I have a character alembic file that has a simple animation to it. I want to keep a specific pose, however whenever I try to do something like make it editable, current state the object, or connect objects and delete it reverts the character alembic to a default pose and doesn't keep the held pose. I have animation turned off so it just holds a specific frame.

Am I missing something really obvious? Do you need more information from me?

Toronto studio looking to update our freelance roster with new faces.  Specifically looking for mid-level and junior C4D motion graphics artists who also have After Effects experience.

We are a very small team inside an events company and often need help.  We do good work but, upfront, it’s not glamorous work and 95% of our work is NDA so you won’t see it on our website or on our socials and you won’t be able to post it publicly yourself.

We are completely remote with no in-person studio so the expectation is that you are fully equipped to bolt onto us with your own up-to-date software and workstation.

Even though we are all remote, we give preference to artists working in Canada or the US, in or close to the Eastern time zone (AST / EST / CST).  We have worked with West coast artists but would require you to slightly align to East coast time (7am availability). We cannot hire artists from countries other than Canada / US unless you have a registered Canadian or US company to invoice us from.  Please do not waste your time sending us a resume if you do not have that.

We do our best to respect freelancer rates as all of us have been in that position before.  If we find your work compatible we will go into more detail with you as to what our budgets generally tolerate but just know that we are not in the business of lowballing or abusing freelancers who choose to work with us.

Resumes can be sent to video@globacore.com

If you want to do your homework on us, feel free to look at our website globacore.com but honestly, it’s way out of date because, well… we’re just too busy.

Before I post another image or video that looks like I’m watching YouTube with one bar of service, can someone explain to me why my videos look so quality when viewing in the feed? I imagine it is for purposes of saving data of course but wondering how I should compress or convert. I see a lot of videos posted that are definitely high quality enough for a mobile device.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue please ?

Hello. I recently noticed, that if I work in C4D & Redshift for a few hours, Cinema has a tendency to slow down or crash over time. Usually restarting the PC and running CCleaner does the trick and Cinema runs fast again, but I was wondering if there was some option hidden in Windows to flush/wipe RAM and VRAM, so I won't have to restart my PC every few hours. I have an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU.

MATERIAL BAKE ISSUE PROBLEM,,,,

Hi, I am making a video for an anamorphic display on a curved screen, and I am stuck during the baking process. The problem is that when I export my texture to a baked texture, it turns into a white background. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Does anyone know how i can solve this? im trying to learn retopology but when i use subdivision surface it never connects and is always rounded at the edges

Hi,

Is there a way to restrict the movement of clones so that they only move horizontally (in the X and Z axis) and vertically (Y axis) using a Plain effector and fall offs?

I need to load of clones to form a final shape, but only by moving in straight lines up / down / back / forward.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi there, C4D beginner here. At some point I clicked something, and now I have a floating tag for one of my materials in the middle of my viewport. Right clicking it gives me the option to change some settings, but clicking "remove" does nothing. Does anyone know how I hide this, or at least move it out of the way?

I'm wanting to create something similar to this. I'm playing around with a spring for the patch, and as you can see it has a bit of depth to it. So I've used a cylinder with some caps, but when I apply soft body dynamics to it - rather than being impacted as a solid object the caps break apart and it stretches out. Where am I going wrong?

I can't find the info anywhere. Can we copy paste or duplicate a Sculpt Layer?

Thanks

I simply want to turn off the program by closing it (x) and have it free the license automatically. It never does. Ever. I shut off the program at work and shut off the PC, load Cinema4D up at home and it's still assigned to the work computer. Every single time I have to go through this clunky process of going to the Maxon website and manually unassigning the license. Is there an easier way?

Does anybody have a working download link for the polycircle plugin for cinema 4d r23? All I can find are links to Chinese websites which seem impossible to actually download anything off of

I need to recreate exactly the z-folding bandage animation in this video, but none of the approaches I can think of seem like the right fit.

• Cloth/spline dynamics? It looks too well-behaved to be a simulation
• Model with soft body dynamics? Some areas seem to flex more than others
• IK rigging and keyframes? It looks like there's physics at play in the flex and bounce

This is not my usual area of C4D and the tutorials I've found are focused on different results. If anyone can suggest a smart way to recreate this effect exactly, I'd be massively grateful.

Hello Everyone,

First things first. I'm someone who is Bipolar along with other few mental diagnosis. So, it's very crucial for me to have a good 8 hour sleep, with 1 hour for my family / friends on a daily basis. Not to mention weekends off.

Primarily, I always wanted to be a part of the VFX Film Industry as a compositor. But sadly, due to the severity of my condition, I had to drop that plan. I've been learning 3D Modeling, Texturing, Lighting, Rendering, etc. for quite a few years now.

I don't have the liberty to move to another city for Product Visualisation jobs considering my health factors. My doubts are as follows:

1. Is it possible for me to be able to generate income through product visualisation freelance? If yes, how should I go about it?

2. Considering I'll have to build the whole thing working remotely, is there any chance making it into this industry generating a good income?

So I can get the shape alright, but the main part of the chair is kind of a diagonal lattice - any ideas on how to recreate it in Cinema
