      Hello
      I'm trying to follow this tutorial by Noseman here
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F82AuduoN_g
      But when I set it up the way he did, I have no result at all. Is there something that could have changed in the new release of C4d? I'm using 2024

      Thanks!

        Hi AlexC,

        It didn't change, I asked Noseman, just to have a first hand information for you. Would you mind sharing your file (last iteration), so I can take a look.

        All the best

            Thank you, AlexC.

            I did the tutorial three times just to see if I got the same result, and going through it at one point, I missed this step, which led to the same result you have in your file.

            Funnily, it happened to me the second time while I thought I had all the steps. I mention that as it is so easy to miss one step, as I have seen it over the years in questions here.

            The best way for me is to watch and write a list of steps down. Because that list is faster to reproduce, I can put checkmarks on it. I have wondered for a while if such a list at the end of each tutorial would be supportive.

            Here is your file with the edited two ports to the Object back

              Ah!!! Thanks so much Sassi, indeed a small mistake but a critical one.

              Thank you again!

                Thanks for the reply, AlexC.

                Yes, I guess it is something that is only too common. I believe there should be something on the training side to improve that. I will explore this phenomenon.

                This simple setup should be a ready-to-use Capsule in the Asset Browser. I have no idea why Noseman has not placed it there already.

                BTW: Have you used a Sphere as the first object? 🙂

                My best wishes
