CINEVERSITY

Hi entry-newspaper,

I'm unaware of a different way to get the data easier or faster into the Vertex Tag.

Perhaps the Freeze can store those better if they don't change. In the moment they are stored, the selections can be switched off.
You can check the specific processing time in the
Main Menu> Window> Object Profiler.

I can't say more since I have zero data about your setup.

If an example is below 1MB, it can be attached here as a c4d file (never use zip, rar, or anything here in the forum.
Given that the file is larger, I will touch only DropBox, Wetransfer, Google, Adobe, or Apple services for security reasons. Please, no tiny Uad, no zip or rar, e.g., for the upload. The URL is just pasted here, not HTML -hidden Hyperlink. Sorry for the long text, it is all about security.

Enjoy you weekend

Hi selection-it,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad this is working for you.

Have a great weekend as well

Hi hand-army,

Nice that you explore those.

Here is an example that builds closely to the ideas from above but adds some complexity.
CV4_2025_drs_25_MGrb_21.c4d
The Idea of two Bars in one works similarly to the example above, but it needs more combinations (Child) under the cloner.

If you want to mix single bars in it, please also look here.
CV4_2025_drs_25_MGrb_22.c4d
The Top Cloner is set to Random.

The Voronoi Fracture distributes the initial options for the Material. Note: the Source is off!

Please let me know if you have any questions about these setups.

All the best

Thank you for the reply, room-unit.

This is why I typically ask for a file instead of images. Since I do not have a current Insydium license (Too few questions here to justify it), I did not ask.

My best wishes for your project

Hi diet-commission,

If you re-import the FBX to Cinema 4D into a new file (Merge) to see what was written out, is that the same you get in Unity?

Have you used the cogwheel to specify the export options?
The PLA folder must be on the same level as the FBX file.

If all of that was done, and the results are not OK, please contact Tech Support:

Hi David,

Thank you very much for the reply.

Enjoy

Thank you for the reply, smckenzie.

My best wishes

Hi smckenzie,

Thank you very much for the file, and using Apple-Cloud!

The problem is that there is no simple solution in one go.

With the Correction Deformer, I have created a demo to showcase where the connections do not agree, simple geometry problems, not based on the tools. I have set up two cameras to point them out.

In the other file
I corrected the problem points but to the disadvantage of the horizontal "beams".
CV4_2025_drs_25_MOif_11.c4d
I hope that makes sense.

Let me know what shape the final object should have, and I try to find a way, but there are limits in geometry and merge shapes logically.

All the best

You're very welcome, chemical-subject.

My best wishes for your project!

Thank you very much for your feedback, Capprim.

My best wishes for your Project!

Hi Cit, thank so much for sharing this.

Works for me.

My best wishes for your project!

Thanks for the reply, atomician.

Yes, you wrote about the Legacy, but since I write in a forum, I wanted to ensure this was clear for anyone reading along. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

I am glad this is working for you!

Have a great start to your week!

Thank you very much for the reply, Dutchbird.

I'm glad it worked.

Cheers

Hi atomician,

Softbodies rely on a constant mesh; Metaballs don't have that; they get generated for each frame.

The max height of images is 500. However, images do not tell me much. Those are more useful for communication about aesthetic targets, if at all. Project files are the way. Please reduce the file to the question and apply it here as c4D (size below 1MB)
If the size is larger, for security reasons, no zip, no rar, etc. just the file via DropBox, WeTransfer, Google, Apple, or Adobe. The URL is pasted here, not shortened or via HTML. Thank you.

The Softbody Option needs a geometry that is not recalculated for each image. MetaBall recreates this on every frame. Any Dynamic/Simulation will fail fully or to a certain degree. As a side note, that is also true if both values for the MetaBall mesh are equal.

You need to make this editable and use the mesh.

Alternatively, the Cloner receives the Dynamic Tag, while the (Parent ) MetaBall is deactivated, the Dynamic is cached, and the MetaBall is activated. This moves the MetaBalls but does not represent the Dynamic based on their shape; they are only based on the clones.
CV4_2025_drs_25_PAlg_21.c4d

The Volume system has way more power than the MetaBall option, but the limitations are similar in Dynamic/Simulations.

Have a nice weekend

You're very welcome, explanation-combine!

Enjoy your project 🙂

Hi Dutchbird,

Thank you for the extra effort! I got the file!

I have explored several options, even Connectors.

Here is my favorite version.
CV4_2025_drs_25_MOts_11.c4d

To get the scale correct, the "Scene Scale" was set to 2cm, as I go by the contact area, not the bag size. I increased the iteration values a little bit.

The collision surface was quite small, so I placed a bigger one as a child, which is set to invisible.
The Setting of the Collision Shapes is set to triangle for the hook, and Complex for the bag.

The mass of the bag would be 1.0 way too heavy, like it was filled all the way with water. It is, after all, just a bag, so 0.1 might be a good start.

I included a stress test (the Sphere); please delete it when you are fine with the setup.

In the Attribute Manager> Scene> Simulation> Simulation> Draw, you can check on Rigid Body Center and Shape, to see how the Collision Shape works. By the way, leaving it on Auto might work sometimes, but it is typically not advised.

Cheers

All the best

Thank you very much for understanding, chemical-subject.

If you have set up a simple joint IK scene and encounter problems, please always feel free to ask.

Cheers

Thank you very much for the feedback, Capprim!

You're very welcome, selection-it.

Let me know if there is any other direction for this material you like to explore.

Cheers

Sounds like a great and interesting Game, Capprim.

My best wishes for your project.
