Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be a trivial problem to solve. I could dive into it more but this requires some algorithm rather than a "clever" setup. I spent some time to prompt an AI agent to do it in html - JavaScript and while it appears to work, the results are not nice, proving this is not a simple case of just adding random tiles and then filling the gaps... I will do some more research because it's an interesting topic but have no idea if something will come out of this...
Here's the link to the AI code. Change the Seed for a different layout.

Thanks again

...I need to be able to rotate the independent geometries while keeping the IK.

I'm not sure I understand that.

Wow! I am going to test this setup up in my other scene. I kinda found a work around as well. I ended up Caching the particle sim, then baked the cloner that had a null under the balloons into an alembic. Then I placed the strings under those nulls then did the rope and connector tag. They follow, but wondering if your set up will be even faster and look better. Thanks noseman... Crazy getting help from a celebrity in the C4D community!

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Ha! That's the simplest solution. Thanks!
(I'm still surprised there isn't an option, within the camera guides settings.)

Please report these to Customer Support.

ok, thanks.

thanks !

The Lighting and shading information will not appear in the Alpha channel.
Why don't you just use the Beauty pass in after effects as a Matte?

To do that better, first emit the particles facing the camera by using "Alignment-> forward Vector "Target" and drag the camera.
Then just set the Follow Rotation to 100.

without some sort of project file it's impossible to know what's going on... can you please simplify the project and send a link?

if something seems broken, the best way is to contact customer support.

you only want to colorize this or mix the red GI with whatever your pillar color will be?

This is something you should bring up with tech support...
