Hi Noseman,

Thank you for sharing your absolutely great knowledge over all these years, I'll definitely miss you here...
Is there any moderator that might take over here? If not, I'm afraid this forum will not make a lot of sense anymore.
That would be great to have a captain on the ship!

All the best for your new channel, I'll follow that with a lot of attention of course.

Cheers,
Arnaud

Same here..
If anybody can help in that..

A little up here for a little help, thanx guys!

Hi there again,

I experienced something quite a bit frustrating..
I have an object, I animate its opacity via the redshift shader node.
On the viewport it shows its animation properly, but when I do a viewport renderer (copy effects from viewport clicked) it doesn't animate it the way it should (in fact there is no animation at all), it just show the actual opacity from the current frame.

This doesn't make any sense to me and I have no clue how to get the same result as I have on my viewport.

Anybody experienced that?

Hi there,

There must be a way, surely.
Let's say I want to align all the highlighted frames (in the blue circles) to the level of the others (moving them down). I can do it manualy, but there is no accuracy, so my values are displaying unwanted value with decimals.. How can I do it with accuracy?

Thanks,
Arnaud

Hi there,

On a large scene, I'd like to find back all my proxies (rs proxies) on some scattered plants.
I imagine I did something wrong, because as soon as I click make editable or click on edit mode (scatter menu), everything just disappears.If I leave my scatters untouch, they display well and render well... The only way I can get some geometry back is by making a current state to object on my scatter object. Connect objects and delete will not work. My idea is to get rid of the scatter object, get the full list of proxies back and then edit it the way I want. Is that still possible?

Thank you for any guidance.

Excellent, exactly what I was looking for! Thanx Athanasios!

Hi there,

I have a CAD model of a complex machine, and I noticed that the rotation axis of each individual group of elements is sometimes different.

I would like to know if there is a way to reset the rotation axis of everything without changing the rotation of the object itself (just the axis not the geometry). It sounds simple, but I’ve been trying to figure it out for quite a while and haven’t been able to.

Thank you in advance for your advice—I would really appreciate it!

Arnaud

Dear Dr Sassi,

This was absolutely the solution I was after.
With a counter-form and easily animated with keyframe.

Thank you so much!

Dear Dr Sassi,

I really appreciate your help, the time you spend to make these examples to make us understand the way C4D works. I was thinking of a loft this afternoon, but had no clue how to animate it in this fashion!

I would love to continue your setup, but honnestly I have absolutely no clue how to drive this formula to continue the cuting after the 1st turn.
To be honnest, I never been really good in math and I don't understand the way to drive those formulas.
Is it possible to animate on the fly a different behaviour in the formula based on these oscillations?
So I can replicate what is on the graph (on the video), it's apparently doing a first turn (the red path) then it can oscillate for multiple turns always chopping a bit of the metal (always repeating the red path and then the blue). As now I have the first part (red path, thank you!) how can I initiate the second path (the blue one)? Doing an other formula?

Sorry if I ask silly questions, I understand most of the things you did, but the formula part is still very opaque..
