CINEVERSITY

Hi nopopoch,

I'm often torn between simulation/dynamics and manual animation. Hence, I checked which one might work better. Sometimes it is a mix.

The main question would be whether splitting the headband into three parts would be the better solution. Inside the Hard-Plastic elements, perhaps just a modeled strap part is static.

As a side note, the hard plastic parts may need some attention. Optimize them to get it in one piece, then use the Remesher and have for each object. They can't be connected as one object if they need to float in space.

I have set up two simplified scenes.

Each uses a Vertex Map to define areas with more or less bendiness.

The idea in the file "02" was to use the Connector as stabilization based on two elements that will not be shown.
A torus here represents the Hard Plastic part. I'm not confident that this is the best way to go. I see it as "swimming".

The file "11" also used the stabilization square as a Belt base. I have used just a Vibrator Tag here to create the motion.
This allows for a more direct art direction, which is a priority for me. But yes, the band itself works as well as Cloth.

Here are the two files; I'm sure there are a few more options and combinations. But I hope that helps you find your favorite setup.

Yes, cross-roll.

Thanks again!

Hi Florian,

Thank you for your reply.

If possible, please project files; images are very limited in information and more of an additional help. Over the past two decades, it has shown clearly whether a file works (except the problem is outside of the file, e.g., hardware problems…)

Project files as ".c4d" can be uploaded directly (below 1MB, and images with a height of max 500 pixels)

My best wishes

Thanks a lot, Georg, for the reply.

I can check a file here if you share one, just with a cube in it, attached as ".c4d" file

My best wishes

Hi TimLitos,

Images need to be 500 pixels high (max). Sorry about that.

Perhaps check with support: https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

I have no answer right now nor enough data to trigger any idea. Way back in time, there was a Tweak function/option that allowed for something similar, but that is now only available in PenTool.

All the best

Thanks for the feedback, cross-roll.

Yes, please feel free to open as many new forum threads as you need. I'm happy to look into them.

Cheers

Thank you for your input, Dutchbird.

We spend a lot of time "living" on the screen in front of us, and I have the same feeling; if someone comes along and paints that "space" I'm living in with unwanted colors and places stickers on my door, I would feel uncomfortable. Similarly to that is our screen space. We have many hours per day that are our "space".

I surely understand that changes are not trivial.

I hope we can get this working for you.

As a trainer, I have to stay in standard mode so as not to throw people off with my idea of an interface, so customization is typically my weak spot.

Anyway, it is just data, and I can work with that. I just need time.

Cheers

You're very welcome, Jef.

It is quite an exciting challenge, and I'm sure some genius plug-in developer might figure something out for those special cases.

I will try to write a request that expresses this need.

We had similar things in the past, every other year, though.

All the best

Perfect, thanks for the feedback, Pitchi.

My best wishes for your Project.

Great that is works for you, MaverickMongoose.

My best wishes

You're very welcome, Sweeping Motion.

Have a great day

You're very welcome, MaverickMongoose.

Have a great start to your week

Thank you, MaverickMongoose, for the quick find and for informing me that no further actions are needed.

Thank you as well for the file.

Sorry, I had to check the file.
Yes, that light source is bright

If you use a ramp, perhaps use UV.

Thank you very much for the feedback, crylrueg.

Have a great Sunday!

Hi Antonio, thank you very much for the feedback.

Let me know if there is anything else. Please put it in a new thread/post if it is a new topic.

We have a long weekend (Monday included) here, but I have an eye on the forum!

Enjoy your project

Thanks for the reply, smckenzie,

Sweeping is an "extrusion" along a path, not a "cloning" along a path.

Perhaps you set up a Plane and use that as a clone matrix, etc.

An example is here:

Switch all object to active.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks for the feedback, Rough1.

Have a great weekend

You're very welcome, thanks for the reply, chicke-remote.

Have a good one.

You're very welcome, nothing-tennis.

My best wishes for your project

Hi Rough1,

Sorry that it takes so long.

The tech support files a report, and that goes to the developers. There, it is handled, and I have no idea what I can do here for you, as I certainly have no say in what they do first or last. Well, sometimes I wish, of course.

I understand that should be fixed ASAP, and I would not be happy about it when this is needed. Fingers crossed, it is included in the "drop."

Here in the Forum, I can't do anything for you. Sorry.

All the best
