Using a Cloth Tag for a soft-body character!
Hi 단지구, You might be able to do that by animating the object downward and using mix animation in your cloth or rigid body tag to have the sim follow the animation more closely. Or you could do the sim on a cube instead, which will fall flat on the floor, then either bake and parent your object to that or use the Mesh deformer to have it follow along.

Hey Gage,
Haha love it — respect for squeezing every drop out of that Iris Xe! 😄
That EliteBook’s a solid machine for general work, but yeah, for 3D and rendering in C4D, I can imagine it starts to groan once textures and effects ramp up. At least you’ve got the RAM to help keep things stable!If you ever decide to upgrade, even a mid-tier…

Hey Matt,
Good question! Just my thoughts here — definitely double-check with Maxon for the latest Redshift compatibility and recommendations, as they keep their lists pretty well updated.
That said:
Your 2070 Super has done really well, but for modern Redshift and video work, having more VRAM is definitely a plus — especially as textures and…

Multi Shader in the Node Editor
Unfortunately, not at this point. I’m not sure why but Maxon never transferred this shader to the node editor – I was told that it would eventually be available but that was ages ago -, I guess their busy with other things. Just have to use the old shader graph for now.

Can you give me more details, context? Im not sure what you mean. Can you email me your project of chat?

This option is super handy because it lets you have different UVs within a single shader

How to make Ocean Waves in Cinema4D
Hey Kieran,
You’re absolutely right — coming from Blender, it can be a bit of a surprise that Cinema 4D doesn’t have native fluid simulation tools built-in (yet). Currently, fluid and ocean simulations in C4D do require third-party plugins like X-Particles, RealFlow, Liquigen, or importing simulations from Blender like you’re doing now.
That said,…

Hey Mats,
I have a video showing how to export your Cinema 4D shortcut keys here:
👉 https://cgshortcuts.net/export-your-cinema-4d-shortcuts-keys/You could also make a copy of your c4d preferences folder – inside Library/Layouts you can also find any custom interface layouts you may have created.
Most of the settings I use over and over again are…
