Hello Dr. Sassi,
I hope this message finds you well.

I'm trying to recreate the animation effect from the video, but I'm having trouble with the material transition. In the reference, the flowing material changes from glowing red lava into a black casting texture, but I can't seem to get that same result.

I'm wondering if the problem lies within my material setup. I would be very grateful if you could provide some guidance on how to tweak it to reach the goal. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Hello Dr. Sassi,

Thanks for the example. This looks even better.
However, when I turn on the Geometry, the water mesh doesn't correspond to the emitter. Which makes the water meshes doesn't correspond to the water pipe.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
I hope this message finds you well.

I’ve been experimenting with the new Liquify modifier recently, and I encountered something a bit unusual.
When I enabled "Geometry" in the Export tag on the Liquid Mesh, the water didn’t appear to be in the same position as the emitter.

Did I possibly enter the wrong parameters, or might I have missed a necessary step?

Thank you very much for your time and help.
Wishing you all the best,

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Okay. I will keep in mind next time for better management of these Q&As.

Really appreciated for very detailed and precise explanation that is very helpful for me.
Wish you all the best.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Thank you for your support. I think it's a great idea to work in this way.
I tried using an emitter to place several objects on the conveyor belt and let them move along with it.
However, the software became very slow, and it seems that the rigid and collider tags are not functioning properly.

I would really appreciate any suggestions or guidance you may have.
Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Dear Dr. Sassi,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm currently working on creating a conveyor belt animation using the offset function of the Cloner. I’ve done my best to minimize the gaps between the plates, but I’m still encountering visible spacing at the turning points of the belt.

Would you happen to know if there’s a better method to achieve a smoother result?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
I want to create an animation like the one on Youtube
https://youtu.be/b2YEjE3OWPo?feature=shared (10 sec - 41 sec), where water flows and splashes realistically in a tank. Is this animation made by RealFlow plug-in, or it can be realized by the native C4D? I tried to create it with Emitter, volume mesher and some simulation, however, I think the effect is not good enough. Would you please give me some advise how to make the animation more like
Particles Fluid.2025.5.c4d

Thank you.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Thanks for sharing your method. I have another question about the render.
When I render, there are two blue cubes between the two handles that will appear.
I couldn't find where I can make the visibility off.

Thank you.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
I'm very sorry for didn't read your message clearly.
Please see the C4D file.

Thanks for taking your time of this matter.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
I try to make the cable connected to the connector on both ends of the cable, I use rope and rope belt tag to do this animation. However, the cable didn't connected very well. Is there anything that I missed?

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Oh! I didn't notice that I can update to 2025 version!
Now it works!
Really appreciate for your help!!!

@DaveMDarcy
Much appreciate for your reply.

I would like to have the effect that the cylinder appears from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom.
The solution you suggested appears to be that the cylinder appears from the middle, and reaches out to the bottom and top at the same time.

However, thanks a lot for your help again.

@Dr-Sassi
Good morning Dr. Sassi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. This effect is exactly what I need. May I know how I could get this new Field Driver?
Thank you very much!!!

Hi Dr. Sassi,
I would like to make the animation that the cylinder gradually appears as below link. (from 31-33sec).

However, I've tried for several effect and couldn't make the same one as video. (see attached C4D file).

Would you give me some advice? Thank you.

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Your method seems different from my method which I send it from Wetransfer.
However, your method is more efficient and easier but leads to the same effect that I want.
Thank you so much!!

Hello Dr. Sassi,
Thanks for your feedback.
Here's the c4d file via Wetransfer. https://we.tl/t-pSRzDiRR0n

I work in the machine tool industry. But I'm a baby in using C4D, and I confronted some difficulties when I want to try milling 2 routes at different time frame.

From 0-200fps I want to mill out a plane first (see pic1). And than 201-300fps, I want to continue to mill a square(see pic.2).

But the problem is, the square goes back to the size before I mill the first plane, which is not I want. (see pic.3 red line).

Here's the .c4d file for your reference.

I will be very very thankful if anyone could give me some hint or advise. Thank you.
