Floating Cloth Effect In Cinema 4D

[@natazer]

Motion designer for 20 years now. A lot of my projects rely on tuts like this saving me hours and hours trying to figure something like this out. I have the utmost respect and appreciated for people who share content like this. Back in the day you had to order books and DVD's, or ask an old curmudgeon colleague and hoped they were cool enough to share their knowledge. Thank you!

[@lukasthorup]

Thank you so much, it means a lot 🔥

Hey man I have just found your channel , I was just losing interest in c4d and felt very jaded its been more than 12 years being in this field , dealing with clients and work pressure has left a sour taste in my mouth .This channel has again some how rekindled my love for motion graphics and c4d , thank you so much.

[@theoryfound]

Still my go to cloth tutorial even with Cinema 4D 2023. Cheers mate.

[@lukasthorup]

Awesome 🙌

[@Sketchyvisuals]

Man I never even thought about using a cloth with field forces, love it!

[@lukasthorup]

Hey man, love you vids. Glad I could help

[@dkmorphey]

Damn, Man! you are awesome!!! working on a client project which included some cloth in it and was looking for animation on youtube to inspire me and you gave me that!!!

[@24aitech]

Greate thing thanx! Will do. It would be maximum cool if there will be any chance to explain specs you enter, It great when there is a possibility to understand them while practicing

[@VipinM7]

thanks pal it would have been great if you could have shared lighting and rendering also

[@Dcgame]

Thank you so much for this tutorial !! it really helped me understand one way of playing around with cloth sims !! One thing I wanted to ask though, the sim looks really nice but there is something super important in my opinion that is missing, which would really make that sim perfect : the self collision. I tried to play around with it in the cloth tag within the expert tab, but I lose that cool silk feel of the cloth when floating (plus, the self collision in expert tab make the mesh cross each other anyway at some place of the plane) I was wondering if you had any idea on how to make it look nice, keeping that silky smoothnes of the sim while having a self collision ? thanks again for the video !!

[@lukasthorup]

Thanks for the comment Oussama. I have heard that other people have the same problem. The tutorial has some bumps and caveats, but I think the solution to the problem is to use the new and improved cloth simulation in cinema R26. I know that for some people this isn't ideal but in the way that cinema works i don't think you have any other options.

[@MotionDesigner009]

hey can you please help me, I cannot find this wind forces setting, its just empty block, Im using r26

[@Ahmed1234603]

i love it thank you so much!

[@IskandarAl-j9y]

Hello, please give me an analysis of shading and light in cinema4d

[@adamverhasselt9508]

Epic tutorial, thank you

[@kspmn]

Just found your channel, and it rocks!

[@serjforsage695]

Coool!!! Thank You so much!!! You BEST!

[@lukasthorup]

Thanks dude 🙏

[@AoiSyuuto]

LETTTSSS GOOOO!! I was waiting for this!!!

[@lukasthorup]

I am so glad to hear mate ;)

[@adamfilipowicz9260]

Works even better with S26 Cloth engine

[@Vogueeeeee]

how is your animation so smooth even upon iterating it? mine slumps to like 1fps and im running a thread ripper and a 2080ti!

[@Shono95]

Hello. I do everything like in class. But my fabric doesn't fly. It just moves in one place. What to do? I check again and again, I'm doing everything right.

[@aeon7195]

Hey really awesome tutorial!! so, how do you avoid self collision?

[@hoaeto2180]

Thank you very much, we hope to Tech us hoe to apply this effect for a curtain

[@AB-mv1mb]

Thank you for making such nice tutorials 🙏🙏

[@aaalbusteiuvlad]

Hi Lukas, congrats for what are you doing in this industry. I am new in C4d and i have different version( latest one), but all the setting look so different, and i am getting stuck!

[@ІринаГаджан]

here the same

[@gustavsrensen177]

Really nice tutorial, thank you!

[@0ldinside]

Thank you, bro, cool tutorial!

[@gfxtutstips4514]

Hi, thanks for this wonderful tutorial. I followed each and every step exactly the way you explained but my cloth starts slowly goes in the center of the attractor and then the attractor pulls it all in the middle very fast the cloth stays in the middle of the attractor with crazy movements. Please help

[@lukasthorup]

Ohh I see, did you make a spherical field around the attractor, and set it to invert

[@gfxtutstips4514]

Yes I did and I kept the values of each and every parameter exactly the same as you did. Now I am trying to control it with Attractor force, in start it's value is high and after 20-30 frames I am bringing it down.

[@slavvian_marine]

Damn! Thank You so much! Keep them coming! (...if possible)

[@lukasthorup]

Sure dude, just glad I could help 😉

[@iftekhermorshed2357]

Thanks a lot for a cool tutorial on Cloth. If I want the cloth don't penetrate in it while flying, is it possible? Does turning on the "self-collision", solve the issue?

[@lukasthorup]

Yeah self collision helps

[@negartavakol9188]

@Lukas Thorup Please please please please I just wanna know how I can make this move around a slender I need to know how can I make it move around a line I draw

[@effortmax]

Amazing one. Thank you!

[@Teleport30206]

very easy and quick, thanks!

[@anhtunguyen5441]

thanks for your tutorial, what version of c4d can this tutorial ?

[@lukasthorup]

I'm using S24

Very good tutorial! Thank u very much)

I really thank you !!!

This Tut geht into my brain....

[@adamfilipowicz9260]

Awesome thanks!

[@traegami]

nice one, how did you get the crease/pleats?

[@lukasthorup]

I made a material that took care of the small creases. People have been asking me this a lot, so I'm gonna make a tutorial on it

[@traegami]

@@lukasthorup oh thanks, cannot seem to get it right.

[@ІринаГаджан]

in the c4d 2023 the cloth tag looks very different, I could not finish the lesson.

[@colincreytens5331]

turn on legacy solver in basic

[@mvp4168]

great tutorial

[@bogscave]

Omg, the new c4d looks so good

[@lukasthorup]

Me too, I love the new look

[@desertrose1996]

Please provide us with your rendering setup .. is a 4g rtx enough to render out a similar scene within a reasonable timeframe?

[@lukasthorup]

Yeah it should be, it took me 1min per frame, with a RTX 2060

[@AntonioManaligod]

So this may be a dumb question. But every time I try to connect these elements into one object (I just want to create static cloth objects from the simulation) I'm unable to move it. Is there a better way to consolidate all of the elements into something like a static object?

[@lukasthorup]

You could try backing it as and alembic, and then just turn off animation in the alembic settings

[@calque_deffets7436]

Thank you so much 💖

[@CamComLIVE]

Brilliant!

[@davidepezza8961]

Thanks

[@laforni5489]

ouch... is impossible to make it in r19 right? i try to follow in attractor, but i cant see some options!

[@lukasthorup]

I think it is, sorry dude. It's the damn cinema ghost, that's on the loose again

[@laforni5489]

@@lukasthorup no worries! thanks for reply!

[@denniskarnilsen]

Thank you a lot!!!

[@allenw9746]

Is this possible to make it follow a path?

[@lukasthorup]

Yeah, you can use a belt tag to do it

[@o.joyedola8414]

#AriaFaithJones ... Can this be achieved with blender

[@TheEpicAB]

Is there a way to do this in R19?

[@pvolikov9164]

Thank you

[@nitromusik9275]

Im not sure why you added a field force. It would have had no effect.

[@necessaryHUNTER9262]

f..k ilooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@raretype3979]

can i make it to move in a certain way somehow?

[@lukasthorup]

You can use splines in a field force to make the cloth follow the spline

[@zariniy4490]

cool, but very difficult to keep track of what you're doing on the screen

[@lukasthorup]

Noted, I'll try to be better. Thanks for the feedback 😊

[@andrearusky]

yes I think the desktop resolution is too high and if you watch this video on a small screen 1080P you can't really see the UI
