Cinema 4D tutorial - Dynamic spline logo reveal

[@SeanDove]

Hey guys - in the past I’ve received some comments asking for texture and render tips. To make it most helpful what is everyone playing with? Standard, Physical, Redshift?

[@QuackerJack09]

I would suggest Physical (maybe something with depth of field?). Could probably reach more users. Lots of users dont have third party render engines. I tried corona previously, its quite good. And, thank you! for your tuts and work effort btw. :)

[@AjmalBasil]

We would like to know your preferred engine. It would be great if you can give some tips on physical render engine.

[@matistaa]

Redshift would be dope

[@heidiglezarango3397]

Redshift 😍

[@timcity]

Redshift for sure!

[@bakani2218]

This channel is the gift that keeps on giving... Thank you for the step by step tutorial.. 🕺🕺🕺

[@ignaciosagrario]

With R26: - Put circle into a connect and add the connect to the Tracer - To reset simmulation, press Shift+F (or Go to Start button) several times, until it refreshes to frame 0 - To turn off gravity go to Ctrl+D -> Bullet -> Put 0 on Gravity there

[@ramykotb9883]

Can you explain more on how to do the first step?

[@NgCaleb]

You're a saint for updating! thank you

[@bhavana01123]

Sean, I’ve been a watcher/subscriber since almost the very beginning and I gotta tell ya, you seem to be really hitting your stride. This was a completely useful and terrific presentation. All killer no filler - cheers!

[@yordan_stoyanov]

Found this from your instagram story! Inspiring some great ideas, thank you for taking the time. Subscribed.

[@lollyholly3005]

I'm trying to figure this out in R26, it doesnt look like it should be too much more difficult but the rings get so distorted and fly off into the abyss 😅😅

[@carl2072]

Great to see you’re back up and running with that tuts! Thank you!

[@gillesdillenseger6472]

Hey Sean ! That's so cool, I didn't now you could use soft body dynamic on splines 👍

[@Marina.2605]

Hi! I'm currently following your tutorial but with the apple logo, not Nike. And I'm at 12:04, where I should put the logo in extrude. But my logo isn't extruding. And I just don't understand why. Do you have any tips for me? Thank you so much!

[@Sam-wo4wn]

you tuts are really great, please continue doing more !

[@designersvane]

So awesome! Thanks for showing this process - well explained!

[@tranqilo397]

amazing' thanks for coming back!

[@MacToecutter]

I tried to recreate the animation with R25, but the tracer didn´t work when the circle is driven by softbody-tag. Everything works fine in R23. Any idea what happend?

[@MacToecutter]

Short update. I contact Maxon and they confirm that this is an bug in R25.

[@Jeezeus]

@@MacToecutter Same issue here with R25, is there a fix, are you still able to make it work?

[@MacToecutter]

@@Jeezeus yes, there is a workaround. Just put the spline in a connect object und use this in the tracer..

[@itsdavehimself]

@@MacToecutter It worked thanks

[@MacToecutter]

@@itsdavehimself you´re welcome

[@reeyo360]

everytime i get experimental, my shhit crashes i hate it.

[@jayygado4711]

Hi sean, i tried in r20 but it doesn't work 😞

[@apixel.content]

Just a heads up, that the R25 tracer doesn't update the circle softbody dynamics, but R24 works.

[@SeanDove]

Ah bugger! Try changing the order in the hierarchy to see if having the dynamics or tracer calculate first makes any difference?

[@apixel.content]

@@SeanDove unfortunately I think R25 tracer is broken on updating the dynamics circle, but R24 work flawlessly, thanks for the great tutorial :)

[@brandonblair6529]

@@SeanDove I got it to "Work" if I put my dynamics tag on the tracer its self and set it to adaptive. Then I just used octane tag for sub div. My playback isn't nearly as smooth as yours in the view port though... I am not sure what the best route is in R25 due to the tracer not reading the tag... Any ideas :D

[@jhalanddesign]

Same problem here! But both for 24 and 25, but got it working in 20. So I'll send a bug report

[@jhalanddesign]

Good news everyone! I found the problem. In 25 the standard settings for collision has a different setup. Turn off Inherit Tag (none), and Individual Elements (Off). Then it works more as expected.

[@traegami]

Thank you for this, great tuts. Is there a reason for not using field force as opposed to several attractors?

[@SeanDove]

I’ve always found the field force makes dynamic objects attracted to each other rather than a physical point which the attractors do nicely

[@traegami]

@@SeanDove Thanks

[@NathanTekaya]

Thank you for this really cool tutorial !

[@heidiglezarango3397]

Thanks 🙏

[@emilienlerochais]

Very smart! But i don't really understand why you have to use a tracer and not directly the sweep with the dynamic spline?

[@Vlad-B-V]

How can i learn to do something like this & more?

[@moda7090]

SO good thank you !! What did you do with the spline materials / lighting,? looks amazing!!

[@epicamv27]

how to creat Nike spline

[@jiayichong2335]

can this logo change to text ?

[@JoepSwagemakers]

C4D is sooo much easier than 3ds max, crazy how you can just sim something without all kinds of errors

[@Theo-mi9yj]

Great tutorial! Quick Q if you don't mind, why is the tracer needed for this to work?

[@SeanDove]

The tracer can subdivide the spline to make it smooth without it been calculated with the soft body - if we just started with a dense spline it would explode as the points are closer than the collision margin Hope that helps!

[@Theo-mi9yj]

@@SeanDove That makes sense, thanks!

[@wandaworx1217]

Hi sean can this work on any version r19 and up?

[@SeanDove]

Hey mate, yeah provided you have soft body dynamics you’ll be laughing!

[@wandaworx1217]

@@SeanDove lol okay i hope so,thanks

[@TheKevphil]

VERY interesting! BTW: Can you still create materials the "old" way, as separate stacked components, or does C4D now force you to use the Node Editor?

[@syukron2255]

Im so glad that storm breaker is come back 😆🔨⚡️🧔‍♂️

[@SCOPERTEORIENTALI]

nice tutorial THANKS ... quite complicated for a beginner like me

You save lives ❤️

[@User-pq2yn]

Amazing!

[@mirzaaouj]

Top class

[@pedroleitin]

for some reason, this trick on TRACER seems not working on R25, don't act like he has the dynamic tag. Tested on S24 and works like a charm!

[@sabothbrainiac5844]

Same problem. Two steps forward two steps back ...

[@mostafakhajavi8223]

perfect ...

[@MegaBexon]

Nice approche.

[@pamacreativ1]

Just dhope woooow

[@mrinalsenvamadevan1965]

YOUR TUTORIALS ARE VERY GOOD. but please avoid unnecessery EXPLANATIONS. do matter of fact Learn to pronounce

[@mrCetus]

you tuts are really great, please continue doing more !
