Pitchi

Hi !
On Maxon website i've seen this video : https://youtu.be/bf16pL2901Y
there are some a tutorial to do it, and explain how it work? or the cinema 4D file?

Thanks

Hi Pitchi,

The interaction Tag is not a Morphing Option. The changes in the example video are based on the rig's setup.

The Selection tag uses the "mouse" information to drive specific actions in the scene.

Below is the introduction video and the manual page. The manual has two examples that work (I just tested both). However, some entries are not in English. If you need some translation, let me know which words you need. I'm happy to help.

The introduction video

The manual
https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/?_gl=1glhj6o_gcl_au*MTQ5NzQ3MDQ5MS4xNzEyMzQzNjY2#Resources/Scenes/038057.c4d

Please note that this is a decade-old option, and C.O.F.F.E.E. (a C4D scripting language) has been retired for quite some time now.

All the best

Pitchi

thanks you replying my question and specifically about the morph, there are video showing morph and controllers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efuo4vW9_8Q but are there a fully tutorial showing the entire workflow to do morphs, controllers and tag interaction? like with the characters we seens in the videos

Thanks you

Hi Pitchi,

Yes, those are some very nice concepts, and I'm unaware we have anything in-depth about them, perhaps something super old…

Hence, I made a little 20 sec clip explaining the demo file below

Besides the Driver tag, it might be the one you are looking for

This is a translator between the Vector User Data field (the square with the dot in it) to drive the PoseMorph.

These few elements might need a few hours of training series to go from zero to comfortable, something I can't do in the forum. That would be dozens of pages of the Manual quotes.
My tip for now is to go to the Asset Browser, take all the available Character Animation examples, and explore their setup.

I hope that does not sound lazy (even though we have a holiday here in the US), but I hope the examples help get you started.
Tip: For example, Sporty has some user data set up for the face.

All the best

Great Thanks you !

Dr. Sassi

You're very welcome, Pitchi.

Happy exploring!
