/giphy.gif I don't like that some of the Volume Builder animation is a little jittery. This could be a bit of a problem in the future. I had to do a reshape layer on the bottom skull emitters that are dripping stuff from the skull mouths. I also had an issue that the render would stop around frame 140. When I started a second render from that point the X-Particles emission wouldn't start from the first frame. There was definitely some odd things going on but I learned a lot about the object order and hierarchy in the Volume Builder how to finesse the settings. The next thing I need to get used to is how to get different colors going within the same Volume builder. Chris Schmidt has a good demo on that around 40 minutes into this video. greyscalegorilla.com/tutorials/askgsg-c4d-r20-siggraph/

[@eyedesyn]

whoaaaa...

Thanks for sharing EJ, it would be great more tutorials on more complex modeling. Ypu are the best teacher.

[@eyedesyn]

check out MILG11 on motionworks.net, that's got all the modeling training you'll ever need! thanks for watching!

gamechanger right!? thanks for watching!

[@curtbeaber]

Ur tutorials are great! Thank you very much!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Curt! Appreciate the kind words!

[@3DGraphicsFun]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Even though I mainly use Iclone I still love my Cinema 4d. One of the reasons is I love mograph. And I want to learn mograph real well. This tutorial being so in-depth and concise really advances my knowledge of mograph. I just wish there was a real time renderer that would render R20 mograph at blazing speeds. I will keep waiting. Thanks again for sharing 😊

[@eyedesyn]

Rendering speed is only going to get better and faster, that's for sure! I'm not sure how well Redshift, Octane, etc works with R20 but I hope in a couple years we won't be complaining much about rendering speeds anymore!

[@logandrayson4175]

Would love to see a tutorial on how to make photorealistic products with a step file using Octane. TY!

[@romulomagagnotti1135]

EJ, could you, by any means, share that simple 3 way light setup with us? Would speed up a lot of my workflow...

[@eyedesyn]

KZbin has a lot of great videos on 3 Point Lighting setups if you do a search!

[@akazayabeats]

great tutorial! thank you so much!! but how did you make the text wobble once you can see the full text?

[@csatahu9162]

is there a way to inherit the UV of the letters for the Volume mesher to add texture?

[@eyedesyn]

Since the UV is always changing due to generating new polygons it’s not really possible to texture unless you use triplanar

[@kidbuzz7748]

Very good learning video

[@eyedesyn]

glad you enjoyed it!

how did you make the text itself animated as if it were something soft? 26:13

[@dongli5261]

is volume builder a new feature in R20? I don't have it on my c4d ~(I'm using R19)

[@McRibs]

Yes. It is kind of the big feature for R20. It got me to upgrade.

[@royiakavia2246]

I very happy with your C4D Tutorial u are one of the best clear voice talk to the subject about >>>>Liquid text Revel Using MoGraph Field & Volumes R20, Can you please be kind to do the sameTutorial for R21 (2019) its a bit deferent and very hard to finish the Tutorial as i cant find everthying and maybe it will be even faster cheers from Japan

[@eyedesyn]

Hello! Thanks for the kind words! This workflow is exactly the same in R21!

[@juanocybe]

which one is the last effect u have used in that animation? (the wavy one ).

[@eyedesyn]

i think the displace deformer is what youre talking about?

[@juanocybe]

hi there master, i was talking about the effect that takes place when the reveal is complete (ive got a similar (but not the same) effect with formula).

[@rebeka5307]

Hi, lovely video. Was able to make the whole and render it. But could not get the little animation with the noise that you did. What did you do for the animation where it feels windy inside the letters and little up down animation?

[@AnalizlerleKazan]

How did you make the light? I couldn't do it for 2 hours.

[@AnalizlerleKazan]

Can I get your rendering settings?

[@eyedesyn]

check out tutorials on 3 point lighting, it'll help you a lot with lighting

[@juula9469]

hahaha blobbyefied, that word is legendary

[@eyedesyn]

hehehee

[@jossa191]

This is a great tutorial but i have a problem that i can not solve. I have a model with UVS and i used it with volume builder but the texture i have i need to put it in the volume mesher but when i turn on volume builder the texture stretches it very weird and if i turn off volume builder the texture looks normal. I am very sad because it is the onlye thing left to finish my project what can i do?

[@GrandeGio95]

How to do the same thing but in Blender ?

[@danielutter6762]

Amateur question probably but how would bake this animation? I need to bring this technique into another scene and it's really heavy.

[@bradstoonz4703]

This is how the goosebumps series was made.

[@eyedesyn]

hahaha

[@anthonyhastings844]

Hey Eye that font where can i get it?

[@x-forcefpv9620]

Awesome tutorial EJ :) Where can I learn some basic design skills? I feel like I have the technical knowledge for cinema and AE but I'm seriously lacking design skills for creating ideas.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the kind comment! I highly recommend School of Motion's Design Bootcamp! www.schoolofmotion.com/design-bootcamp

[@x-forcefpv9620]

Awesome! Looks like a nice course, I think I will sign up :)

[@eyedesyn]

It's really beefy but you'll come out the other end waaaaay better at design! Totally worth it!

[@lilartroom]

Is this file editable far as the text?

[@eyedesyn]

yessir, everything is still live and editable!

[@segiroten666]

I tried this workflow with an imported OBJ mesh of a head but as soon as I apply the volume builder it gets crazy?

[@brandonblair6529]

Anyone know how to speed up viewport playback in c4d? He talks about the mesher setting that reduces polys, but i would like to see something closer to the final product. ty

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

The playback rate is set in the options menu for the timeline - there's a button which looks like a vertical filmstrip at the extreme right of the timeline control palette. Depending on your hardware and the complexity of the animation you may have to disable Play All Frames before setting the speed - Cinema will then drop frames to try and match the speed.

[@lgyfrancois9111]

Any turbulence fx to make it more liquid based without plugins?

[@eyedesyn]

Very hard to do anything realistic without XParticles or TFD unfortunately!

[@user-hy7ex5hf7q]

man when i render the end resul comes different

[@ameet21]

you can do this capsule thing with cloner also right why manually?

[@eyedesyn]

because cloning onto the surface uses randomness and i wanted exact placement of the drips!

[@MAKIWEAR]

i know this is old curious if anyone could maybe give a tip as to why when i drop the linear field in the scene start to lag. im currently running a 3060

[@eyedesyn]

this is pretty normal - if you up the Voxel size it should speed up, i like to keep the size higher for testing animation and then once i lock it in, bring it down more geometry = slower

[@Tabarus]

when I start rendering it turns black, I added a lightroom and still just doesnt render?

[@eyedesyn]

Do you have a cracked version of c4d?

[@Superbustr]

If only my computer wasn't so slow. At around half way through the video everything in Cinema 4d lags to hell. Impossible to do the tutorial. What, do I need a better gpu?

[@triciaacco5641]

Hey how do I actually render the project every time I try it doesn’t work ??
