I Speak in Pictures -

[...] Full tutorial here. [...]

Hello mate thanks glad you enjoyed it. The balloons are actually modelled since there’s no motion i just used a sphere primitive with a taper deformer if i remember right. All was composited together in photoshop with the photos i took and voila! Take care man good to have you on board.

Thanks a bunch for this. Very usefull. Well explained and I allready use this technique to do somwthing. Thanks again for the tutorial Kieran!

Mr. Professor, I am stuck on the part with the metaball, everytime I baked the cloner object and drag it into the metaball instead of something, I get nothing. On closer observation if I zoom in really close, I can see one or two sphere moving! This is very haunting please help.

I tried your suggestion setting the hull value to 1% I get the most basic 4 sided polygon shape, it seem to be resizing as the playhead play. It grows and shrinks. Am I doomed?

Thanks for the tutorial. This was a really great intro to dynamics.

I noticed that C4D handles the dynamic text kind of strange. It randomly disappears sometimes. To avoid the part at the beginning where the letters are poking through the bubble I keyed the text to go from a scale of 0 to 1. I think this is making the letters disappear, although not immediately. It’s really finicky. but in theory making the scale 0>1 should work? I tried baking the text like the bubble but that didn’t help.

Hey thanks, yeah i agree Realflow looks a bit less user friendly that Cinema but then again i thought Cinema was scary when I came from after effects! Try sticking with Realflow too it’s definitely worth it when you have more of a play.

Hi Ivan, the background is actually an image of concrete that i used and pasted into the colour channel. I then just applied that to plane. I used the depth of focus within Cinema 4D, which blurred out the background.

cheers

Hi Andrey, the material has a fresnel reflection and light with an HDR sky so nothing too special. Hope that helps

thanks

VERY COOL tutorials!!!

Hey, it should work the same between v11.5 and 12 I think. The trick with getting the text to look like it interacts is to bake in the animation of the spheres when the text comes out, putting a collider on the text object. Then when that’s all baked you can work on the text, by animating the the dynamics on only when it’s burst out of the sphere. So it’s kind of a two step process to cheat that in the way that i did it. Hope that helps.
