LET'S MAKE THIS! 001 - Glass/Ice Reveal using Vertex Maps and Fields. C4D/OCTANE

It's rough, but I recorded it and it's worth sharing. Audio sucks especially on the 1st third but it gradually gets better. Next ones will be sharper. Please let me know if this was helpful!
@levelbevel on instagram and let me know which effect I should tackle next.

Amazing!! thanks for share. Firts comment ever!! from mexico

[@levelbevel]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the 1st comment!! :D

[@user-we1wz5os8b]

Amazing technique! It caused me so much time to figure out how to make a transition between two different materials in Octane. Most of the tutorials are talking about RedShift..

[@aeon7195]

Amazing! thanks for this tutorial Eena.

[@levelbevel]

Wonderful! Late reply here, but I'm so glad you found it useful. More new tutes over the coming holidays!

[@alfredcassels6036]

Amazing thank you, how would I mirror this in Redshift? Redshift doesn't have mix materials, or at least not that I am aware of, how would I assign the materials to the vertex map in Redshift?

legend. bird eye view 1 deformer, 1 vertex map = art talent not included :)))))

i'm trying to archieve this but with counting numbers....is there a way to keep my number while its counting with this effect?

[@josephxho4720]

Hey, thanks for this tutorial!! But I have a question...everything worked well when I rendered each frame in Live Viewer. However, the vertex map didn't work when rendered in the Picture Viewer. Have you met this problem?

[@danielshevchuk4818]

I have solution for you my friend. First of all you need to delete your "subdivision surface" object from sceene after that just use "Octane object tag" on your main object and you good to go.

[@amanesuzuki7665]

So Lit!! If you can, please tell me the specifications of your PC.(ex. GPU, memory, OS...)

[@levelbevel]

Thank you! I have a custom build PC, a single 1080 GTX, corei7, 24GB ram.

Eena Daou / LevelBevel Thx :)

[@doityourselfpakistan6535]

i have a problem , mine is animating exact opposite like the tours is appering wrinkly and getting to its orignal shape , what to do now :/

[@levelbevel]

Hmm, off the top of my head it seems like it's your vertex map is inverted? Try and get the yellow where the red is and vice versa. Sometimes it gets buggy maybe with vertex maps too, so perhaps start over with a fresh scene. Finally.. this is from a few years ago, new Cinema has been updated a bunch.. perhaps it's a setting that has changed. Hope that helps!

[@doityourselfpakistan6535]

@@levelbevel yea there was a invert tab. I marked it and it got fine thank u

[@levelbevel]

@@doityourselfpakistan6535 awesome! You're welcome.

[@user-ne2yx5dw7v]

after I add a vertex map to the displacer, nothing works

[@papi_papillon]

Had the same problem. At 1:50 I didn't check "use fields" in the Basic tab for anyone else that might have this problem.

[@juniorc1521]

the vertex map keeps crashing my project when i add it

[@levelbevel]

hmmm. Not sure what could be up. You could try re-installing C4d, check the latest updates, or start a new project file and do one step at a time. You might have already done that.. I haven't tried this method in a while, but it's pretty reliable.
