How much ya want for it ? Not interested myself so much, but that's the sort of thing you want in your first post... CBR

OBS does allow you to record at low frame rates ! It goes as low as 10 FPS in the presets, but I think you can input lower manually. I use that for video, but for stuff where I want snapshots or really short ultra low FPS video I use lovely free ScreentoGif, which has 2 modes - one for video and another for manual snapshotting, which just draws a frame over C4D, and you manually hit the snap button whenever you like. It has comprehensive editing, annotation, and retiming as well, which is nice. Here's one I did in that earlier... CBR

Indeed, may your learnings be great and your time here rewarding ! CBR

Ah, you're in the right place then. Lots of decent modellers here, and very rare we find a modelling challenge we can't help with... CBR

Yep, that is the way I would do it if I were making live tuts - it is a lot more editing work, which seriously increases production time but it definitely makes for better videos once you are over presenting the basics. Not only can you use that technique to separate modelling from speaking but also to skip / accelerate render or simulation times (when that becomes important) and to speed up sections of tedious repetitive modelling work once you have shown the first few moves at regular speed people wanna 'get through' seeing the same move demoed 30 times more ! @Hrvoje uses that technique to great effect in his modelling tuts where he will often speed up the tweaking process between each main modelling stage, which would be very tedious to watch at regular speed. CBR

Nope, won't be a 4K thing, it'll most likely be a noise gate / auto mute you have on the mic which aims to kill background noise during silences by muting or otherwise attenuating the mic level. If it is that, Just find the control in the mic settings that does that and either disable it, or adjust the threshold down / release time up (if that is an option you have) so it gates less aggressively. CBR

Very interesting to watch, and a great first effort. Some general feedback for you; 1. Those things on a fork are called 'tines' 2. I wouldn't worry too much about having you on screen past the intro. You're too small to really see when you're in the corner, but TBH we don't need to see you there at all once you start modelling ! I know a lot of people do like to remain on screen down small somewhere, but I have always wondered why ! I know you show the mouse later, but I reckon you should appear and go full screen for that. 3. Move the mic a little closer to your mouth (and make sure you are speaking perpendicular to the FRONT of it, not the end), to get less of the sound of the room in the recording (very minor issue - really am nitpicking there ! 🙂 ) 4. Explanations are clear and I didn't struggle to follow anything you said. At times I thought you were speaking very slowly, but I appreciate how difficult it is to think, model and speak a non-native language all at the same time, so all respect there ! Also, for future tutorials, could you please show how Houdini tackles pure poly wrangling - making live path cuts on models, and moving individual points around etc etc - anyway, great job, and looking forward to seeing more of these ! CBR

Welcome to the Core ! 🙂 Which plugins menu is that then ?! However that doesn't immediately sound related to the middle click viewport freeze thing. 1. Which VGA driver are you using (version and studio or game-ready?) 2. What if you use the buttons in the VP or shortcuts to switch views - does that crash stuff, or is it just the middle click ? 3. Is it every time you middle click, or sometimes that's fine ? 4. Have you submitted a bug report /ticket direct to Maxon about this ? CBR

Yes I think that has been addressed already... CBR

In my experience we can update to 25 perpetual until the day R27 is released. At least that was how it worked from 21 to 23 - option was on the table until 25 was announced. It was not possible to update to S24 in that time, so presumably that will also apply to S26... CBR

Yep, we've made it to a record 500 posts without having to lock it so far - let's not ruin it now hey ? CBR

Righty - must be time for some more golf clubs (for a change) ! Very enjoyable models to make... Renders by Kane Cochran / Octane ...and some wires of course... All the quads, SDS etc etc CBR

Yeah, rockin' - blown out window fixes most things that were wrong initially, and it's looking pretty convincing now... Aesthetically though, I know it's very much a thing these days to have this hyper-bright daylight in a scene but with so many reflective surfaces in this room I do wonder if all the blow outs we get everywhere are a bit much / too intense / not very attractive. Perhaps the whole scene might benfit from a night shot, with interior lights doing most of the illumination ? Or perhaps the daylight could be more warm and subtle rather than so cold and clinical ? CBR

@FLima I have considered the subscription route, but it is not for me in any sort of long term way because I may not always be doing this for a living, and as a hobbyist I'd find it difficult to stomach handing over 700 quid every year for software that will stop functioning the moment I stop paying. Nope - perpetuals are the way to go for me, and I very much hope Maxon continue to offer them. CBR

I see your point @Cairyn and concur to some extent, but I did honestly see the value in paying that much for what new functionality there was between 21 and 23, and it was on that basis that I made the decision rather than worrying too much about what was split up into what version when... CBR

I am a long time customer, and I have just paid what I considered to be a rather reasonable 900 pounds to update from R21 perpetual to R23 Perpetual. That is 2 versions worth of functionality for less than the price of 2 yrs of the annual MSA I paid every year up to R21. So in that respect I don't feel I have been screwed OR forced into subscription while that option was on the table. I currently have the option to go to 25 perpetual for a similar price. I do consider it a shame that support for perpetuals is limited to 3 months, Cineversity is not included, and may be somewhat personally disappointed that Maxon hasn't so far gone for the 'Rent to buy' model, which I think would make a lot of long term users much happier, but I don't feel that hard done by as long as perpetuals continue to be available with yearly upgrade options. CBR

That's not the issue. It's the unnecessary rudeness and personal accusations in your comments I am taking issue with. CBR

I get that you feel like that, and that would be something it would be more reasonable to say given that is your opinion.. But let's have no more comparing individuals to vermin please - if there are reasonable and legitimate things to say those arguments should stand on their own without needing to be personally insulting as well. CBR

@Icecaveman It is one thing to speculate / venture an opinion about the future of the software, but rather another to make a personal attack on an individual person, comparing them to some blood-sucking life form and implying they are taking joy in the despair of others, which is what you have done above, and is neither justified nor helpful. Nor does it make you look any more reasonable or rational. Personally I think you owe Dave an apology. CBR

Ah yes. I think you may be right there. Hopefully they are addressing that. CBR

That should work. Where is your mouse when you press delete ? If it's over the OM, then the object should get killed, regardless of mode, whereas if your cursor is in the VP then any selected components would get offed instead. I haven't noticed that so far, other than the continuation of a slightly different (but related) problem I constantly have (back to R18) where when I try and use PP to drag out an edge it doesn't register the ctrl key I pressed first so moves rather than extrudes... CBR

I haven't tried every single one, but all the ones I use every day do (the ones in my layout) and I haven't found any others that don't yet... CBR
