Rope Dynamics Tutorial - Create Twisting Ropes With New Simulation System in C4D S26

Hey, I'm Derek Kirk aka Effectatron. In this tutorial we take a look at the new Cinema 4D Rope Dynamics tag and the Rope belt tag as well as the sweep, tracer, matrix, and more to create a twisting rope as well troubleshoot common rope dynamic problems and more. By the end of this C4D beginner tutorial you will be able to create and control your own ropes with ease.

THANKS A LOT

[@design.alexander]

Thanks for this! You should be able to throw your original rope into a cloner, dial it in to the number you want and then Make the Cloner editable (in INSTANCE MODE) and you'll get a Null full of your rope objects.

[@DanHildebrand91]

When I do this, the "Top" and "Bottom" nulls aren't in the Rope hierarchy after making the cloner editable, for some reason. Even though they are in the original Rope hierarchy

[@Pathfinder_tua]

Does anyone know how tonset rope initial state? I cant find anything anywhere.

[@joshchilders1]

Put all your splines in a connect obj sweep that and the cloner will work

[@effectatron]

Excellent!

[@spoonci_nata]

My ropes are never stiff. They always add extra length and stretches from the very beginning. Even tho all stretching parameters are off on rope tag and spline is uniform with just a few units. Any advice? Thanks a lot

[@rewwhiskas4234]

might be too many points..

[@fenomeen2152]

Yow I have an issue my rope bounces back when it lands on the plane. I tried reducing all the bounce to 0 but it didn't work. does anyone have the same problem ?

[@royalicecream]

one of my rope colliders doesn't follow the bottom null and i can't seem to figure it out. does anyone have a solution?

[@effectatron]

Sometimes you may need to double check that you got all the end points connected to your rope belt. You can reselect the, and inside the rope belt hit release and clear then hit set to make sure you connected them all up. Should be a a yellow line or dot on each rope end.

[@reach4]

hey, so have you come up with any proper way of having the rope sims in a helix shape locked, then to be pulled out straight, i cannot seem to get any of them settings to replicate this. Any feedback on this would be super helpful =) thanks for a great video mate ;)

[@effectatron]

Haven't tried it. GreyscaleGorilla Just released a youtube tut on twisting rope, haent watched yet but might help

[@saltacme]

420 laugh was epic ;)

[@Radscience]

It's "polish iterations" as in "I'm polishing my car" not Polish as in "let's go eat some Polish food" lol
