CINEVERSITY

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

You're very welcome, smckenzie.

Think of the most straightforward formula as the number 1, in other words, replace the formula with 1. This is then the same as the Plain Effector.
The one stands for 100% of the Parameter in the Effector.

When you explore the Variables in the interface, you might get some ideas already: use the id/count to have values from zero to 1 applied to clones with the id zero to id max.

That should be all for the beginning. Let it sink in.

All the best

Hi background-permit,

I'm not aware of such an option.

I have no idea about the objects that serve as surfaces, but could it be possible to manually create groups of these Roses and have them always in the same size while rotating and randomly distributing them?

The other option would be to create a specific "polygon-matrix" and then scale it to the polygon size.

Both options are here:

Perhaps create a third version, a mix of the two.

Again, if that can be projected or used with the surfaces you have in mind, it is not to my knowledge.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing, schnoidl!

Yes, I see and feel the fun in it. Well done.

Hi city-surgery,

There are two things you need to know:

First, saving incrementally and autosaving might help here.

But, as long as the Ai file is linked, it will read its current state when opening it. So, if any changes happen to the Ai file, that might show.

Since this is hard to reproduce, I don't ask for a file.

But safe incremental (Illustrator and Cinema4D). It might be beneficial at one point.

All the best

Hi kariomart.

N-Gons are great for modeling; after that, they should go.

With the Remesh Generator, we have a great and fast way to produce lovely meshes for a wider variety of objects. Is that always working? It depends. Trial and error from time to time, sure.

Anyway, please have a look here.
CV4_2024_drs_24_RSdp_11.c4d

Compare the results when rendering the scene. The scale will change if you move the time slider; frame 30 is perhaps a good starting point. I think the object on the right will clearly show the minimum quality. It's the same material and the exact same RS Object Tag. Just the underlying polygon setup differs.

All the best

Hi history-growth,

Please have a look here:
CV4_2024_drs_24_ANap_03.c4d

Perhaps a sketch or even a storyboard would help to see what your target looks like.

Several options are certainly possible depending on what you like to have and how you edit the clip.

The Bend deformer (and perhaps just the Voronoi Fracture would be the simplest way, and besides anything Simulation-based, I believe using Joints would be the more complex but eventually the more detailed approach. For a professional production, where often uncounted revisions are done when the peel would be the focus point of a take, then Joints might work best.

Yes, with tears, we have seen a few results of little rough shapes fly away, but peels tear so rough, and their edges depend on the cut. In my example above, I would assume to use an Alpha channel to define a more "natural" shape than the rectangle. With the inverted Alpha, the remainders would be defined.

Cheers
