Hello there.. For the people who have problem with the attractor not affecting the object- Go on expert menu and drag the attractor in the include box! Great tut EJ!

[@eyedesyn]

thanks for the added tip!!! appreciate you watching!

[@evandileo9262]

ah! I had just the same issue. Creating the attractor w the cloth selected didnt automatically make them linked together for me. Thank you!

Hey EJ, love your tutorials and very grateful for them. Having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the same folds with the new r26 cloth simulation settings. There's no size parameter anymore, and Overpressure seems to work a bit differently. Would love an updated tutorial about the new cloth sim from you. You always explain things so well.

Hey there! They added it back in in C4D 2023 so if you update you'll be good!

Hi, the first part of the Tutorial is 🔥 Thanks a lot, very, handy and clear! BUT for the MoText part I'm totally lost: I've got missing options in Caps ( no Regular grid/Width options available) in R21 C4D version. Also, when I still tried to pursue by making the object Editable, again: the Caps menu of the X Extrude Object is totally different, Create Single Object's not there, and I struggle to find it somewhere else.. If you have any recomendations - it would be very much apreciated!

[@eyedesyn]

are you using an older version of C4D? yuo can try throwing the motext object in a connect object and making the connect object editable

[@lanzsantos_]

Hi! Whats the most optimized way of adding soft body tag on top of these? Everytime I add a soft body tag C4D just crashes

[@eyedesyn]

best way is to use a low poly object, bake the sim and then apply a subdivision surface to add more subdivision

[@babaallerbabas3194]

So i got a question, i wanna do the cloth animation with an sculpture... So i Sculpted a Brain then i want to Select some Points via PointMode 2 create the FixedPoints but soon as i want 2 fix them the Points turning into a red color and i cant fix them. Why does it happen, is selecting Points not working with sculpted objects ?

you need to bake the sculpt and not have it be an active sculpt later

[@stevejurado]

Hey. I understand that @Gonzalo Kaiser had issues with the Attractor having no affect on the geometry/cloth tag. He explained that if you drag the Affector and drop it on top of the forces tab in the cloth tag, it'll work. However, for me, it hasn't and so am wondering whether there are other things I can try. I'm confident I've followed the video like-for-like, but allas no inflation.... Thanks!

[@stevejurado]

Ok.. Solved it. For anyone else with a similar issue, you can drag the Attractor into the expert tab, as it contains the include box to create the link - BAM!

[@alesioser]

@@stevejurado Thanks Steven!! You saved me

[@3DCGdesign]

@@stevejurado Thanks for this - having same problem, but nothing seems to work for me to get attractor working. I dropped it into the "Include" box in Expert tab - still nothing.

[@3DCGdesign]

If I drop in the Simulate>Particles> "Wind" particle it works just like his "attractor" works in this video (after I drop it into the "expert>include" box) but the attractor doesn't work no matter what I do. :/

[@3DCGdesign]

ok, so after the wind particle worked, I removed the attractor completely, inserted a new one, and dropped it into the Include box, and now it's working. No idea why. But yay!

[@Daviboy30]

The attractor object is not working for me. It's not sucking or blowing out even when I increase the strength to 5000 or -5000. What's wrong?

[@eyedesyn]

You can try adding the wind object in the Force List in the force tab of the dynamics tag and setting the force mode to include

Hello how are you doing. From Cordoba Argentina ... how can I print an inflated object in 3d, with that appearance? ... in dimensions approximately 30 cm x 30 cm ... I want to take them to a work of art.

[@yoyoz333]

hey EJ, how would you go about writing a word into it? so that a word inflates from within that object?

[@smallbellows]

Hi EJ, thanks for all the great tutorials! I have an issue with adding to the line cut selection. the tool selects after the cut just fine, but when I hold shift and do a second cut I loose the first selection; this happens regardless of holding shift. I'm using c4d 2023, and also tried it in c4d s24. but neither worked. the only way I found was to make multiple selection tags and then merge them together. is there some setting I need to change so that holding shift adds to the line cut selection?

[@eyedesyn]

Im not sure what the deal could be there!

[@eyedesyn]

If you made the cloth already editable or made it baked down, your attactor wont work anymore because you're not using a dynamic object anymore
