C4D cloth 2023 partE (VIDEO TUTORIAL)
🕑 Added 2023-02-24 20:34:39 +0000 UTCHey hey,
The most important breakdown of c4d 2023 cloth system is this one in my opinion. I tried in each part to increase the complexity of the sims, in order to be able to simulate cloth with precision.
We gonna approach -again- this awesome ident from BUCK but this time with the new cloth engine. This will help us demystify all the fine control we have now in soft bodies and all types of mixing animation and key differences.
Please, let me know what you think in the comments below.
Have a great weekend ahead!

I have no idea what you are talking about hahah u know i need to rewatch my own tuts to remember what the problem or the solution was

Late to the party here but if you add a freeze to the top of the stack above the invert and set it to Max and 0 radius that seems to fix it. (2025.0.1)

hey, yea c4d 2024 has changed a lot many values (and probably some things are not working also, already found many issues myself). Unfortunately Maxon has been changing force ranges in dynamics among other things even with each patch and makes previous examples unusable.

Hi, I am c4d 2024, and it seems curvature is not working on the vertex map even with connect and deformed points unchecked....
Bruno Cesar Rojas Rodrigues
Thank you! No problem
Thanos Kagkalos
hey buddy, I never tried tearing in c4d once since the new cloth :) but from what I ve seen is not very good for some reason. I wish i could be of help here. cheers

Hey Thanos, hope you are well. I was wondering if you can give me a tip for something I'm working on, if you have time and want, of course, I would much appreciate it. I like the way the cloth is inflating in C4D but I don't like the way it tears. It seems that after a big target length and tearing it condenses to a small mesh instead of exploding into different torn parts. I created a vertex map and added it to the tear section. I don't know what is happening. Then I tried in Houdini, I like the way it tears in Houdini but don't like the way it inflates, so I have this challenge, inflate like C4D but tear like in Houdini hahaha. The files are here (C4D project, Houdini project + fbx, Mp4 preview). Thank you, if you can't no worries. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13JBSyYapSYjsM6MY-xKhOuuliD_j3VOo?usp=share_link

np, just add a random effector to affect color and u ll see that pieces grab random colors. Cloner/voronoi/fracture all are mograph objects that break apart "each connected piece" as a clone.
Oscar Cravalli
Thanks alot! Yes this was definately more of a texturing issue, not a problem with the setup at all :) did not know that a fractured piece would count as a clone, will look into that. Thanks again!
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks bud! well this is on rendering now. As each fractured piece already carries uv information. So for instance, in octane u can use gradient in complex mode and use a random color to generate different materials or textures per piece. Its all in mograph land now, the info is there, u dont need connect or fracture. But u need to see on each engine how to apply different materials on clones (fractured pieces are also count as "clones", each one carries a unique index)
Oscar Cravalli
Awesome breakdown of softbodies Thanos! This approach makes a lot of sense! I wanted to test this setup of a custom object that I ran through a voronoi fracture to break it up and then inflate with a plain effector as you showed - and it worked great, but! I want to texture each piece individually, and the voronoi won't let me do that, and if I make it editable and put it in a fracture object it's the same thing. And the connect object alone can't use effectors so that's where I got stuck... Anyone has an idea to get around this? It's pbr materials I want to place on the pieces and preferably be able to choose exactly what material goes on which piece. Cheers!
Thanos Kagkalos
hahah cheers mate!
Benjamin Rouyer
the project "fckin_nexus" got me big time :D. Once again, such a good tut, thanks a lot Thanos!
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks a lot!
Thanos Kagkalos
Sorry to hear that mate. Make sure u use same c4d version and u wont have any issues and/or check project files.
Juan Deus
Cant follow the tutorial properly because the bugging of the cloth system...
Matt Gunningham
Epic tutorial! Thanks :)
Thanos Kagkalos
Great to hear that!
Spenser Clark
Nice one man, learned a few new things on this 🤘
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks buddy!
Lasse Koivisto
These are always super informative! i like these long ones. Thank You! again... learnt a lot.
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks bud! im into a new tutorial as we speak which i push even further the soft body engine. Cu in the next one!
Benjamin Parker
This is perfect thanks. I have been trying to figure out how to interact more with cloth and now it makes perfect sense to introduce soft body.
Thanos Kagkalos
hahahaha like sweet sweet chocolate !
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks a lot!
Thanos Kagkalos
thanks buddy! glad to hear it was helpful!
Mikhail
Nicely done bro! Like ferrero rocher😂😂😂 you made my day this phrase 😂
Krzysztof Maro
Great stuff !
Hoi
So much great information in this video, it deserves a few re-watch. Maxon should use this video for people who really try to understand all these settings in the soft body dynamics. Thank you for doing all these cloth system R&D video!.
