Hi EJ really good tutorial thanks, I really love the effect; a lot. I would like ask you a question about it, cause every time I apply the result is always thin; doesn't looks like yours. I'm doing exactly as you do in settings with the cloth, but when I click dress o matic the result is super thin and I don't understand why. I tried different settings about steps and width but nothing change. Hope you will see the comments and help me about it cause I really love the effect but is not easy find the solution on the web. Thanks

Hey Dear EJ I have a problem that I'll thank you if you explain it to me. I have created an "M" shape with a pen spline. also, I've changed the sharp points to the smooth ones with the chamfer tool. but when I do Drees-a-Matic, my M shape goes to the jagged one. It seems to be very crumpled. every time I changed the based parameters such as Maximum Length on subdivided and also Width on the type of Extrude, this jaggies problem is also is there. how can I make a perfect M shape?!

@eyedesyn 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks! and yes there is, just create a Sky Object and create a new material, in the luminance channel you'll want to find an HDRI image and load it up in the luminance, then apply this material to the Sky Object, add a Compositing Tag, check off "Seen by Camera" and viola, that's the manual way to create this type of rig!

I have even tried to add a connector generator aaaand you guessed it....still turns the circle into a spline. What do I do? where is the "Make single object' option under the extrude properties in cinema 4D R23 please. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Hey! I have a question about blurriness in materials. When I add a reflectance layer, say GGX, and adding blurriness. The blurriness is not dense enough. Can you change that so it´s denser? I hope you understand my question. It´s very grainy. Peace

@eyedesyn 7 жыл бұрын

So GGX is a particular type of reflection that has a lot more Grain than Beckmann. If you want to make the quality of the blur more smooth, either go to the Layer Sampling Settings at the bottom of the Reflection Layers' Reflectance channel and up the Sampling Subdivisions. OR if you're using Physical Render just up the Reflection samples in the Physical Render settings.
