Easy Plastic Shrink Wrap Animation in Cinema 4D | Saran Wrap Anything!

[@SoupcatMan]

I got 12 minutes into the video and you asked me to like and subscribe and I was like "You know what, Ive been using this guys tutorials to make bendy rubberhose animations in cinema4d since I was 5 years old. Maybe its time I should let him know". I loved your tutorial on the marvelous designer cloth (if you only uploaded it sooner I really could've used your help there). Its because of you that I learned all the mograph effectors in Cinema4d. I've been working as a freelance motion designer for a year now and everything I know is because of you. So hey, thanks man! I also did your School of Motion, 3D summit thingy back in the day. Great content, c4d 2023 is looking mighty fine! I hope to see some water simulation or smoke simulation native soon! Blender has this and thats free! ok thx bye

[@eyedesyn]

Hey thanks so much for the kind words and hey it's good to know people like and subscribe! LOL But seriously, that comment means a lot - it's hearing stories like this that keeps me making all this training content and I'm honored that my videos have been part of your learning journey and has helped you throughout your career! And wait, what's this about Blender being free!?!!?

I took your courses on SOM and I liked them and learned a lot. I'm subscribed to this channel and see it as an extension of your SOM course with the new options in C4D. It gives me a setup for new ideas. I'm not a professional but people around me are amazed what you can do with C4D.

[@avaze7]

Love this effect! I had a lot of issues getting the wrap to fold the way i wanted, because the Hexahedron geo doesnt seem to be optimal. What worked for me is duplicating the volume mesher chain used for the proxy geo but dilating the geo by a lot, applying a generous sdf smooth and then remeshing it to the resolution i want to replace the sphere geo :)

[@eyedesyn]

Great tip!

Did u know blender is free? and has cloth too :P

​@@eyedesyn As a matter of fact, I use blender. But at this point, it's more a matter of hardware limitation rather than creativity and skill [overpriced cards & Nvidia monopoly]

[@alexandrahobba5751]

help! when i hit play my sphere just falls through the objects. it doesn't stick to them at all. thanks so much for any advice.:)

[@userinfo3119]

Gotta put those particles in time out so they calm down

[@eyedesyn]

Theyre acting so crazy

[@usernumber99345]

Hi! Thank you for your tutorial. My soft body worked perfectly until I changed some of the object positions. Now the plastic wrap doesn't cover all of my objects. Some of the shapes are still out of the wrap. I checked that all my shapes are not overlapping each other also are in the initial sphere (plastic wrap) at frame 0. What happened! T.T

[@_o__o_]

when will the new rigid bodys come to c4d?

[@eyedesyn]

Good question! It looks like fire particle sims are coming soon, maybe rigid bodies are on tap for being in a next release? We can hope!

[@Ayvazovsky_kar]

Guys if you are getting overlapping issues on the edges be sure to decrease the thickness. Thanks for the tutorial EJ ~

[@eyedesyn]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@SerYil1]

amazing tutorial as always but somehow I couldn't make the force work, everything there, it's just doing nothing even even on an empty clean project file. I am guessing because of my R26. Edit: got latest version with same license, installed, and it works. Maybe has something to do with "Use deformed object" option, which is missing on earlier versions.

[@eyedesyn]

hmmm yeah not sure they change so much from version to version anymore but glad you got it all sorted! :)

[@marcusfernandes1754]

Hey Seryil, I guess that i'm with the same problem here. Do you have any idea i could do to make it works? Where should I find the "Use deformed object"?

[@SerYil1]

@@marcusfernandes1754 Hey Marcus, so it was a version problem for me. I was still using R26, then I switched to 2023 and everything worked for me. I don't think it's possible with earlier versions. Hope that helps.

[@tiktoklove007]

yooo❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@jacquesbroquard]

Hey man, great stuff, thanks for sharing. How did you end up experimenting with the values of the cloth? I noticed that values were pretty unintuitive (I'm a Maya guy) so arriving at 9999, or whatever is unusual to my eye. How did you go about experimenting with values and their hihg-low ranges?

[@eyedesyn]

Values in C4D can be kinda wonky (I’ve found every update the values affect simulations differently as maxon tweaks it) so I just max stuff out and see what happens

[@jacquesbroquard]

@@eyedesyn like any true scientist would! Lol. Makes perfect sense.

[@PetraCGSchmidt]

Great tutorial! Lots of fun too!! Please keep them coming but be careful with that plastic in your face!!!!

[@eyedesyn]

LOL yes thanks for the tip!

[@망고-m1z]

I tried to use the Dynamic Placement Tool, but it doesn't work. Even I clicked the purple arrow, but it still doesn't work. How can I make it working? I hope you can give any alternatives about this problem. Also, I made the plastic wrap, it didn't work like yours. I mean that It when it's wrapped, it's wrapped up up and down, so it works differently. So is there any alternatives to solve this problem? I'm enjoying your video, actually it is first time to use c4d. I like your explanation videos!

[@eyedesyn]

Are you on the latest version of C4D? Can’t really tell what could be going wrong by your explanation but hope you can figure it out!

[@망고-m1z]

yeah I think it's latest version, but actually I'm using student subscription. I still can't use dynamic placement tool, but finally I could make PREFECT plastic wrap. I think I have to ask about that tool to Maxon. Thank you for replying my comment! @@eyedesyn

[@bananab0wls]

Hey i know this tutorial is pretty old but just wnated to let you know that i followed it exactly how you did it and it doesnt work lol. the field force doesnt suck the wrap in to anything

[@MarkusvanderWesthuizen]

I lose you at field force... nothing happening to my shrink wrap. I've watched the segment and rewatched it. I've done it over and over and over probably 6 times already with no luck. I've tried including the force on the plastic wrap. No luck... so I'm finally giving up on this. Grrrrrr. Very frustrating.

[@eyedesyn]

Are you using the latest version of C4D?

[@mohamedboukhraz1588]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial! I bought the project file from Gumroad but whenever I try to render everything is RED, I am using c4d s24, any idea? thanks in advance!

[@eyedesyn]

Have you checked to see if there are any missing textures?

[@Bendoescamera]

Using 2024.4 and field force doesnt work with cloth no matter what I do.

[@modernodj]

Thanks, Mate! 😃

[@eyedesyn]

Welcome very much! thanks for watching!

[@nickmnft6927]

My redshift renderer is stuck on preparing… any help w this?

[@eyedesyn]

Depends on if you got a slow system - what setup do you have?

[@marcusfernandes1754]

Hey, after I reduce the gravity to 0 and put the "Field Forcer" the way Eyedesyn does in this video, my animation doesn`t work anymore, literally my sphere stays still. Anyone can help me?

[@eyedesyn]

Did you put any fields into the field force? It won't work without any fields in the field force.

[@marcusfernandes1754]

@@eyedesyn Yes, I did. I put the remesh just like you did. I have no idea what is going on. Do you have any idea what could it be?

[@LunaWayve]

forget the simulations, tell us about the lighting set up PLEASE

[@eyedesyn]

It's actually just an HDRI and a background cyc courtesy of GreyscaleGorilla! Highly recommend GSG+! No lights - which I typically don't just use HDRI's alone but this time it worked nicely! :)

@@eyedesyn great! Thanks for the update then haha

[@bhavana01123]

Yeah, since EJ OG’d this wayback when (C4D R19 or 20) also- within his first two minutes of this video explains that he’s RE-doing his original work, to reflect the new techniques available in this latest v of C4D with the new cloth sims capabilities, and if you wanna get really technical about it, Nick and Chris, when they were together at grayscale 4 years ago +/-did one, and Chris in the last 4 seasons of RocketLasso lessons has continued to expand and develop on shrink wrap and even vacuum seal shrink wrap, effects well before Vincent waded into these waters. This written, Vincent is awesome. But perhaps check your facts before you leap to post next time. I mean we’ve probably all been there, too-quik-draw, but still, love first before being all hate-y-hate-y - jus sayin’

[@eyedesyn]

@@bhavana01123 everyone's got their own ways and methods to do these effects and always thankful for people sharing their knowledge, expertise and insights - I'm all for the more the merrier as long as no one is blatantly ripping people off, right?
