Hi there,

As you might have noticed, I never stop answering, even when I take some days off.

The next 9 days will differ as I'm part of the annual Maxon Summit.

I keep an eye on the forum, but for my own sake, I will have no computer with me, just an iPad. If I can help, I will do it.

Sorry for all the inconvenience that might cause.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, entry newspaper.

My best wishes for your project.

Please note that we have a company-wide Summit over the next nine days, starting tomorrow, so I will be less likely to be online.

My best wishes for your project

Hi sign-mission,

R13 was released in 2011, 14 years ago.

Standard Particles are different now, and the R13 Standard Particles are now Standard Particle Legacy.
Sorry, I do not have R13 installed anymore. You might explore Thinking Particles for this.

I assume you have no subscription, which is why you have no access here.
This forum is for Site Problems only.

My best wishes.

P.S.: Perhaps this works for you.

I have animated the Slider for the PoseMorph to demo the results.
Please note that there might be limitations even if you can go negative and/or above 100%.

Hi Olivier,

Please share a c4d file, below 1MB can be attached here. Images do not tell me a lot.

What is a Sweep Collider?

If the file is bigger, please only (!) Dropbox, Wetransfer, Google, Apple or Adobe Clouservices. Please upload the file not compressed (zip/rar, etc) and paste the full URL here, no tiny URL, no HTML wrapper. Thank you!

Cheers

All the best

Hi entry-newspaper,

Enjoy the introduction. Please know that it is just the very basic of it. It needs time and practice, so please allow time to sink in.

Quoting (freely) my friend Noseman to use Scene Nodes – a very good and deep knowledge of the options that can be done in the Object Manager is required.
It might be preferable if it can be done in a non-Node mode.

I haven't counted the Scene Nodes, but it is worth reviewing the manual.

In summary, this is far from intuitive. From my point of view, those are technical director options that are less designed for artists (regarding intuitive use).

I have not decided how far I can support this, as some questions might require days of construction, going by solutions from Rocket Lasso, for example. My ideal would be an extra forum even. Which I will discuss hopefully next week when we are all meeting to exchange ideas.

About your second question.

Press play for the file below to shape something and have a perfect Spline drawing. Adjust the Keys in the F-Curve accordingly. I have looked at the time, so selecting the two inner or outer keys allows you to change those (up or down)

When the shape is right, use the Current State To Object to get the Spline as an object. This is the fastest way I can think of, and I have explored several methods during the past hours.
The playhead stops because I have set it to run only once. To start over, it needs to be set to frame zero.

Cheers

Hi entry-newspaper,

The problem here would be the missing option to bool. There is no Boole node or MoGraph Node (Spline Step comes to mind). Spline Mask is a bool function, and to my knowledge, it is not supported in Scene Nodes. The data needs to be defined, then assembled, and turned into the object you need.

I suggest using this series from start to finish if you don't have it already. It gives a fairly good impression of how to produce information and how things become an object on end, for example.

Hi there,

Please share any problems (or solutions that you found) with Maxon's tech-support.

Thank you!

This is the Site Problem Forum. Not the right place for this.

Cheers

Thank you very much for your nice reply, quiet-refuse.

My best wishes for your project!

Hi Mike,

I will do!

Thanks again!
