Hi guys, in this weeks tutorial we will be attempting to recreate Artur Gadzhiev render, he created his in Houdini and so we will be attempting to recreate it with C4D.
Check Out his work here: / art.gadzhiev

Thanks great tutorial! Im new to fields. Please can you tell me what the vertex map is doing to the spline with the linear field?

[@cemaydn2991]

Best C4D tutor in the game! Also waiting for Houdini stuffs, it would be amazing.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Thank you!❤️ I still need to learn Houdini first!

[@cemaydn2991]

@@MotionAndDesign Good luck! It must be a very long journey. Even basic knowledge is important for motion graphics, but VFX is a whole different story. Fortunately, we have Cinema 4D and Insydium... :D

[@ArchViz-4D]

Thank you for tutorial. If you put cloth vertex map ( using fields created by splines with small distance ) to Cloth Tag Mass Map and use Min Map = 1 % they will always stick to cloth surface.

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

SO NICE! thanks for sharing!

[@MotionAndDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it!❤️

[@baileycs1514]

With regard to the stretchiness and the connector pulling away from the cloth as it's pulled up - I up'ed the connector tag search radius and Max connections to 15. I didn't change the project settings at all. This still moves away a little but there is much less travel. Thanks for the Tuts. Another thought is could a vertex map be used to control the stretch?

[@aleksandrasusloparova8808]

Cool lesson
Thank you so much!

[@tutorials859]

I fixed that with vertex map added to cloth plane, in fields put that spline to create vertex map, add curve to vertex map make it 100% strenght for small radius. Put that into cloth mix animation. Than add surface deformer for cloth and put object you want to attach, like that small spline

[@MotionAndDesign]

Such great problem solving! Thank you for sharing!🔥

[@DmitryDmitrov]

Can I have a video solution? Because of language problems, I don’t understand how to solve the problem?!

That's a great tutorial
I'm enjoying your video in Korea

Glad to hear that! ❤‍🔥

beautiful💫🔥!

Thanks bro!💪🏻🔥

[@hoaeto2180]

Thank you very much

[@grantchesterdesign]

Hey, so running 2025, started the tutorial but the spline collapses and the plane / cloth remain stills when I activate mix animation with pins, any idea on ho wto fix?

[@cars103]

very good and useful tutorial, Luke. Like expected once again:)

Thanks 🎉

Awesome tutorial!

[@MrOmarniaz]

Very genuine mate... Love it

[@moh1t]

Amazing as usual

[@MotionAndDesign]

You’re amazing!

[@userinfo3119]

Thank you! :)

[@Unldead-CreativeStudio]

Very nice work

[@余利强-j9f]

I hope that dynamic objects can be more stable when they are close together. A rope is pulling a rigid body, and the connector will always leave some distance between them. Is there a solution for this?

[@GranzDesign]

hi man, can you show rendersettings to next time? Mines takes forever to render, and its prob something wrong with the settings I use for animations.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Yes sure i can! I can give you a break down, I had my samples set to automatic samples with "0.1" threshold, in global make sure "hardware raytrace" is on and the i think I set it to "Brute Force" in the global illumination tab, think that's all I did :) Hope that helps

[@GranzDesign]

@@MotionAndDesign does your projectfiles on ur patron include the rendersettings?
And also, do you use denois before rendering?

[@Lapso3Design]

hola amigo gracias que gran aporte. en el cinema 4d 2024 ya no se estira, el error esta corregido.

[@FernandoQuevedo]

Gracias por aclarar!

[@loicfreudiger6505]

Hey Nice tutorial man! How did you manage to turn the ropes into GEO. I can't seem to do it. If i copy/past it and use a sweep it crashes. :( Thanks in advance

[@MotionAndDesign]

I put a redshift object tag onto it and then selected “capsules”

[@loicfreudiger6505]

Thanks for such a quick reply. I see. I'm running octane. I'll check if there is an equivalent. Thank you!@@MotionAndDesign

[@zerpabzueta]

Hey Luke, excelente tutorial...!!!! Can you do a tutorial where you explain how hundreds of helium balloons under a conical net raise it by accumulating at the apex of the net and keeping it upright like a circus tent?

[@alwaystothepoint_]

i love your tutorials... but im stuck in while simulating the same scen and the erroe is " collisions limit exceeded cinema 4d" can you please help me to fix that

[@alwaystothepoint_]

even tho i'm using the threadripper 3060x and 32 gb ram

[@alwaystothepoint_]

and my gpu is rtx 3080

[@amirdo5379]

my friend. if you picture is not in the clip . it will be great
thanks

[@theJineffects]

just Up the Iterations Values to 10

[@uriahhill9675]

3 iterations in my case, but seems to depend on the weight and size of the cloth being simulated.
