Hi Ricardo,

Please use one theme at a time (thread); otherwise, searching the forum or reading along is difficult. Thank you.

I am not aware of a connection among multiple Push Apart Effectors. But please suggest this here:

"Share Your Idea"

It sounds like a great idea, like a Push Apart with a List to pull Cloner Objects and Matrix Objects in a list and evaluate them all at once.

For now, this setup might help.

The idea of Instances is simple: calculate on Clone and have the data, not the object for the render engine.

Perhaps there is an idea to place the SDS as a parent on a Cloner, but if one could use the SDS on the Clone Child before it is Cloned, the SDS would have to deal with one object only, not with many.
In other words, if there is no urgent reason, SDS before Cloning. It will save you a lot of time.
If possible, use the
Mesh> Add> Subdivide * > Smooth ( the * means, use the cogwheel)
instead.

All the best

Thank you very much, Ricardo!

This is why I love communication supported by files! 🙂

That was not on my mind, so you found it! Great observation. Thank you so much for your feedback.

My best wishes

Thanks for the feedback, Ricardo, which helps me to suggest this series:

Elly goes carefully through the Nodes, and next week is the next Episode:

During that show, you can ask questions, and perhaps you might be up to speed with these Nodes in no time.

Enjoy

You're very welcome!

Hi Ricardo 4D,

In your screenshot, there is a little triangle > follow that.

Then, you find an option to switch the gradient between Linear and Gamma based. See the image below.

Hi Ricardo 4D,

Have you tried the Remesh? If you could share a file and tell me what you like to do, it would be easier than trying to find out via videos.

All the best

Hi Ricardo 4D,

Please do the following: set up any object you like with a V that you like.

GOZ export it to ZBrush

Go to Zplugins and use the FBX export.

The result of the FBX export can be merged or opened in Cinema 4D.

It should show the same UV.

I hope this will increase your confidence in the pipeline.

If that is not the case, use the created objects and open a support case.

Hi Ricardo,

I can see that your workflow will improve things.

Typically, I make a lot of suggestions, but most of the time, if no one asked for it, other things with more requests view the "Share Your idea!" will be on top of the list.

https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

I encourage you to send this idea to Maxon.
I will create a feature request internally.

All the best

Thanks a lot, Ricardo.

My best wishes for your project!
