"Surreal Landscapes" 07 (VIDEO TUTORIAL)

Hey hey,

In this part of the series I am going to go a little deep into the concept of advection. It is a very common technique for so many things both in motion design and vfx.

In this part I am gonna show you how to fake that in multiple ways with and without dynamics.

On the next part we gonna go crazzyyyy with dynamics. Stay tuned!

Cheers,
T.

Thanks, yea with vertex maps on the hair tag length parameter. This happens only during render time (something that octane had some issues in the past not sure if its fixed).

Thanos Kagkalos

First of all, thank you very much for this great tutorial I have a quick question Is it possible to create hair growth using Cinema 4D's built-in tools instead of relying on the X-Particles modifier?

Napervays

hey yes you can but your scene will be very heavy. You need to check instance and then probably scale down the object a lot (also not much control in this aspect). Try it on a simple scene to understand how it works before applying to something else more complex. You dont need to cache it at first, it works out of the box.

Thanos Kagkalos

Hey, first of all thank you for the tutorial, do you think it's possible when the alembic is cashed and using hair, to replace hair by some objects as instances in generate option ? I've already seen it was possible on older version but I don't know why it doesnt look to work anymore

Grégoire Boust

no worries at all! enjoy

Thanks MP. My apologies, after sending my first message, I realized you had already shared your files in a later post. Thank you for sharing your creative thoughts/executions with the world!

unfortunately c4d makes my life so difficult in every tutorial, apologies but it aint my fault that none of the project files can be recreated exactly in other versions. I am sick and tired of this situation cause its not only patreon.. it started to interfere with my work a lot. All my setups need tweaking all the time..

Thanos Kagkalos

yes everything is on the project files

Thanos Kagkalos

trying really hard to follow along, but C4D version 5.1 is reacting differently. Are you going to be sharing the file from part 6 & 7?

Sean Zingelewicz

oh yes absolutely! since 2023 c4d or so, vertex maps need to be precised with different names + they do not update if you change their name while it is already in eg. balloon or elsewhere. It is like houdini now where everything needs to be precised -which is a good thing if u ask me-.

Thanos Kagkalos

To anybody who might be interested, if the vertex maps are both called "Vertex Map" (From the Connect object and the Plane object) it might not work. I was trying to do it from scratch and that had to be changed. (So, the change one to "pin" for instance)... Or maybe my Cinema 4D is doing stupid stuff... it would not be the first time. lol

David Durà

thanks buddy! I HATE PYRO haha just trying to make peace with it and find ways to use it without hopping software -if possible.

Thanos Kagkalos

Awesome stuff dude - excited to see your pyro stuff soon - I still greatly dislike pyro lol

Spenser Clark

Hey yes! I prefer intel cpu (i have tried both amd ryzen and intel) cause it runs faster with c4d. The downside of intel is the temperatures. Gets extremely high with triple aio watercooler I have a 13900k cpu with 64 ram / 2 x990 samsung pro ssds and 2 x 4090s.

Thanos Kagkalos

Hey Thanos, what are we talking about when you say that you have powerful Maschine... can you give advice what you prefer. Many thanks
