Tip - 222: How to create a growth effect in Cinema 4D

[@BakaOctopus]

It was so hard to gasp this when it was released , after a year into c4d basics, I can understand this easily !

[@michaelaforeman3393]

need a more indepth version of this, you start off with something already, how did you get to that point ?

[@nehemiahreginald6810]

sorry to be off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@jonaslandyn6945]

@Nehemiah Reginald instablaster =)

[@nehemiahreginald6810]

@Jonas Landyn thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@nehemiahreginald6810]

@Jonas Landyn It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@jonaslandyn6945]

@Nehemiah Reginald happy to help :D

[@themaybeblock]

How about a link to this project file so we can fully dissect?

[@kristianboserup5163]

pls make complete tutorial on this thanks

[@JayBaggio]

very nice technique and clear teaching thanks!

[@Willopo100]

can this work with octane scatter

[@ranko91287]

Can't bring this to work in R25...What did you do with the Plain Effector. At least it would have been helpful to show that. Also I don't see a Radius Tab in the Freeze Field.

[@petrholusa5855]

What is the difference in that order like freeze in bottom and spherical field on top and opposite?

[@e11world]

I don't see the radius tab in Freeze at 1:10 I'm in R21 or R24 even. Even with the vertex map method same thing. Any idea?

[@bodobanali]

try a rightclick on the „radius“ wich is nested in the „field“ group. there should pop up a dropdown with a „new field“ option

[@changhuihu1466]

Is there a way to make a vertex map only have the growth edge ? try to remap, but doesn't work with animation

[@tricky.pixels]

This would have been great as a complete tutorial including building the objects etc

[@theproperenglishman]

Tricky Pixels building the objects? Wtf? It’s a displaced torus and some matrix cubes...

[@andrearusky]

Very cool! We need more tutorial about these new fields! Wow! So many options and possibilities! By the way can that noise be animated and then fill the whole surface with cloners without leaving those empty patches?

[@MaxonVFX]

Here is some more information on Fields: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGjVZIlplK1jb7c Sure, you can fill the empty patches with other fields. You could add another Freeze Layer, set it to Add and also to Grow. Make the radius a bit smaller and reduce the effect strength in order to slow down the second freeze.

[@alexarenas2492]

Thanks a lot @Maxon. Is there a way to cache this vertex map once the growth animation is set up?!

[@문어그리고초고추장]

gooood ~!

[@xia1096]

its only works in R20? coz im using R21 and it doesnt work

[@GuiEsp]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rdrdrd7777]

Awesome!

[@petrholusa5855]

So what is the best way to control the speed of the growing? By delay? Thanks.

[@Alien47]

Good video thanks.

[@ospyder]

Nice! Thanks

[@welterdavin5486]

beautiful

Fields inside fields! We need to go deeper.

[@steedlei1]

Hi, may I ask how to make growth effect to imported model? I import model from CAD dwg file. Thank you!

[@andrearusky]

i tried to re-create the set up but once I apply the freeze field..nothing happened. Can you show us the whole set up from scratch? what is the planar effector is effecting ? Im assuming you set it to scale the clones to -1? and then the falloff field has a negative (inverse) setting to bring them back to scale 1?

[@FlowmasterVFX]

It works for me that way: Torus: 100, 48, 40, 15 Displacer: Height 60, Noise added, global scale 2000 Matrix object: Mode Object, Torus as object added, Transformation Tab Position Z -15 Plain effector: parameter position Z 16, clamping off Then you can follow the video for the setup With scaling the matrix objects the delay effect will not work.

[@MaxonVFX]

If you applied the Freeze Field and nothing happens, there can be quite a few causes. Do you have a starting point (in this case it's created by the Sherical Field)? Did you set the Freeze Field's Mode parameter to Grow? Did you try increasing the radius (the effect is based on the distance between vertices)? If you already applied the Random Field to the radius, did you try another Seed value? There is also a tutorial on how to create the growth effect (and much more) in the recording of Jonas' presentation at IBC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGjVZIlplK1jb7c

It is working on my iphone

How to get Spherical field ! and Thanx for tip

[@MaxonVFX]

There are three buttons for creating fields beneath the field list. All three are dropdown menus. In the left one you'll find the spherical field.

congratulations

[@TheEpicAB]

Is there a way to do something similar in r19?

[@InfiniteBlue_]

No this is only in r20.

[@arkadygerasimenko4864]

there should be an IQ rating for this madness. like should i even try watching it, thats some outer space math with a rainbow of icons, how is his voice so calm, is he a Nasa program himself? back to extruding nice polygons from a sphere...

[@nuccisimone]

Hi, I tried to replicate the same effect using an animated Vertex map (instead of the spherical field and the random field), but it doesn't work. Does anybody know why?

[@BakaOctopus]

enable data and color icon, or set the vertex layer to max or add

[@nuncatto]

why are my cubes going inwards instead of outwards? I mean, they are shrinking not growing ._.

[@MaxonVFX]

The setup in the Quick Tip started with very small cubes, which were scaled up using the Plain Effector. For inverting the effect, I would go the vertex map way. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGjVZIlplK1jb7c

[@AleckDzn]

Nice! Thanks
