... coffee solution This way you can set any value for all parameters (I´m sure it´s possible same way in python) If you create "standalone" scripts, they are executable one time. (mostly used way). Script tags (coffee,python) are used for solutions requiring repeated procedures (for instance script for keepeng points at zero X value while modeling or so...)

great works... 3D graphics is always nice kind of art.

or little example in coffee :-)

Or create nice welds direct to your needs. In attached scene is simple example, can be used more deformers to create irregularities. Can be converted to polygons, used as source for spline wrap etc...there are many possibilities weld.zip

Just found a time to check videos and must say looks very good. Seams like in buildin cloth engine, but for real time much faster...

Thanks for info Keith.

If you need just simple placing objects in Y axis, why not use "Project Object" command? (Character/Commands/Project Objects)

really smart solution... (floatfunction is the key in this case, thanks for nice example,again learned something new)

measurement values (inputs) will be always a multiple of 0.125 or will be real values for instance 0.96 etc.?

Please, give some example/screen?

Asking more citizens of C4DStudioland and many of them agree with @Greatszalam review...

nice modeling (and must say so fast, not like me)... OHV engine? Aren ´t driver rods thin enough?

Hm...Get both :-) btw, very good price for renderer+3nodes

We can say it´s +-service update before release 5. Summit was mainly focused on releasing "light" version of Zbrush "ZbrushCore". With intrudoctory price around 120 dollars can be good solution for hobbiests etc. (on other side we must say it´s very "light" version and almost all advanced commands or workflows only available in Zbrush) btw, Ed Harris is great actor... :-)

Good job on tutorial Gerald, Always when I try to write little scripts in python inside c4d, I´m very frustrated why don´t work this or that...Checking in python sdk and syntax looks fine. Will be great to have little, max. 20 row scripts using python c4d sdk, if you remember somethink like Scott Ayers´s "Coffee Bible" with coffee scripts) Mean some basics with selection,toggle, renaming objects, finding in hierarchies etc...simply pure basics. Few line scripts can´t be "hard" for undertstanding and can be "reusable"... Hope more tutorials will follow ;-)

or you can try this way :-) graph.zip

Yes, it is a personal project. Started "years" ago and still not finished. From time to time make some update... It´s your thread, ofcourse you can post wip here on in new thread dedicated directly to specific motorcycle model, it ´s up to you. We will be happy to see your progress...

I got an email from Steam ( I was mark it in Greenlight times ago) about releasing Indie version. Visualy look nice, question is how much knowledge about animation you need. (building rig,controlers, weight influence etc...)

This is from category "Have a 5 minutes fun and forget it". It´s simply clear this is not for serious work. We can also write with legs, but we don´t do it... :-)

Thanks Keith for announcement. Looks like huge list of updates. Btw, is there planned some update on Undertow?

Breathtaking video for me...Love this workflow.

fundamental rule = pictures/blueprints... Example from my (still unfinished project) KTM 640 Supermoto. Over 500MB pictures from different angles (avrider forum is strong with details) some original pictures from manufacturer (manuals are very useful, you get exact parameters/dimensions/radius brakes/wheels, wheelbase etc...) If you didn´t find these parameters, you can go for real dimensions from other side. If you know just one dimension (brake radius, wheel dimension, fork length, simply use it...And then "adapt" your blueprint to model created in real dimensions. Ofcourse, it´s not super exact, but enough... Also can be used "markers" (you can see it in one of attached pictures). Simply mark key axis or screw positions or some important points on skeleton etc...

Really very sad news...I was read thread on cgtalk at the morning, but still can´t believe it. Rest in peace Dan, you will be missed.

You can change/update user data for seting exact dimensions of rectangle, but then will be not work this setup properly. As you can see (and remember from previous threads about rectangle sweep problems) in this setup is used mospline as source for sweep and driven by polyfx. And it´s all work nice only in case your spline is linear and without intermediate points.(adding these broke idea of setup) PolyFx simply divide whole spline into linear segments and sweep use rectangle for all segments of spline (turning off caps on sweep shows you what I said better)

James, how are you satisfied with new card inside C4D? Have you Thea render or Octane? I´m very close to build new PC and I thought about to buy GTX1070. Since have Thea render want to know how benefit Thea from new pascal cards. I was read something directly on thea forum (some special dll libraries or patches needed for working on pascal´s), but not some benchmarks or tests there... btw, games... I think we all start with games. First steps with pc was about games...Fallout series is one of the best games ever in this kind of games imo. (especially love first 2) and my most favourite Deus Ex series...
