Use an exact copy of the text and belt all the points. Use the vertex weight fields to influence the belt amount. Will let you control how much the type balloon inflates based on how much it is belted to the original static text mesh
Thank you, How do you stop the balloons from floating away and to stay static? You've said in the comments to turn off the gravity and I have done this but they still float away? I can't see anything in the balloon settings to turn off 'helium' or whatever. I am currently just making do with a little bit of gravity to delay the upward motion.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, really great one ! Quick question, for some reason the jiggle deformer doesn't do anything, I reproduced the exact same steps, yet it's not jiggling a tiny bit. Any idea what to do ? When I use turbulence, the mesh self collides a LOT so I think only the Jiggle deformer would do the trick for me, if only I can get it to work...
Hi Jack! Thanks for the tutorial! Quick question, any idea how to make this work with animated objects? I put my mesh inside of a fracture object and animated with plain and random effectors to make the text appear from left to right using linear fields. I'm trying to implement this balloning effect on this animated object, making is puff then go back to normal from left to right.
Hey! Can try baking the animated object as an alembic and then use that to make your original and inflated states (Right click on object > Bake as alembic
How do you make the text editable and have that many segments? If I use a text spline, extrude it and turn it editable I have very little segments thus the balloon doesn't work right. How did you make the text?
can you go into more detail about the set up? Mine just balloons out completely smooth with no wrinkles at all, how were you able to achieve this effect?
@@shoeuzi I think he probably means use a vertex map (which can be driven with fields) in the 'mix animation' tab using the 'with pins' option. Not sure if it would work the same - but worth a try - could save a few steps and maybe even keep the whole thing live and parametric???
@@davidmorrow6363 I was just trying that, and it seems a little buggy to me. Using mix animations->with force and using a field, it seems to me that the balloon effects are completely limited where the field is less than one. In other words, when trying to limit the balloon effect with a linear field, the falloff is sharp, and the balloon effect is at 100% where the field is completely yellow, and 0 where the field is anything other than completely yellow - instead of a graduated falloff across the length of the field. Same seems to be true if using a random field. Only areas that are completely yellow have any effect on balloon.
@@maurypb Yeah, its that last stap of adding a jiggle deformer that fixes that issue, which is why i did it this way - however it turns out that you dont need to cache the simulation, so you can keep it live
Hey Jack, I'm running into an issue where my letters seem to push eachother to the side, I've checked both sets of gravity settings but no fix. Could you explain how you got your letters to hug like that even with the overpressure on?
Frickin ACE!!! subbed off the back of this 👏🏻
your thought process is out this world 🤟
Brilliant would have never thought of that workaround. Well, maybe after a few days!

Yeah that would work too! Nice
make a tut
Thanks for the tutorial Jack! Really fun way to play with type 🎈🎈🎈
I added the scene file to the description 🙃
Thank you man..really helpful tutorial.
super helpful! I just wanted to use fields with the balloon tab and i was like oh wait i can´t 😆 Thanks again Jack that is gold!
im sure they will add it on the next release, its so good!
More tuts please! Loved it dude
just use a vertex map in "with pin" in the mix animation tab. works - and much easier...
Awesome!
where were you yesterday I spend 4 hours animating pressure keyframes and position, love it and keep going.
This was really helpful! Thanks
Really helpful thank you
smart! thanks for sharing.
no probs!
Thanks man!!
thanks jack just what i needed.
nice!
amazing keep'em comin'
Needed this! some guy!
very good！
How come your letters are not floating around when inflated? Mine do even with 0 gravity :o I think that's why my morphing is not working
can confirm the jiggle deformer isnt actually jiggling here.
There is a missing part of how you can make the letters not displace each other after applying the effect and just swell in place
Mix Animation tab of the balloon and check on 'With Force' and make sure the strength is at 1
@@shoeuzi Thank u
I followed the tutorial and everything works fine, but when I try to render with Redshift, it would ignore the field completely.... what should I do?

Hi! How Can explode it later? I need inflate text and then explode it... :/ As a balloon

so i think the answer lies in activating softbody and also removing the morph workflow.
i think this tut needs to be redone.

When using the mix animation - is there a way to inflate the object then deflate with a separate field?
how do you make the text with all those ordered polygons, when i subdivide my text i get shitty polygons

Is this method useful to blend between trhee pose states? I cannot make it work.

Will you upload more Cinema 4D content in the future?
@@michaelkablitzeditor if i do something good sure!
How can I prevent objects from blending/clipping?
Try playing with simulation settings in project settings. Turn up Substeps, Iterations and Collision passes/Extra Iterations
hmmmm I think this could be simpler. Does anyone have a way of skipping using the posemorphs.... ????
did anyone get turbulence to work ?
anyone know how to actually introduce jiggle?
can you go into more detail about the set up? Mine just balloons out completely smooth with no wrinkles at all, how were you able to achieve this effect?
You can download the scene in the description and have a look at the settings!
Nice! What font did you use for this?
It's a modified TT Commons
Hi! I put gravity as 0, but text still falling down. Could you help with the advice...?
Thanks for the tutorial!
Solve it. brother
There are two gravitys in the scene settings one under bullet and one under animation - scene.
@@spacefordigitalvisualresea8031 Thanx!!! I've updated Cinema to the latest version and easily found it all.
Why not use the pin animation with fields
Im sorry i dont understand? You mean the animate pin in the Pose Morph? Theres just no option to use fields there.
@@shoeuzi I think he probably means use a vertex map (which can be driven with fields) in the 'mix animation' tab using the 'with pins' option. Not sure if it would work the same - but worth a try - could save a few steps and maybe even keep the whole thing live and parametric???

Yeh ok so go into the Mix Animation tab of the balloon and check on 'With Force' and make sure the strength is at 1
can you make a proper tutorial from start to finish on this? creating the text, remeshing etc. thanks
Hey! How do you keep the ballooned text from floating away? - could you do a quick run down of your settings for the effect? That would be great! :)
Gravity should be set to 0 in scene settings
Stickiness 100, in the Balloon Surface Cloth Tag
How can I start the simulation from 30f ?
key frame the expansion time on frame 30 with a value of 0
@@shoeuzi thank you!
did you use settings in the dresser tab for this effect ?
No just balloon and surface
