[Aopa007]

How i can add this Character in real Video ?

[kamranso]

THX very Good, Other Tips??

[searomp]

maxon please answer!

I do everything you tell me to, but instead of making 3 joints, it makes 1! and I can't get those joints to move my mesh!

should I visit cinevercity?

[SubscribeToKiyo655]

@searomp select all of the bones and your mesh then go to character, command i think, then click bind. it should work now

[GTEproductions]

@searomp he said remember to hold down shift otherwise it makes only one joint

[searomp]

I can't find the "character" tab on my cinema 4D!

(is cinema 4D r12, basic)

do I need a plugin?

[troynugget]

thumps up if you click on it cause the girl lol :) pervs

[armitx9]

How do you move the arms? The joints move but the arm doesn't

[bruhe]

It's probably not working because you're trying to joint adjacent segments. That won't work. Try this example: Make a cylinder with 6 height segs, make it editable, & go into Edge Mode. Then Loop Select the 1st, 3rd, 5th, & 7th height segment. Then click Character > Conversion > Selection To Joints. This should give you the result you want.

what do u mean edge mode?

[MaxonC4D]

@SubscribeToKiyo655 Choose Tools / Edges so that you can select and work with polygon edges.

[SubscribeToKiyo655]

@TheModernReaper ownage pranks :)

[MrTesterTesting]

now make that girl naked!

[TehTNM]

@MrTesterTesting you have a weird fetish for cgi and cartoon :(

[bcdhalo]

Did work for me. Do you know how to do it the old way just by puting the Bones inside the skin?

[yediyex]

u dont need to be so fast smartboy!take it easy with us!please

[SirWillig]

okay i have it working now but the top part of the arm always stretches when i rotate it and it really is starting to annoy me.

[ApaKhabar758]

@SirWillig

You have to change the topology of the polygons, or add weights to the joints.

[SirWillig]

hm i got the joints in but i dont know how to turn them. i really love cinema 4D!

[blackspartanvideos]

even when i hold shift and click convert selected to joints it only places one joint

[TheTarzoc]

I like hwo professional your video is..however for future reference, I would suggest that you could use a little more enthusiasm. It would be very entertaining.

[abc123abc97]

@TheTarzoc lmao your such a queer

[hacibaba00]

i can't do that :(

[stifla23]

guys i need a introductionary tutorial to the character figure :P like how to add joints :/ coz i have no idea how to do it. If u know any links or tutorials let me know. thx :)

[MrBrianorora]

how do u get etch mode

[Chrisguitar95]

@MrBrianorora he means edge mode.

[MrBrianorora]

@Chrisguitar95 ohh, i dint realise, thnks

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

Wow, this is pretty quick, I'd like to see how the joints affect the character though? Does it only convert the selected space into joints? How are the joints positioned within the mesh? Exactly at the center? What is the relationship of the joint to the mesh, are they parented already to the geometry? How does the weight painting work? If there is a part 2 to this, i'd like to see it.

[crashtacklerugbygame]

soooo much quicker what a great tip!

[MeshMan3D]

Maxon is number one!!! Incredible software, very easy, very power! Thanks

[GermanGameTipps]

how can i connect the joint points and the model?

[TaloDarkMiner]

wow o;

[fanOfEveryThink8]

you need to pay for this

[dranoel1963]

cool lol

[msthavoc]

great tip

[Noilr]

wow nice info

[overphloh]

cool! tnx :)

[ErikeRKK]

I don't know why I won't get it to work. I do exactly as in the video...

Is this not possible in R.11?

[DocWolph]

It's likely an R11.5 added function.

[itchycitizen]

nah, i have version 10 and i have used it !
