Added 2023-03-10 21:56:21 +0000 UTCHey again :)
This time ur buddy with the weird look and the silly jokes is back.
Tutorials are like hot cookies this month! Consumed fast and smell wonderful haha
Another exploration/case study with Cinema4D's cloth engine, based on the awesome rnds by Media Work
Let me know what you think :)
Cheers,

Comments
They better be doing that haha yeah i been also giving a lot of feedback to them over the years and tons of bug reports. Glad to hear ur noticing a difference!

2025-03-23 17:39:10 +0000 UTCgoing back through a few of these older tuts as refreshers with 2025 and noticing that a lot of the softbody issues aren't prevalent anymore. Seems like Maxon is fixing some of these things over the past few updates.

2025-03-23 17:36:47 +0000 UTCHi, either colliders missing vertices (as this is a point to point collision) or you are forcing sphere to follow position so much so it penetrates. Lastly it could be that you start animation with wrong collisions. If u follow tutorial steps u wont run into these issues :)
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-07-25 09:05:25 +0000 UTCHi Thanos! Idk why but when I have that animated sphere even tho I have my colliders both from top and bottom my animated sphere just gets out of that collider. Tried tunning off gravity but then the sphere just gets over hat top collider.

2023-07-24 13:22:33 +0000 UTCprobably some shader like wireframe?unsure where that is in octane though never used it!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-07-24 11:24:02 +0000 UTCHow do I make that planes as wireframe and keep the rest as it is?

2023-07-24 11:12:45 +0000 UTCcheers bud!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-06-29 19:43:16 +0000 UTCReal nice one Thank you
Erwin Kunz
2023-06-29 19:39:49 +0000 UTChey yes! I will when i get a moment :)
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-05-25 16:32:05 +0000 UTCHey bud sorry missed ur comment. In my latest tut i explain in detail. Cheers
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-05-25 16:30:18 +0000 UTCHello, will you share the projec file please ! i´m very close to complete it.
Allen Rojas Méndez
2023-05-25 14:55:56 +0000 UTCHello and thank you for this amazing tutorial! Is there a way that you can explain me the way how you create your Materials? That would be great.
Cnusper
2023-04-22 09:44:32 +0000 UTCnot really, I played with the settings. It came out OK eventually but I had to change some stuff from what Thanos had in the tut. It does seem to sim differently on an M1. Not 100% sure but it appears so.
Michael
2023-03-30 16:53:00 +0000 UTCHi Michael, did you manage to solve it? i'm having the same trust problem
Anderson andhe
2023-03-30 16:50:45 +0000 UTCSolved, it was my C4d version
Anderson andhe
2023-03-29 21:46:58 +0000 UTCHello, sorry I dont understand what is the problem. If u following what I do in tut, u should have same behaviors.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-29 07:42:43 +0000 UTCHello, when active with force and left the sphere at 1 they collide and it is strange, when I left it at 0 it is normal, in your video the map scale is disabled mine is 100%. I am not able to resolve.
Anderson andhe
2023-03-29 00:39:43 +0000 UTCyes u need to change the projection type to something other than uv if i understood correctly
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-24 23:43:33 +0000 UTCWhen you apply a gradient material to a sphere in Octane, the material is separated for each axis. Do you know how to fix it?
엉 저어어어어
2023-03-24 18:49:35 +0000 UTCthanks buddy! glad u find it useful!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-17 14:16:35 +0000 UTCThis will be so great for some of my medical animations. Awesome as alwayThanos :)
Adam Zunder
2023-03-17 14:13:50 +0000 UTCyes i need to update project files when i get a moment
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-17 09:13:03 +0000 UTCcheers mate
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-17 09:12:45 +0000 UTCThank you Thanos for your teachings and knowledge. Brilliant
Anthony Serraino
2023-03-17 04:42:46 +0000 UTCOh will you share the project file of this sim later as well?
Michael
2023-03-16 22:24:03 +0000 UTCI am on 2023.1.3. which should be the latest one... hm. I will redo this on the PC and see if this changes anything.
Michael
2023-03-16 17:24:22 +0000 UTCalthough m1 shouldnt have any difference in cloth sims. C4d version has major difference though.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-16 17:21:33 +0000 UTCI am on an M1 mac, so this might cause some issues. Need to try this again on my PC. I did follow your values but it comes out very differently. I will keep playing with it, not a problem.
Michael
2023-03-16 17:19:22 +0000 UTChey bud if u follow what i do in the tut u should have similar results and u should be using similar values in forces etc As I cant debug simulations, make sure ur in same c4d version for starters
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-16 17:17:17 +0000 UTCI am having issues with the align to spline thing, where the ball that is following it has a huge amount of lag. Unless I add a higher value to mix animation it lags behind the position it should be and just either doesnt go through or just slops out at the side. Once I increase the force it goes through and follows OK, but when cached it all plays too fast. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong here?
Michael
2023-03-16 17:14:33 +0000 UTCHaa no I didn't know!! I will try it and hopefully will work hehe, I will let you know if it works. Thank you so much for always answering so quickly man.
Kousha Motamedi
2023-03-14 23:39:01 +0000 UTCyea maybe shouldnt be an issue. But yes, try 516 driver (is the one i use and i have 3090) and i have no problems. Also make sure ur in latest 2023.1.3 c4d. Clear also the c4d prefs and delete ur start scene. Do u know how to clear c4d prefs? Either do what he is doing (move temporarily this folder to ur desktop) or just delete the "prefs" folder in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgYNAwwLikY&ab_channel=KieranWood
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-14 23:27:11 +0000 UTCI'm on 528.49 studio driver which I think is the latest one? Do u mean to switch back to 516? Also, I use octane 2022.1 R5 which works perfectly.
Kousha Motamedi
2023-03-14 23:22:02 +0000 UTCcan u try one last thing? install 516.94 studio driver. Use clean install. If u are on RS for some reason with these very old drivers, that might be an issue.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-14 23:13:56 +0000 UTCYup! the thing is that It works with the CPU dynamics, as soon as I switch to GPU it crashes.
Kousha Motamedi
2023-03-14 23:12:14 +0000 UTChey bud. Mmm did u try with a fresh scene and a single plane? if yes and still crash, then try to clear ur prefs/ur start scene and try again. If still have this issue, then u need to email maxon.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-14 23:02:45 +0000 UTCHey Thanos, I have an issue with my c4d 2023 cloth and soft body system where when I use the tag and hit the play button my viewport freezes immediately, every time, even with the simplest geo. Sometimes it gives the error collision limit exceeded. I'm pretty sure there is smth wrong on my side but I could not figure it out, I use a 3090 for my GPU as well. Do u happen to know how can I fix it by any chance?
Kousha Motamedi
2023-03-14 23:00:24 +0000 UTCnooo i didnt send any virus haha have fun mate!
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-13 21:15:40 +0000 UTCIt was an overzealous virus protector - BitDefender, just in case anyone else ever has the same issue.
Ed Fergusson
2023-03-13 20:40:47 +0000 UTCYes, unfortunately that is on ur end. I d suggest to clear ur cache/cookies/try another window in chrome etc. Sometimes people have these messages with vimeo is a bit annoying, sorry about that.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-13 14:15:38 +0000 UTCAm I the only one getting "Because of it's privacy settings, this video cannot be played here"? I mean, obviously, because you've all watched it. Shit.
Ed Fergusson
2023-03-13 14:00:42 +0000 UTCthanks broo

2023-03-11 14:50:29 +0000 UTChaha thanks a lot buddy!!! So glad you enjoy it so far
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-11 14:39:30 +0000 UTCThanos, I hope you're making good money doing this Patreon because you're an excellent natural teacher. I feel really confidnent I'll be able to include 3D in my client workflow because of your insights and problem solving skills.
James Rockwell
2023-03-11 14:32:53 +0000 UTCBalance all ur forces/substeps. Might be ur follow force is too high from substeps being too low If u watch the whole tut, see how i play with all the settings to get an intuition of whats going on. Sims are way more than a floating cloth with turbulence and now with these tools to our disposal we need to understand how every setting balances vs another.
Thanos Kagkalos
2023-03-11 13:21:51 +0000 UTCMy Spheres really want to break through the upper Plain, any advise?
Benjamin Parker
2023-03-11 13:14:46 +0000 UTCthank you!
