Creating Bubble Type or Balloon Text Inflation Simulations in Cinema 4D

[@spIette]

Look at me, I am kerning! Like a real designer!

[@eyedesyn]

Now read my book on "how I made millions kerning as a designer" book and you'll learn how to be a millionaire too!

[@RockwellProducts]

No but for real, you're a real one for this bro. I've gone through and retaken each step of this tutorial several times just to really hammer in what it is your doing, and the way you break things down makes assimilating this information SO easy.

[@eyedesyn]

Really appreciate the kind words!!! Glad you found this helpful and thanks for watching!

[@KidABC-oe5yj]

in cinema 4d you will make a TYPE bubble/balloon

[@lukas-personal]

insane feature, I am even more impressed that you can push them around in real time...that's amazing.

[@eyedesyn]

Right?! I'm continually impressed by the new sim speed!

[@arhamsulman4704]

new to c4d (was using blender before) but recreated this easily ! You are a really good teacher ! subbed

[@eyedesyn]

Welcome aboard! And thanks for the kind words!

[@ryanhoog8678]

SO much better than a coffee! Great job.

[@eyedesyn]

HAHAHA I mean coffee is pretty good too 😜

[@nhankieu639]

I Love Text Balloon You Made!

[@DynamicPhil84]

Super fun stuff EJ! I absolutely love the vertex map feature with C4D cloth for creating these inflation transitions. It's so simple and intuitive and IMO looks as good as almost anything coming out of Houdini!

[@eyedesyn]

Absolutely! WHOdini!? hehe I can't wait for Maxon to add more capabilties, we still dont have rigid body and its still missing alot of features from the old dynamics systems!

[@DynamicPhil84]

@@eyedesyn Yaaasss!! I can't wait for the rigid body system to be integrated. Maxon should also just buy Insydium so X-particles can become native to C4D. The built-in particles and forces system is still fairly limited.

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching! :)

[@yongchen9342]

So glad that I fund this tutorial. LOVE IT!

[@LAUZERTV]

Even though the free tote bag offer was clearly false advertising apart from the sneaky disclaimer I had already liked and subbed lol! Your videos are the best, Thank You

[@robertpowell2176]

Awesome EJ, going to be playing around with this. I'm a C4D Basecamp veteran and loved that, would love to do the Ascent one day. Keep the tuts coming

[@eyedesyn]

Heck yeah thanks so much for taking Basecamp and supporting me (and not being sick of me by the end of Basecamp lol)

[@sonsafkan]

Another wonderful tutorail. Thank you!!!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@antonino4437]

Really nice tutorial, super clear! Got your files to understand how you built texture and played with lights 👌. It’s superb 🎉

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for your support and glad you're learning something from the project files!!

[@VitusPolikarpusSM]

Thanks for this tutorial, I'll try to practice it myself

[@eyedesyn]

Can't wait to see what you come up with! Enjoy!!!

[@OllyKilo]

Thanks for making these amazing tutorials E.J. - super fun to play around with.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@shymekcinco]

5:36 its called "Polygon Groups to Object" in older versions of C4D

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for shouting that out!

[@wiewiorka_ojoj4167]

Btw. I wish your Basecamp Cinema 4D course would be available also as the "offline" version, not only online live-lessons. Unfortunately with my 3 kids I'm not able to take the live lessons on fixed hours :( Maybe in the future ;)

[@ItsJessEdits]

at the recent conference you were going to show how you made that pillows inflating animation but ran out of time to discuss it in as much detail; will you be making that a tutorial here? Super interested to see how you accomplished connecting the pillows and your process there overall! These are always so great!

[@eyedesyn]

Haven't gotten to that yet but it's on the list! :)

[@ItsJessEdits]

@@eyedesyn no worries!! Was just curious! Thanks a ton!

[@viktoryden]

Thank you!!!! Love it!

Polygon Island!! wtf!!!!!! needed that for years! tx

[@robhemus3457]

I’ve started C4D and loving it. Followed the tutorial and now I can’t render it. Not done it before. Any tutorials on this, what I’m doing is saying it’s going to take 7 hours 😂

[@HoudiniRookie]

Super fun as always EJ! 🤞Still waiting for the full tutorial of tie-ing the knot with dynamic rope. Oh man I forgot what presentation you did making it now. 🥺

[@eyedesyn]

I haven't done the tutorial YET but I plan on covering that at NAB in a couple weeks so be sure to tune in! :)

[@cactusface23]

great tutorial and easy to follow. I do however wonder how you would trigger the sim, say at a later frame instead of the initial start at f0. TY!

[@NotTheLarryDavid]

Super nice tutorial, EJ! That final material you used is fantastic.

[@Alonamorgana]

Awesome tutorial! I wanted to ask you if it is possible that the balloon could explode, I don't know how to do it :(

[@eyedesyn]

There is a tearing option on the new sims so that totally should be possible! I think @RocketLasso did some tutorial on the tearing!

[@snellcheeks]

Looks awesome, also the final look. At 27:20 you jump immediately to a render, skipping the lighting and textures part... I understand the focus is on the simulation and dynamics here, but can you give a hint on the material and lights used? Thanks! (PS -- sadly I'm stuck to an older Mac running R21 with physical renderer)

[@eyedesyn]

You can download the project file on Gumroad if you'd like to see how I lit and textured it!

[@Dalfygaming]

thanks bro its amazing for that i subscribe you

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the sub it means a lot! 🙏🙏🙏

[@mickymehta4545]

Thank you so much Sir..!!!

[@eyedesyn]

Most welcome!

[@pizzeo]

Hey EJ I bought the file off gumroad. how can I change the letters from "TYPE" to something custom? I watched the tutorial a few times and it seems it's because you made them an object but the text part is still there in the remesh. I turned it on but Does that mean I have to start from scratch? Great tutorial!

[@jameswilkinson150]

Trying this with C4D 2024 and at around 7:00 you can move/scale/rotate but mine will only scale. Pretty weird TBH.

[@lucasburrows8830]

dope

[@imrenagy8122]

Amazing.

[@eyedesyn]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@zoea4781]

Your tutorial is great. I've purchased the project file but It didn't open. Is there anything I have to do? I'm a super beginner C4D user, running S22. Please help. Thank you.

[@eyedesyn]

On Gumroad I list the version compatiblity - S22 is too old to use this new functionality in

[@Christopher-e4f2m]

wonderful, mate. Thank you. Any reason my Balloon tag doesn't have the vertex map option? Surface and Mix Animation do but not the Balloon.

[@eyedesyn]

It's because you need to be on the latest version of C4D for that feature!

[@KidABC-oe5yj]

TYPE

[@atefhossam9505]

The first linear fiels isn't deflating like shown in the tutorial. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@saschageier]

do have the same problem

[@adeliiaguriashkina9615]

I have the same problem. Have you already solved it ?

[@charlyhoyle9680]

I'm in R25 and the polygon islands command will not execute 😭 is anyone else having this issue? I clicked "remesh" -> current state to object and the object has the dot icon with the volume builder nested so I think that's why but not sure how to get around this?

[@NessaRales]

How could I explode it later? Thanks!

[@privato3232]

I purchased the project file, how do I change the text?

[@Babyvanillacrayons]

hey your tutorial skipped over how you made the font color pink. Please help

[@vietpham7511]

Hi. I'm a C4D newbie and I have a question: How can I move the text that already has simulation (position/rotation)?

[@vetal343]

and how to do the same in r23. Without tag ballon.

[@controversmusik9685]

I havnt the option „balloon“ in my simulation Tags .. how can i get it ?

[@markmark3674]

I can't find the balloon tag in the simulation tags

[@anitauzoije6459]

So I was trying this out, looked away for some time and now my objects are invisible. They show in the objects manager but not in the viewports and I don’t know what to do. SOMEONE HELP! Please!

[@eyedesyn]

[@yin-liao]

Hey EJ! Thank you for making this, I'm so excited to make this. However, I tried to follow this tutorial, but I'm stuck at 8:23, adding the Balloon simulation tag. My version of c4D (25.121) doesn't show Balloon, when I right click on the objects and hover over Simulation Tag. I tried Googling why but it doesn't show up either. Wondering if you might have some insight! :)

[@eyedesyn]

So the whole reason for that is you're not using the latest version of C4D - in C4d 2023.2.0 it will show those settings!

[@yin-liao]

@@eyedesyn I updated it and it's there now. Thank you so much for responding so quickly, you're the best!!

[@partydynamite]

Hi EJ! My Cinema 4D R26 doesn't have the Balloon simulation. has this moved? How can I access it?

[@giuliazorzal819]

Same problem, did you find the solution?

[@jOrg3betO]

The balloon tag is no longer in cinema 4D R25 right? I just cant find it.

[@eyedesyn]

No its still there, just moved!

[@Atmospirit]

I need to go down 0.1 with voxel size and still I have jagged edges, why are my voxels are big?

[@eyedesyn]

It's based on the size of your object, so you'll have to adapt the voxel size depending on the scale of your object. MAybe try .01

[@SenaLee]

Thank you, I purchased a file, however, it said that I have a missing plug-in, yet today is my first time ever using Cinema 4D. could you explain what that means?

[@eyedesyn]

What plug in did it say?

[@martinamanfrin2917]

hello, I tried to follow this tutorial but my tag simulation balloon, does nothing... when I hit the play button my object stays like before the tag... do someone know how to solve this problem?? Thank you very much

[@martinamanfrin2917]

and then my whole cinema 4D program crashes so bad that I need to close everything...

[@josepisquiy]

Does this work in C4D R26? I don't have the simulation tag

[@eyedesyn]

I believe the new simulations were added in the version after R26

[@stefanleithner6922]

simulations just never work on my cinema 4d, everything just crashes and lags when I try to add any simukation. don‘t know why.

[@syml2002]

I am always getting an error message "Collision limit exceeded" when I hit play. Has anyone else encountered that issue?

[@eyedesyn]

Make sure your objects aren't intersecting from the get go, also make sure your polygon count isn't SUPER high - you can bring down the mesh density of the Remesh object for that

[@yin-liao]

@@eyedesyn Hello! sorry to bother you again haha but this "Collision Limit Exceeded" is happening to me as well. I set my mesh desnity to 25% in my Remesh Object but still ran into the same problem. Wondering if you might have any insight on this? Thank you!🙏

[@danaanandrewdesign]

it really didn't like the vibrate tag on mine.

[@hardiktandel8037]

what is the name of the material used in fonts

[@eyedesyn]

I show it in the tutorial

[@muzammilhalimov]

Is this okay that my c4d viewport is very slow when I preview it?

[@eyedesyn]

If you have an underpowered computer this will be normal

[@andrewzakharovprod]

Is this supposed to work on 2023 1.2? My fabric curls up as if air is escaping.

[@eyedesyn]

2023.2 fixes a lot of that issue !

[@Tawfikd2020]

I searched for ... Balloon.. And I couldn't find it. "CINEMA 4D R26.107" 7:38

[@eyedesyn]

I have a link to the older tutorial in the description!

[@RockwellProducts]

i want my tote bag!

[@eyedesyn]

Are you using the correct version of c4D?

[@bread_flakeHI]

inflated T is kinda looks like... lol😀

[@lllXRlll]

my letters are getting too deformed and wrinled even when I flllowed every step you did.

[@eyedesyn]

Might need to up the inflation amount or reduce the amount of rest length so there less slack in the sim

[@user32352]

damn no ballon in r23

[@omerfarooq2950]

man there is no balloon tag in my c4d, wth

[@eyedesyn]

Balloon was added with the new simulation system in version R26/2023. If you don't see it it means you're on an older version
