So happy you guys are putting quick tuts like this back on youtube! Much easier to find that quick answer while I'm working vs logging in and digging through Plus.

I know this tutorial is not about lights but is it possible to know the kind of light setup suitable for this kind of bright scenes. I can see it's quite diff from the "Secret to Beautiful Interior Lighting" taught in the previous tutorial

How would you go about having 2 types of different materials with randomized colors within those-say you wanted to randomize between both a wood and an iridescent material in the same setup? Moreso, is there a quick global way to add it vs creating duplicates of each cloned object that's in your cloner and applying the 2 different types of materials to each respectively different object-ie box 1 gets the wood material and box 2 gets the iridescent material. Thanks!

@chandreshvadhel3586 Жыл бұрын

Did you delete or hide individual clone to get that box shape? Or is there any other technique? Please tell me

Great tutorial as usual! Is there a way to do something like this with octane and not using a cloner? I have a lot objects that imported using the vector importer feature. I'll figure it out eventually lol

Great tut ! Unfortunatly Color user Date is not working with Render instance mode on cloner, any idea how could it work with ? thanks

@matthewscholtz9257 9 ай бұрын

will this coloring technique work if you have a collection of objects in a null object? or will it only work if they come from a cloner? Thanks

@vendoren Жыл бұрын

Hey Nick, thanks for the tut. I'm having issues with color flickering even when setting the random mode of the random field to Sorted. The cloner is set on a spline object and I animate Start/end + Offset. Rendering with Redshift.

@GreetingUser 6 ай бұрын

Same here, at some point, some of the cloners change their colour during the animation, even with the field set to sorted.

@thesefiremountains2136 Жыл бұрын

EDIT: Ah - worked it out. Switch the random mode from NOISE to either SORTED or RANDOM in the 'random field' > 'field' tab This technique is breaking when i'm trying this with a different scenario @greyscalegorilla - radial clone a bunch of cubes - apply the same material as the tutorial - if you expand the radius of the mograph radial, the cubes change colours when moved Any ideas on how to fix this?

@MilanSch Жыл бұрын

Hi, I would wonder why I don't see colors on my objects in the C4D viewport when I follow these steps in the video. C4D 2023 RS 3.5.14 Options>Materials>On and the lights visibilities in viewport are off.

Hey there, Question about the GSG plus gradients that you have in the presets, I can't find any instruction on how to install these, and don't see the assets in the HUB, any instruction on how I can get access to the gradients?

Any way to convert the colors resulting from this process to separate materials. To exclude the cloner/ effector and still have the same colors?

Thanks for the great tutorial! Quick question - I have GSG plus but I cannot find the Gradient presets that you mentioned in your tutorial. Where are they located? Thank you

@jenskohler152 Жыл бұрын

They're a bit hidden, on the GSG website under your account page, there is a link called Other Downloads. You can find the gradients there along with a few other goodies. I had a couple of problems installing them under C4D 2023, what worked for me were the old pre-R24 libraries and importing those into the asset browser as a legacy library.

@Greyscalegorilla Жыл бұрын

Yes, that's correct. Use the R24 Libraries and it will install just fine in new C4D Versions.

It's a great technique, but I think I have ran into a limitation already. In my setup I have a cloner object that is cloning a few discs that have a cloth simulation tag applied. This technique where we use the "User Data" node and are pulling the "RSMGColor" breaks as soon as you try to run the cloner object through either a "Cloth Surface" or "Subdivision Surface". Would love to know if anyone has a good work around for this?

@Greyscalegorilla Жыл бұрын

The steps below should work 1. Put the Cloth or Subdivision Surface in a Fracture Object. 2. Set the Fracture object to "Explode Segments". 3. Put the Random Color Effector we used to color the clones in the "Effectors" tab of the Fracture Object.

Mr. Know It All here... the random effector is unnecessary if you're using fields for color. A plain effector will do since you aren't even using the random part of the random effector.

Does anyone else question why so many things in C4D is so unintuitive and esoteric? This should be such a basic thing to try to do. And yet this tutorial is 16 minutes long, and there's no fluff in there... There are literally so many unintuitive steps and caveats to achieving this that this would be impossible to figure out how to do just with trial and error on your own. But it should be.
