Cinema 4D tutorial: Smoke trails

[1simonmatthews]

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial. Can you help me out? For some reason my cube layer becomes disabled (red cross instead of green tick) when I add the Thrausi to the cube, although I can still see the cube and it does explode, but the Tracer has no effect unless I enable the cube, but when I do that the cube no longer explodes apart, it just stays whole and rotates through the air with trails. Any ideas on how I can make it work properly? Cheers. Cool effect by the way!

[TheEdix]

@1simonmatthews Thanks. Enable green tick. Go to Collision tab and set Individual Elements to all. Also I recommend you to check my free c4d preset "Smoke Trails 2".

[1simonmatthews]

@TheEdix Thanks, it worked a treat! Will definitely check out your Smoke Trails 2 preset and I'll give you another "like" too. One other thing, for some reason whenever I follow a C4D tutorial, mine always ends up a lot less realistic, but I follow the steps exactly. I haven't added a graphics card to my computer, was wondering if it was anything to do with that?

[TheEdix]

@1simonmatthews I don't think so. You just have to play with the right settings and optimize scenes. Every technical upgrade is plus both for speed and final look. Don't forget to color correct or just refine renders in After Effects/ different soft.. If you'll have a question or an idea for a tutorial, just mail me.

@TheEdix Ok, thank you very much for replying, it's much appreciated. Keep up the good work :-)

thanks for the tutorial it helped me allot .

[Jrmtheboss]

I can not find particle geometry, Is there a plugin to download ?

[TheEdix]

@Jrmtheboss nope, what version of cinema 4D are you using?

[Jrmtheboss]

@TheEdix R12 version

[TheEdix]

@Jrmtheboss It's under Simulation > thinking particles

[Jrmtheboss]

@TheEdix okay thanks

[kesekacke]

If i tik on the Mograph Object of the Broken Cube it doesnt broke...

Its the same problem like xViTalDesigns

in the Project File it is okay when the MoGraph Object is Ticked...

I cant find the diffrents...

Are there maybe some diffrent Options in Thrausi????

[TheEdix]

@kesekacke You tick fracture object on, then go to Dynamics Body tag > collision tab and change individual Elements to All.

[charameill]

I need to know the name of the music!! awesome vid by the way

[TheEdix]

@charameill Thanks. It's Dark river by X-Ray Dog

[xViTalDesigns]

When the thrausi was complete it was shut off there was an 'X' beside it i used the tracer and there were no lines, when i put it on *TICK* There are lines but the cube 360's in the air;/ what should i do?

[TheEdix]

@xViTalDesigns You tick fracture object on, then go to Dynamics Body tag > collision tab and change individual Elements to All. Also check my "Smoke trails 2" preset

[kesekacke]

@TheEdix THX!!!!

[PegasusDesigns]

**************where can i get pyrocluster!!!!! I cant figure out where i can download it, and it is kinda pissing me off! If anyone knows where i can download it, just please send me a link or something. Thx, and cool video btw!!!!*******************

[FailResearch]

I downloaded the project file and it's nice. But I can't figure out the Tracer in R12 in my own project, and I really wants to learn this so what should I do?

[TheEdix]

@FailResearch Check out my free c4d preset "Smoke Trails 2" for creating cool dust trails. :)

[anedominguez]

wich music from Pro Scores did you use in this video?

[KsAViPeRs]

thats c4d 11.5 or 12

[TheEdix]

@KsAViPeRs second

[justazim1]

in the mograph tag i don't see any rigid body ?

[zGumbii]

@justazim1 its in simulation under dynamics

[AugsburgMike]

I really like the bg music -sounds like Shantiprem, Deuter or Merlin's Magic.

Thumbs up!!!

[pdebeche]

Hi the tutorial is real good (Cinema 4D tutorial: Smoke trails), but the music is perfect, you like help my please with the name this music.

Thanks so much

Congratulations for this tutorial on Cinema 4D

[prankCallzAUS]

i dont get them lines when i add the tracer please help me i have cinema 4d r12



[TheEdix]

@prankCallzAUS Check description for project file and for Smoke Trails 2 preset.

[lobard]

in the volume tracer global settings.....set the numbers as follows in order 50...10...50..10...50...10....­100. that will speed up your render time trememndously.....as for no tracer lines. go into the cube thrausi object....select all the pieces...then add the tracer.....be sure to untick the tracer setting trace vertices.

[OnlyTheBest95]

@TheEdix whats the name of the music

[TheEdix]

@OnlyTheBest95 X-Ray Dog: Dark river

[MiniGUTZ]

how do u figure all this out??? lol

[halfpoo]

Thanks you realy help me out :)

[TeamAdvancedOC]

thanks man great turtorial!!!

[caravana111]

exelent!!!!! thanks!

[juanelox1212]

how to do ur intro?

[VisableTech]

Any tips to shorten the render mines taking like 42 mis per frame 90 frames wow it will take long time

[TheEdix]

@VisableTech In render settings > Options change shadow depth to 6, reflection depth - 2, ray depth - 6.

Use soft shadows on lights (you can even lower the resolution X). In PyroCluster - VolumeTracer material use user render mode and increase world step size allot (possibly other settings).

[thehandsofdajo]

i don't get those lines when I ad tracer ???? help???!!!!

[TheEdix]

@thehandsofdajo I don't know why not. Download project file, link is in description and try smoke trails preset v1. I'll soon release new Smoke Trails preset 2.

[thehandsofdajo]

yo dude i haven't got those traser lines ??!!!

[tommyk1210]

@pawnone :) you do, it's just a bit harder to find :P it's under simulation -- dynamic body -- rigid body

[magicus3000]

What's the Name of the last Song? I love your choice of Music

[pawnone]

just to let you know I dont have that mograph rigid body tag (studio r12 version) so I found a work around... if you select all the cuts from Thrausi then create the tracer object you dont need the mograph rigid body tag, the basic dynamic body will work fine. basically if you wont the tracer to see it, it cant be in a null object. it needs the individual slice names to trace them... thanks for the vid tho wouldnt know how to start without you...

[NeverlessHD]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. If I ever post my video, I'll be sure to credit you.

[Luddelit0]

can i use a text instead of the cube?

[SecondTech]

i just woke up because i fell asleep by the music.

thanks, really needed that!

[marcopiresventura]

Dam why my cinema 4d dont have this things?!

[iTizJbK0]
