Cinema 4D: Cloth & Dynamics

Posted by Fender on March 1, 2006, 10:54 p.m.

K I've been doing a whole lot of testing and two of the main things I worked on were dynamics and cloth.

Dynamics are really, really cool. Imagine this: A sphere just a few centimetres above a sloped platform. The animation begins and the sphere drops onto the platform and bounces back up at an angle. It keeps going like this until it flies off the edge and disappears. Another example: A stack of boxes get knocked over by a ball and tumble realistically all over the place. I have an outdated full version that doesn't have the dynamics plugin and the new demo with all the new features. I can only do it in the demo, which means i can't save and post videos here.

Cinema has a cloth plugin that makes it a lot easier to model, well, cloth lol. My computer is barely fast enough to handle anything really cool but here's a picture of my first cloth render anyways:

Pretty cool =)

God damn, you are so lucky to have that plug-in… You have DYNAMICS, damn you. I would kill for that.. I only have the basic plug-ins/

I'm gonna see if i can download a dynamic plugin for my older version of cinema 4D. then I can make animations with it and it'll be awesome lol.

And I'm pretty sure cinema 4d was used in the Polar Express and Van Helsing.

Good job Fender, even though you showed me earlier. *goes to bed to play Mario Kart DS online* (I just pwned three Japanese dudes, hehe).
