Try taking helix subdivisions down (about 10), hopefully will work.

I did this tuorial when it came out and worked perfectly, but now in the newer version of C4D I feel like the rope simulations act differently. Do you know why that is? They start animating without me even doing anything when hitting play. Any solution for this?

@LorisRavera 2 ай бұрын

Same, the rope physics go absolutely bonkers. I'm still trying to figure it out on my end but it looks like decreasing the substeps significantly is helping a bit as well as decreasing the amount of subdivisions on the Helix

@SuperdeluxeDaveyJ Жыл бұрын

And just like that, I'm a PLUS member because of this tutorial. Awesome. QQ - How do I delay the simulation so that i can do a camera move in before the twists start?

@Greyscalegorilla Жыл бұрын

Thanks for joining, David! Check out the "Mix Animation" panel in your rope simulation settings. There you can animate Pins or forces (I recommend Pins for your situation). Turn it up to keep the ropes from moving. Then animate to 0 to start the sim. Let me know i it works.

Thanks so much. My Cloth Tag doesn't have the 'Mix Animation' tag! Any idea how I can do this ? I'm on Mac OSX M1 R26.

@Greyscalegorilla Жыл бұрын

I think that feature was added in version 2023.

@johanvanheerden1 Жыл бұрын

When I duplicate the cube and place it at the opposite end and rotate it 180 deg it doesn't have any effect on the ropes. The yellow connections are visible but when I play it back it sort of does something but not much - have the same signal rotation as in the tut. Have tried moving it closer and further on the X axis but not luck.

@hannan8396 Жыл бұрын

@johanvanheerden1: Did you activate the "Live Update" Button? Did you change the search radius a little bit? Might help to delete the connector and create a new one for cube (180°). Did the same tut, and mine works fine ... just want to help ...😀

@johncuevas7084 Жыл бұрын

In case others are having this issue(I did), just select the connector tab and updated the Search Radius settings, the will cause C4D to relook and connect to the proper side.

The tutorial is working on 2023 but in C4D 2024 the ropes are getting crazy the moment I hit play. The simulation parameters and the selection rope parameters are the same. Any idea? Thanks

@Greyscalegorilla 22 күн бұрын

The simulation has changed a bit since the recording of this tutorial. You may want to try turning some of the settings down to remove the craziness.

@teresawilliams8038 21 күн бұрын

I found that reducing the helix subdivision did the trick. Made another selection for helix so I could change them all at once

@ndtv4111 Жыл бұрын

Hmm, For some reason I cant get the connector working. Is there a step i missed? Do I need to specify how to connect to what?

@annawang2338 7 ай бұрын

Try increase search radius in Connector; or maybe you put rope the tag on Sweep instead of the Helix?

@estudiorkd2237 Жыл бұрын

I don´t know how to do that in c4d s26! I can't follow some of the key steps, for example I dont have the Mix Animation options... how can i do the same in c4d s26?
