"Looks like Houdini!" Cinema 4D 2023.1 Cloth Vertex Map Wave Effect

Hi Creatives,
I finally learned how to use vertex maps in a really clever way to transition from state 1 to state 2 and then back to state 1 again. This opens up so many possibilites for crazy effects with materials, displacement or the cloth engine!
I´m also really excited about the new simulation capabilities that come with Cinema 4D 2023! Let´s try to fool some folks in the internet, and pretend we created something cool in Houdini;-).
We can do that, because the Cloth Engine in Cinema 4D 2023 is really strong and fast. It´s just so much better then in previous versions and opens up a whole new level of possibities if you want to stay in Cinema 4D and don´t know how to use Houdini and Vellum.
With this technique you can easily turn every object into cloth.

Wow, I'd love to see an extended lesson on composition on the preview

[@JordEmery]

Me too ! This one is too short while is it so great :D Thanks 3DBonfire

[@3DBONFIRE]

I just uploaded the 40min extended version on patreon. But I can upload another short bonus lesson about the simple additional coming in AE next week on patreon👍

[@StaysickMusic]

thank you so much for your videos, I have learned so much from your channel

[@3DBONFIRE]

Thats cool that I was able to teach you some tricks 👍☺️

Thanks Evan☄️

[@agadilov95]

And right now would like to subscribe to your Patreon. Waiting for a salary. Your lessons will be my first thing which i bought on there.

[@3DBONFIRE]

Thank you for your support🔥👍

[@daniliscariot8663]

ok i created a vertex map 03 upload it to the Cloth tag and it disappears for me there is no such effect as in the video, I already tried everything I found another way how to achieve a similar wave effect, but yours is better

[@3dranz]

Wow, This is an amazing tutorial and can you do this stuff in R26?

[@apixel.content]

great stuff, can you watch the extended version in your patreon for the $5 tier or is it only for the $18 tiers? Thank you!

[@3DBONFIRE]

Its for Knights tier, yes. Most tutorials are in the highest tier...

[@3DBONFIRE]

Thank you👍

[@mitch4248]

Hey Markus, first of all, thanks for the great tutorials, really appreciated. So I just became a patreon of you to check the more detailed version of this tutorial but unfortunately the Enthusiast level doesn't cover it. I figured out the jiggle and cloth stuff and I wanted to loop it but I can't get it to work. The second vertex map and field aren't doing anything. Any chance you can point me in a direction? Would really appreciate it!

[@3DBONFIRE]

Just upgrade to Knights tier and write me a message on patreon. Then I can give you a refund for the upgrade👍

[@mitch4248]

Okay never mind, I was stupid. Renaming the tags is really important! :D So I got it now, with cloth and jiggle and everything nice but I can't get it to go back to it's initial state. It's always a tiny little bit off. Maybe you have an Idea? Thanks again and please keep the tutorials coming!

[@mitch4248]

@@3DBONFIRE Oh wow, that would be absolutely awesome. Will do, thanks a lot man!

[@LittleWittleKitty]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. One question, how do I get the effect we have created here to react with the cloth sim? Should the vertex map just effect it automatically?

[@3DBONFIRE]

Uff, I don't understand the question completely...I thought that I show this in the Video 🤔

[@LittleWittleKitty]

@@3DBONFIRE okay sorry, so after we play with the vertex maps + fields, your video skips to After effects and final render. I have applied my cloth sim tag but failed to get the wave effect to react. Is there something else I should be doing?

[@Mucharyan]

@@LittleWittleKitty You need a vertex attribute tag in the shader graph, not sure how to get it to go back though.

[@LittleWittleKitty]

@@Mucharyan thank you!!

[@ernestchua6836]

@@LittleWittleKitty hello I have a similar issue, the cloth tag in R26 doesn't have the option for mix animation/fields. Have you found a way to get past it?

[@BrainGrapes]

great video as always. any chance of any X-Particles Octane tutorials in the near future?

[@3DBONFIRE]

There could be a big chance in the next weeks

[@BrainGrapes]

@@3DBONFIRE that would be amazing, i started using x-particles 2 years ago around the time you uploaded your donut video and it really helped kickstart my 3D design career. There's not too many people out there who make X-Particles with Octane videos, so i look forward to seeing what you do in the future

[@Honrar01]

Hello, I'm thinking of paying your patreon, but I have a doubt Do you have any tutorials on how to create materials in redshift on your patron?

[@3DBONFIRE]

Hi Rafael, I just uploaded a new course where its about redshift shaders and there will be another lesson on redshift shaders later this month.

[@ma_bt.hon.]

first ❤❤

[@3DBONFIRE]

Haha, great, thank you. I hope you didn´t knew this lil´trick already.

Hey Marcus, I love your videos and tutorials, but can't subscribe to your Patreon because of some stupid payment issues. I've tried two different accounts and two visa cards but both times there is the same error "You can’t join this creator’s membership.", I really want to support your channel and learn more from you. Is there any solution to this problem?

[@3DBONFIRE]

Oh no:-(...I don't know why this is happing to you. Maybe it's not possible from some countries...? Where are you from? I can ask patreons support team what the issue here

[@3DBONFIRE]

I'm sorry for that🙄

[@armankirakosyan96]

​ @3DBonfire I'm from Armenia, but I already have been subscribed to some other content creators, and everything works normally, but in this case, I can't understand what's wrong, and it really disappointing

[@3DBONFIRE]

@@armankirakosyan96 thats so strange...
