Ok, strange, I've tried this many times and it usually works well, even in 3ds max with the worst gradient tool on the planet 😄 Maybe you have to size it correctly ? If the light is as big as on your c4d screenshot then it will lit it sharp and bright, cause the edges are outside the mesh 'projection mapping' if that makes sense.

Use a gradient in the Light texture or Light material. That will fade the edges and create more softer reflections. That's the easiest way I guess, not very physically accurate i would say. Your light intensity shouldn't be too high, otherwise it will burn the 'edges' of that gradient and will create sharp reflections.

Seems like whenever i post a question in here, I find the solution myself not so long after 😛 File attached if anyone is interested. Video file also 2022-03-28 22-13-12.mkv xP - Fake xpInfectio Triggerred with xParticles.rar In the xpScale - `Parameter to Change` should be set to SCALE, and in the mapping section Parameter=Scale Value map to Age (the longer the age the slower and smoother the growth What controls the distribution of new particles is the Weight map loaded in the Emitter>Object>EmitterShape set to Object>Weight map is loaded in the Selection field

Hello 😉 Im trying to create simple growth/infection growth anim with xpInfectio, but it doesnt haver the option to use other particles to trigger it. Only a seed object. Is there a way of doing it ? I cant think of anything in XP.

nevermind again... sorted by moi self... xP doesn`t like RS motion blur...

Hi, anyone has any idea about this ? I left the shot rendering overnight, and every frames was like this.

Me again, more problems 🙂 Im trying to render a single frame from a animation. I have a simple XP system, particles flowing on a splines. It has all been cached. I can smoothly play it in viewport, back and forth. IPR (Redshift) can render it at any frame. Only picture viewer is having a stroke trying to figure out how to render it out. Ive had this problem before but I`ve managed to render it out somehow. Usually by just playing with the offset on the Cache object, but this time i cant get it right. Am i missing something ? Or is it a bug ?

Nice one, learn something new everyday. Brilliant setup @bezo.

Awesome, No worries 🙂 I tried to make it more procedural, so you still would have bend and other options ,but for now i cant see any solution that would do it better. Connect tool technically should connect any object and weld points, but it didn't work on a spline.

Oh, my bad, i was expecting the spline to end and start at the same position after bending, needed removing few points. Now should be ok. Please confirm 😄 You do lose the bend thou, not sure if that helps in that case Tubes around tube loop.c4d

Convert Helix to Spline, And click Close spline, seems to be working fine on my end. make sure to animate the offset beyond 100% to loop. Or change the keyframes to Continue after finished in the curve editor. Tubes around tube loop.c4d

Hi, is this still a thing @HRVOJE I am missing a possibility to scatter things with MoGraph based on texture. I know its possible to scale things down to zero based on noise etc. But that's is not optimal. If you have 1000000 clones, they will all be scatter on the whole surface. Having so many clones that are scaled down to zero still need some calculations. Not the best way in my opinion. Where, the way i was imagining it will only scatter those clones on the white bit of a noise/texture. Maybe there already is a way of doing it and i just don't know it ?

I get it that it takes someone's time, but i will never believe that it takes more than 10 min to confirm the details. Especially if there is a clear form, on their website, with all the details they ever need to see. If they have some paper documents to support that, that's another 10 min. £175 for 20 min of work ? Dream job. And also there is no way they will take a programmers time to do such things, i m sure they have operations/sales department who takes care of that. Which is the job they being paid to do anyway. So such a stupid fee is clearly just to 'milk the cow' as much as they can. JOPS is right, they could put someone from management to do this and charge 3 times that, simply cause they can. Also agree, but they should also consider their customers sometimes, who are creating money for them, and eventually will leave them, if things like this will keep happening. It wont be all of them, but it might hurt their budgets a bit. Recent decisions put a lot of C4D users against them, I'm seeing a lot of people switching software. A lot of Redshift user doing the same.

Go into 3d industry they said, it will be fun they said...and you will make money, said nobody 😄 C4d Its probably the best tool for the job for that price. but its getting worse with every new `feature`. Soon they will start charging for daily use or login into maxon account. or contacting tech support... Or maybe its just the world that's going mad.

Hii. I just noticed that maxon is charging transfer fee of £175 for simple licence transfer. Is that a new thing ? Or do they just seriously taking a piss out of every customer ? Paying to get product, paying to keep it every year and now paying to get rid of it... What a brilliant business model. https://www.maxon.net/en/legal/license-transfer

Hi, jumping in with a question regarding main C4D project settings for colour profile. I understand how to set render settings, but what about Project settings for ACES workflow ? sRGB or Linear ? Are those settings correct sRGB with Linearize workflow enabled ? Thanks

Hi. I have a Cinema 4D R20 Studio Licence if anyone would still be interested in that version. Lets start with £800 but I'm open to offers. I can't use it on my new PC, it wont start with interne connection, too many problems to sort it, so I'm moving to S24. PC spec just in case if anyone would have similar one - C4D r20 might not work as well : MSI z590 Tomahawke WiFi motherboard (which might be the reason why it wont work - Ethernet controller has some personal issues with C4D apparently) i9-11900k, RTX 3090, Samsung M.2 SSD., Corsair Vengeance DDR4 ram 2x32 3200mhz. Do i have to get Maxon permission to sell it or would it simply be a matter of transferring it using form on Maxon website ?
