CINEVERSITY

OK, thanks for the feedback, Chris Villa,

How about this:

Hi DarkGreyMatter,

Please have a look here,

CV4_2023_drs_23_RSle_01.c4d

I have two spheres included, just in case. Images tell a little bit, but typically they don't give the whole story. I like project files. They work, or they don't.

The Transmission Slider in the Light makes the difference.

.
Please share for future questions a project file. Thank you.

If you think that should be done with the Exclude list, please check with Tech Support.

Please note that the following Monday is a holiday in some countries, so Tech Support might not be fully staffed.

All the best

Hi Mike,

Please share a file. IF the size is too large for the forum, then please Dropbox, Google, Apple, Adobe or Wetransfer.

Cheers

Hi Emre,

Call up a Null, while the Null must sit in the center (position zero, rotation zero, Scale 1.). Then place all your objects under the Null.

Now you can move the Null and, if needed, set keyframes to that Null.

Let me know if that works for you. If you can, share a c4d file, which can be an example file, so I can see what you have done and suggest the best practice. Just in case the workflow above isn't working,

My best wishes for your project.

You're very welcome, AlexC!

My best wishes for your project.

Hi drama-comfortable,

Have you explored the UV projection setup that I have shared above?

Perhaps, send him an email, and check what his/her plans are to update the plug-in.

I rarely make plug-in suggestions for the very reason that they might be faster EOL than one get really used to those. No question some are excellent.

All the best

You're welcome, BigRED.

I hope the tech support has a solution for you.

If I get something that isn't working as I think it should, I open a new project file and start from scratch. If that doesn't work, I restart the whole thing. Yes, that should not be needed, but being a tester of our software, this is the best way to check if something is reproducible, which is an important step toward solving it down the road.

My best wishes!

Hi week-floor,

This would require converting the Lights, Camera, and Render-Settings.

I have not heard about any converter that would do this.

Perhaps check out if some materials from the Asset Browser can be used.

Sorry, I'm also not aware of any tutorial about it.

A nice introduction to Redshift 3D is here.

Thanks for the feedback, williheat.

Hi shine-negative,

This is one of those cases where I have to ask to contact the tech-support. I can't reproduce it here for the IPR.
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

Let me know if I do something that you don't or vice versa:
https://stcineversityprod02.blob.core.windows.net/$web/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2023_Clips_DRS/RS_IPR_cont_2023-2_RV-ipr.mp4

OR do you mean the RS Render View? There I would have no idea how to stop that.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, Greg.

Another thank you for watching the show!

Enjoy your weekend

Thanks for the feedback, miss-bear.

Great! Thanks for the feedback.

I hesitated with the UV suggestion, as that is not just a general do-this-do-that suggestion. In other words, if you have a UV solution, like UV Packaging, those can't be just rotated (well, sometimes, sometimes not). Hence why I always ask for a project file.

All the best

Thanks for the feedback, FUSER.

This is not fun, of course. I understand. I support your request here!
I have made another feature request about it. My first one was done when FaceBook enabled gltf. So, quite a while ago.

Please use the Suggestion option, "Share Your Idea", to voice your needs here. Thank you very much!

All the best

Hi miss-bear,

You haven't specified what render engine you like to use.

Here is an example (left_lower) for the Standard Render, while using an RS Ramp in Redshift requires some UV work (right lower).

I have two options in the top row using Vertex-based setups, manually weighted or via Field, both Redshift 3D.

I hope one will work for you.

Thanks for the reply, Dutchbird.

Hi nasty-command,

I know the differences between silk and satin, but perhaps the Asset Browser helps with the search term "Satin".

The key is certainly to have Sheen into the mix.

https://help.maxon.net/r3d/cinema/en-us/Default.htm#html/Standard_Material.html#StandardMaterial-Sheen

Use an OpenEXR HDRI in the Dome light, preferably one of the newer items of the Asset Browser. Without proper light, these kinds of fabric will not work well.

Cheers

Hi fordmar,

How about making it much simpler than that?

Having had my fair share of racing discussions with drivers I supported as a mechanic or photographer, I'm familiar with Ideal-Line, which is an optimal path along a racetrack. One goes a little bit on the opposite side first to widen the curve radius, then gently breaks more and more and tightens the radius while accelerating, leaving the curve.

Below is a simplified version of that. But it is the fastest version. Just the swinging that one might expect. Note that cars do the opposite, while the driver often counters that move with the head. So it is a discussion of what view is provided. Motorcycles do the opposite. So, I understand that the ideas about this are split.

If the opposite is needed, drag the blue Spline below and adjust the camera accordingly.

I have copied one of the Splines that describe the path and set it to B-Spline while placing it higher.
This is used in a new Camera Rig as a Rail Path (Tangential is on).
The Interpolation "Number" for all splines has been increased to 24 points to make it smoother.

I have placed a cube as a child on the camera to showcase the new motion more clearly. This object can be deleted.
Adjust the 'blue" Spline as needed.

My best wishes for your project

Hi reading-card,

The key problem would be that the Polygon where the Root is will be lifted. Hence the results look somewhat chaotic.
If you could connect the points of the hair instances with the "main body", then the Polygon would be inside of it. Meaning you have three polygons sharing a single edge. This will not provide excellent results.
There is, of course, the idea of having two "main bodies" animated in the same way, preferably via PLA.
With this, one would have the Root information, and the other would receive the results. However, the Hair instances are generated, and I'm unclear on how to combine them and have those working with SDS.

Hence my suggestion with the Joint Rig.

Cheers

Yes, nasty-command,

If I understand your target correctly, I think we moved a big step forward. Perhaps even to provide what you were asking for in the first place.

It pains me often to know that there is something "cooking," but I'm not allowed to spoil the surprise. Even the artists asking for it need it right now.

I hope you have some time to explore a fresh copy of the new release.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply, MaverickMongoose,

Typically I would ask to send a feature request in. But as with anything that can change, like the parameters of a "Primitive Object", that is difficult to define.
The only hope is that our UV (gradient) map in one material system will find its way to Red Shift one day.

All the best
