xpReel Tutorials, Strange Cloth, Cycles 4D - Part 2

In this tutorial, we'll render the floating cloth scene from the X-Particles reel.
Techniques we'll work through include:
* Creating a custom cloth material in Cycles 4D with texture and transparency.
* Increasing the resolution of our cloth sim by subdividing our meshes.
* Caching our particles and baking our mesh to Alembic
* Lighting the scene and picking appropriate render settings.

Thank you for these excellent tutorials. Please keep them going on a regular basis. And keep getting even more detailed.

[@3dmonkeybizz]

Loving these tutorials. Thanks to you, I bought Cycles today! :-)

This smooth cloth would work nicely with the xpnewtongravity, I think this technique was shown at some point during the xp4 demo real where the cloth gravitated around a central point

Thank you Bob, your tutorials are always very interesting and pleasant to listen to. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the information I was looking for: how to automatically apply a "multi matter" to clones ?

[@TB-bz3sh]

Great tutorial! Thanks Bob. Learning a lot. Give us more of x-p + cycles4D, please.

[@AlexDisciple]

You could use takes instead of multiple project files to render out your different cameras. Thanks for the tutorial, great stuff!

[@StevenBussey]

Thank you for a really good series of tutorials! Just gettig into this now and I love it

Awesome!

[@pixelatedbeatz]

very cool stuff > where could I find info/tutorial about Ambient Occlussion and a full training course?

[@nathanjaneisler902]

I need to get Xparticles and Cycles 4D.

[@GEORGE.M.M]

You and me too!

Hi Bob, I get a problem :( when I render it, i don't see the cloth animated, only planes without deformation. I don't understand why. I see the plane deformated only in the viewport. Any idea? Thanks

[@chari---zard]

Hi there! Great tutorial, I very much enjoyed it.
I have a question, whenever i want to cache the scene it tells me that one or more obj's are named xpClothDeformer thus cannot cache. I understand it is the cloth deformer that is in the connect hierarchy. As i understood it doesn't make sense to give each cloth an individual deformer, because it can screw up the calculations and all the scene. is there a way to surpass that?
/// Edit: those who are blind like i am and had an issue like this: each object or plane if you are using that has an expansion down with a deformer inside. They all have the same name. Had to manually give each a different number, but it all worked smoothely.
problem solved :)

[@Renix]

when i cache the sim doesnt even work

[@chari---zard]

@@Renix 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chari---zard]
