Hi!
Thank you so much! I know I have to dive into XPresso; I just tried to avoid it as much as I could...
I definitely will try that in the next project. I've already done that with the HUD and it works quite well.

Thank you, thank you!! you always answer so quickly and you're so professional

Thanks!
I already had them on the HUD, and that’s of course one way, but I know I’ve seen someone who had all those sliders in a separate floating window, could that be Xpresso?
Is it very difficult to make?

HI!
I have multiple objects on scene, each one with a mospline where I want to animate the bend deformer
I want to keyframe that bend of each object

I see somewhere that I could have a new window with all that sliders, instead of going to each group/mospline/bend...

I could't find a solution as I think I don't know how to look for, any idea?

Thanks!

Thank you so much!, that video is just what I was looking for, it was a hierarchy problem, as always!. Just to place the mesh into the cloner and not into the object, cool!

Hi!,
I have a High poly object with a mesh deformer (the old "cage") and a low poly object linked to it.
I then applied a soft body tag, and it works perfect. I see the high poly object behaving as a soft body.
But, what if I want to clone it?. Do I have to do it manually?
Or I can use the cloner tool?. I tried but, of course it doesn't work as easily.

I attached the disposition I have at the moment.

Thank you in advance!

Hi!
Maxon Support just got back to me — super quick response, fantastic.
They’re aware of the bug, and in the meantime, it seems that simply changing the order in the Render Settings should do the trick. Just place “Redshift” above “Hair Render.”
I’m in the middle of a project right now, so I’d rather not test it until I’m done, but that should work.

Hi there!
Thanks for the answers. I’ll try using Progressive, but probably after I finish the project.
I'll also share this with Tech Support, as @Dr. Sassi suggested.

Thank you

Hi there!
I updated today to the latest C4d (2025.2.0)
And I started having problems with a file I was working on.

I tried to downgrade redshift first, as the error appeared when rendering in redshift but it didn't solve it, the problem was caused by the C4d update, I then downgraded to 2025.1.3 and now it works.

The error is this one:

And I recreated the error in the file attached here:
problem hair.c4d

The issue is simple: you make a polygon selection over an object surface, then create hair there, and try to render: and error appears.

Please try to see if I'm not the only one, I'm now working under 2025.1.3, but I want to upgrade to the latests version as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Thanks for your answer. It's ok, I will do it manually, but it was a great feature, such a pity it was removed. I will make a ticket ;).

Thanks!

Hi!

Not long ago, I used the symmetry tool to mirror an object. I remember it being quite simple—just place the symmetry tool, click (something I don't remember), then delete the symmetry, and I would get the mirrored object.

But in the latest version, I can't find this option. Can someone help me, please?

Thank you!

Hi!
Thanks! I made it smaller, and it works much better now, but it’s still not exactly what I want. I’ll keep trying.

Regarding the field driver, I’m using it with the clones, but it doesn’t look as smooth as it does with the rig.
And everything has to loop...

I’ll get back to you if I run into any other problems (which is quite possible, by the way).

Many thanks!

Hi!
I found this tutorial:
https://cineversity.maxon.net/es/tutorials/siggraph_2017_rewind_ej_hassenfratz_essential_character_rigging

Fortunately, it covers exactly what I need to do, so it's incredibly helpful! However, I’ve run into a problem—please see the attached file. My tentacles seem too straight and rigid. Even when I lower the "strength" or "drag" values, it still doesn’t behave like it does in the tutorial.

By the way, I’m a complete newbie at rigging.

Thanks

Hi,
Thank you so much! Maybe I should go for rigging this time, but I think I’m already in love with the Field Driver. I didn’t even know it existed!

Thanks again!

Hi!
I have a cylinder with a bend deformer applied to it, and I want to loop the bend deformation. I added an Xpresso tag to a null object, using a noise node connected to the bend deformer (strength), but even when I set a frequency of 1, it doesn’t loop at 30 FPS over 30 frames.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hi!
Thank you
The video is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-mARL7JNA
(don't know what happen with the other copy and paste I've used)

It is exactly what you send me in your scene.
I did that, the problem was that I don't know how, I created a "default simulation scene" as a child under Pyro output, and that new pyro killer tag wasn't added to the elements box of that new default simulation scene. Now it works.

Now if I delete that "default simulation scene " and work again under project settings, the redshift material doesn't work...test pyro.c4d

I'm going to try to make that dissipation under the material I think, because is too radical with the killer.

Hi!
I need to know how to kill the pyro smoke.
In x particles it exist a kill thing so you can dissipate the particles or smoke in the area where you applied that kill effector.

I have a little smoke that goes up and I don't want it last so much, so I need something as dissipation, a kill effector or even a "life" value, as particles have.

I have tried this video but I couln't make it work on new c4d update:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-mARL7JN

I love the pyro with redshift by the way, really cool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, I separate the different parts and I'm trying to asign rigid body separately to voronoid and the the other part.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send the files, really appreciated!

Hi!
I had already tried that, but as you can see is not a clean cut, I need to maintain that selection as it is, the cut must be in the edges.
Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi!
I have an object with a selection tag
I then make that object a child of a voronoid
I use on sources the point generator distribution,
but I need that that selected faces of the polygon remain intact, no break at all

I search on the web and several tutorials but nothing seems to work.
Any idea?

Thanks!
