I can't test your project as I work in R23. Indeed, you cannot use the Field Force to influence the speed if you are using it to influence the direction. So what I did was to just duplicate the Field Force and set the copy to Add to Velocity, you can then change the speed from Strength. Although my test was done with particles it might as well work with Pyro. But there is one unsolvable barrier with this method: How would you control the variable speed of debris ? As I see it you can end up having a smoke with a constant speed but debris of variable speeds resulting in smoke surpassing some parts and hard to catch up with others .... One question though... Why didn't you just apply the Pyro to the fragments ?

Like all Text-to-Image AI generators, it requires more text. The more descriptive the prompt the better the result. I doesn't work in keywords like a Google search. People usually add things like AAA game, hyperrealistic, photoreal, extreme detail, Star Wars like, high tech, minimal, clean, sci-fi...

I've seen this in R23 too. It might not be a significant bug as splines don't render but in my case I did have to render it using the S&T and it drove me crazy.

Νο. In order to do that you'd need to fit your texture inside the einstein tile in a certain way that would repeat no matter how the einstein tile will be positioned next to itself. In other words you'd need a second einstein tile to fit inside the first einstein tile. (if you want it to look seamless that is) C4D already has a non-repetitive way to tile textures (probably faster than any polygonal tiling method) and it's called Scatter Node. Not many users know it because it can only be used in Material nodes and most users don't use those. https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Default.htm#html/NET_MAXON_PATTERN_NODE_GENERATOR_SCATTER.html?TocPath=Node%20Editor%7CIndividual%20Assets%7CContext%7CScatter%7C_____0

More like a notification... I haven't bought the book, but I don't advertise it either.

Poly is a new web-based AI-driven texture generator. It is a text-to-image AI that will produce a material based on a prompt and an available Style preset. It needs about 30 seconds to generate a texture. The result will be previewed on a 3D sphere object along with the corresponding Ambient Occlusion, Albedo, Normal, Roughness and Height maps ! You can use Poly to upload and edit your own images and make them Seamless, Upscale them or even produce Normal, Height, Roughness and AO maps using AI. The app is free to use but the subscription plan lets you choose more styles and unbounds you from the maximum 2K resolution to up to 8K.

I hope they include all those capsules in their next compatibility-transition release (like R19 and R12). It just doesn't feel right to search for the "rocketlasso" tag to find them.

Math as Art is always welcomed in this forum. If you are into these things I recommend taking a look at papers from Bridges - Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science You can use the MoSpline to create aperiodic patterns. So far the aperiodic monotile has no L-system. I tried the Penrose tiling here penrose tiling.c4d A couple of years ago I had a small talk about new tiling features regarding the Cloner object with Rick Barrett, he found the ideas interesting and said he would consider a similar implementation on their new system (referring to the later released Neutron Project AKA SceneNodes). Theoretically you can use the classical Cloner to create any pattern of mixed polygons if their center can be laid on a regular square grid. But non-repetitive tiling is trickier and each case is governed by it's own rules so I don't think there is a way to create such patterns natively in C4D. I would use other apps as helpers to export to C4D like InkScape or VisionsOfChaos (actually I take my Penrose tiles from Ready).

That would mean they have to create their own training data for their neural network. If that was an easy task then most popular AI apps would do that but as far as I know the original AI training data computer scientists used to create the first AI image generators (2015-2020) were low-res, not big enough and the results were shitty. Once they figured they could just harvest the internet DALL-E. DreamStudio, NightCafe and dozen others spawned out. The worse part is that AI is heavily hardware-dependent. Saying that AI is property of NVIDIA wouldn't be an understatement. And most online AI generators use Google's servers to generate their images, they just provide an easy interface and their "own" AI. There's no way MAXON will create any infrastructure housing NVIDIA GPUs just for an AI service. Any online AI service plan will lead to a payment per image, and most people using C4D don't want any additional costs. I haven't seen any decent free AI image generator, they all require payment for good resolutions and quality.

I haven't seen any procedural garment creation with any existing app. Do you have real reference of what you describe ? You can use Fields in conjuction with Vertex Maps to influence extrusion effects but not in the context of SceneNodes as they do not support Fields, and certainly not in the context of a dress. Deformers like the Bevel cannot help you because they do not support Fields, the Cloth Surface also does not support fields, the MoExtrude will extrude only individual polygons, so your only solution is the new Thickener Generator that supports both fields and vertex maps.

We would like to invite you to participate in the Hum3D competition "Sci-Fi Industrial Zone". In this rendering challenge, your goal is to create a detailed and atmospheric environment with elements of science fiction and industrial design. Your scene could be set in space, on a space station, in a massive manufacturing plant, a power station or a high-tech space refinery. We're looking for a scene that feels like it's straight out of a science fiction film - full of intricate machinery, dark and moody lighting, and plenty of technological detail to capture the viewer's imagination. Your scene can include any vehicles, characters, buildings, and can be set outdoors or indoors. The use of third-party assets or pre-made models is permitted. The online event will run from 21 March to 3 June, with the submission deadline on 3 June and the results day on 20 June. You can find out more and see the rules at https://hum3d.com/scifi-industrial-zone/.

A speedrun from the fist place competitor

There are some upscale AI apps out there even free ones but i'm not monitoring them so I can't tell or sure if they could go so far up to the 8K resolution.

Did you try the 360 app in Nvidia ? This is true. It probably has to do with the training data set. I don't think the ever sold it as imaginative though, in contraty I think the purpose of the tool was to create realistic depiction from vague sketches.

I haven't tried this for video but for reference imaging you go to your Viewport's Options -> Configure -> Back There you can set a background image with any amount of transparency. This only works for a non-perspective Camera Viewport. Maybe it will work for video also.
