  1. negate multiplies by -1, you're thinking of a boole NOT
  2. I think this does it expresso test 2.c4d
  3. I'm not sure what's going on in your scene, but you have rangemappers driving enables. Enable is a bool ie 0 or 1, and is best driven by a node that outputs a bool (rangemappers output a real ie decimal). I'd suggest driving the constraint enable with (say) a compare. If A > B enable, if not disable etc. If you hover the mouse over a node input or output it shows the data type ie string, real, vector etc. Although in XPresso you can mix n match data types to some degree eg connect an integer to a string (say for a text readout), things like enable deal in 0 or 1, whereas rangemappers convert one varying range of values to another.
  4. I think grain is correct about the special character - prints ok for me in C4D if text = "HELLO". I use Pycharm for learning Python - community version is free (needs Python installed on pc). Special character is fine on Pycharm. https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/

    Magic Snake

    Thanks for comments. In the video I used some Python to smooth the camera target (and the camera). Using a target camera on a jerky dynamic object gives too much camera shake. Here's a simpler version of a smoothed camera target using XPresso https://www.dropbox.com/s/2621hewmm0g7edj/smooth.zip?dl=0 XPresso soft target would probably achieve the same, but I've had problems with it in the past.

    Magic Snake

    This week's bit of silliness - a metallic snake-like thing navigates randomly through an array of cylinders. Uses random gravity direction - main gravity turned off. Might amuse someone - scenefile https://www.dropbox.com/s/zvgr0idp05kltkr/snake.c4d?dl=0
  7. Some file hosting sites delete inactive files after a specified time eg fileX has not been downloaded for 1 month > fileX deleted. This is especially true with free accounts. Might be what happened here. Policies vary - read the T & C.
