RE: Help with animation
Great words, thank you!
One question about the screencapture.
I guess you remodeled the alien, because with my model the arms are very difficult to animate.
Your animation is very smooth with the arms.Can I have a look at the model?

RE: Help with animation
@Dr-Sassi Great, thanks for the tips!
I studied your scene file and the tutorials and for me it is now working!
I did the Build again - and used Ik instead of Fk for the arms - and improves the weighting, continually looking at the details. I had to redo it about 5 times, but that give me experience in weighting.
I also used your tip to increase the size of the controllers.Here my updated scene file.
v2 04.c4dA last question, how difficult is it to make your walk cycle.
So not using CMotion?Regards,

RE: Help with animation
@Dr-Sassi Thanks for the tips on the tutorials.
I will start again with an Advanced Biped and not with a Biped.But hopefully you can have a look at my scene file and give me some tips on what I do wrong.
I downsized my scene file to below 1 Mb and I can upload it.

Help with animation
I created a character that I want to animate.
The easiest, I think, is using the Character Object.
So I added a Character Object, Adjust and Bind.Then I weighted using the Weight Manager and the Weigth Tool.
Question:
-
Weighting was not that easy, I could not select / deselect the correct polygons.
Could it be that my mesh is not good enough, incorrect polygons or too large polygons? -
What is now the best way to animate?
I see there are only User Data Controls for the Legs, but not for the other components like the Arms and the Head? -
I added a CMotion Object
But I could not make the arms move in sync with the legs? -
Looking at the knee, it is a bit jumpy, not smooth?
Hope you can help me and correct / explain things.
Regards,
PimPS I hope the upload of the c4d scene is ok, It gave me an error. The file is only 1.262 KB

RE: Laser light
Beautifull. Long render times, but I decreased the number os samples in Sub-Frame Motion Blur.
Thank you. -
Laser light
Hi, I have been to a great popconcert where I saw these beautiful laser lights!
I tried to create that same laser effect in Cinema, but I am not sure how to do it.Initially I though to put a light in a closed cube with only a small hole in it.
That works for a single spot light with a very small beam.If I use a area light (a rectangle) and put it in that same closed cube with the whole, I expect to see a small but broad beam of light.
But that does not seem to work.What am I doing wrong?

RE: blow up a balloon (fill it with air)
I added a second Rope Belt at the beginning of the spline connected to a Null "Move point".
So now, when I move this Null, the balloon should follow the Spline Rope.
However, this is now happening, the balloon stays in one place.
Also the length of the spline seems to change.
What am I doing wrong? -
RE: blow up a balloon (fill it with air)
Thank you.
Also the link in the email is very interesting.
Chris Schmidt showed here how to inflate a balloon-shape
https://youtu.be/G8cL9zZrMYw?si=Xl-6w_2m8sU_HkiA&t=2745So, I will model a balloon by taking a Sphere with a Taper and then inflate it.

blow up a balloon (fill it with air)
I like to make an animation inwhich a balloon is filled with air. Is that possible?
Also, I like the balloon then to stick to a rope and when the rope is moved the balloon also moves.
I am using 2024.0.2I have seen some totorials doing this for previous versions using Spline Dynamics, which in 204 is now Rope functionality.
I have problems connecting and moving the rope and the balloon together.
