[@lucasgcasagrande]

When you are working all night long and at 3 am you find this gem thats saves your night/animation/deadline/client. thanks. a lot.

[@eyedesyn]

Glad to hear it!!

[@MinamiKoume]

Finally, I got here and was able to do what I could not do. Thank you so much!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad I could help!

Thanks EJ, was having trouble beveling a spine w extrude and through this vid, got the info I needed.

[@kod7826]

You are my teacher! Thanks to share your work with all us.

[@eyedesyn]

+KOD7 Thanks for watching!! Glad you liked it!

[@ilariamast]

best c4d tutorial channel! thank you for all your explenations!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the channel!

[@BrandonWorkshop]

Yea, your channel is the best. Thanks for making the effort, I'm sure you put plenty of work into it.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Brandon! It is a lot of work but it's all worth it if it helps people out there like yourself so it's great to hear you're getting some useful information! :)

[@motionsnacks7498]

Hi EJ, great tutorial again! To get less pinches maybe you can try and set your spline type to B-spline instead of bezier. In most cases you get much cleaner geometry that way.

[@eyedesyn]

+MotionSnacks That's a great suggestion! I noticed playing with the Angle setting helped as well with Subdivision mode, cranking it up to 90º

[@dejunwang1681]

your work is really amazing. ihave learned a lot ,thanks.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks very much! Glad to hear it, Dejun!

[@STVinMotion]

Thanks, E.J! Can this be done easier/more efficiently - now that we have the Volume Builder?

Is there some little xpresso setup or anything that would allow you to drive the mospline's spline position with a plain effector?

[@eyedesyn]

+Charlie Goodvibes You can actually use mograph effectors to animate Mosplines by dropping Effectors into the Mospline 'Effector' tab!

[@robleymcdonnell]

+eyedesyn I actually meant to post that on the unrolling banner video haha. Multiple tabs... As it relates to that one, I was referring to when you mess with the drop down menu on controlling the bend so it unrolls without doubling back on itself, if you could use an effector to drive those points and control the unroll that way.

[@wrangleroooo]

can you animeted it?

[@fabianluginbuhl2594]

Hello, I need some help haha. I'm on c4d r23 and in the extrude menu the Regular grid seems to have disappeared? Any Idea where it went or am I just stupid?

[@eyedesyn]

It's moved to under the Caps Type dropdown!

[@chifulyator]

Help pls) tell me pls is there a way to use this technique in R21? I select the quadrangles in caps type but there is no Regular fit check box and there is no Width control.

[@eyedesyn]

in R21 it's called Regular Grid

[@chifulyator]

@@eyedesyn i'v fond it but thank you so much! I love your channel!

[@BlueMaster94]

I have the same problem. How did you solve it?

[@chifulyator]

@@BlueMaster94 Hello! Look at the in Regular Grid in R21. It's in the same place.

[@陳佳梅-d7m]

謝謝~

[@Hoos]

Hi after i group both objext at the start the bend still wont work

[@eyedesyn]

Make sure you're following the workflow correctly. You sound like you don't have the Bend deformer in the same level of hierarchy as the objects. Good luck!

[@filmdon2475]

Hi EJ, would I be able to use this technique to bend a little before breaking apart?

[@eyedesyn]

Not sure what you mean?

[@filmdon2475]

Hey Ej, sorry about that. So basically i saw this video and wanted to apply it to a technique where i break a plank in half. But before splitting in half i wanted the plank to bend a little before breaking. I kind of figured my way around that, only issue is now my texture on the object is distorted because of the split and bending. Any suggestions on how I can keep texture preserved?

[@yewsoonfatt]

The tutorial is great, but can you please export the video in a brighter level? this look to dark and its kinda difficult for me, thank you

[@eyedesyn]

I use a Dark interface for my C4D UI for all my tutorials for added contrast

[@y0Ambi]

what version or C4D is this and do you have sub polygon displacement

[@eyedesyn]

This is R17 and there was no polygon displacement in this tutorial.
