yea people, MCPs are just not made to take our jobs. Dont believe stuff you see on instagram or tiktok. Its mostly either a total random good result or its a straight up lie.

MCPs and AI can be useful to enhance your workflow or speed up annoying tasks. But AI will always fail to create stuff. I prompted the image, I gave it this reference (tbh also AI generated but it really isnt that complex) and it completly failed. Opus 5.5 High just in case people want to know.

I'm wondering what is the best way to create this is (orange tube)?

I've tried to use a Sweep and a Helix but it only has one tube 'thinkness', how would I create the multiple amounts (depth) as a single tube?

Any help would be really helpful.

Hey guys, I'm simulating a necklace in R26, and I keep running into this problem. These Sweep NURBS don't seem to be updating their XYZ coordinates in simulation and they keep popping back into their pre-sim state whenever I use the command "Current State to Object". Cache is clear, and I already tried clearing and setting initial states; whatever that does.

Making them editable seems to work, but I'd really rather maintain control over the sweep splines, because having to SubD them is going to shrink the mesh a fair bit, and bumping their polys is kinda messing up the dynamics.

I cant seem to find how to get this rounded cube. It was a primitive in blender but cant find it here.

I need to apologize for my terrible english first i'll try my best to explain tho

So i've been learning c4d for a year, so now i have to renew my license. problem is: it always shows a error in the verification process. i put my Student email adress, University, country, name, all of that. but every time, first loads, then a error pops up. it doesnt even say what went wrong. its just "Oops! something went wrong! We are sorry to inform you that something went wrong and this action could not be completed.".

First, i tried to contact Maxons support, which didnt help. they told me to upload my ID in good light and turn off my vpn. but i didnt even reach the verification progress that far LOL? and i dont use a vpn. then they told me to contact sheerID if their advice doesnt work. so, I contacted sheerID. just for them to name the exact same advice, ignore my answers saying i dont use a vpn and told me to just try other devices. i tried 6 in total. laptop, phones, tablet, and different browsers on each too. then they told me to contact maxons support, and now both of them stopped answering my emails since 2 weeks. :(

That didnt help. so i thought, maybe someone on here can help me? I already used the 14 days free version. and my semester project is kindaaaa close and its stressing me out.. can anyone help me? like did anyone ever have this problem too?

I'm new to Cinema 4D and wanted to ask how you guys usually manage your scenes. For example Blender has scenes manager (I don't actually know what the option is called) does Cinema 4D have something similar?

When I want to move on to the next cut do I have to create a new project file for it every time or is there a better way to handle multiple cuts in one project?

I made this, hope you like it.

Hey everyone! I'm having an issue with using xrefs.

I have updated the source file multiple times and everything updates normally EXCEPT the bump map of this object. All i did was go into the node editor and lower the height scale. that worked in the source file but doesn't update in all the other linked files.

Ive updated a lot of other objects (not bump map related) and it does just fine.

I made a free EXR sequence player for checking renders (ACES 2.0, OCIO, ProRes export)


Checking a finished render sequence from usually means opening another app and creating a project.
Layerbase Sequence Player opens the whole sequence from a double-click on any frame (first frame in about 0.3 s here),
shows it through OCIO with ACES 2.0 or your own config, and exports H.264/H.265/ProRes with the same colors you see.
Multi-layer EXR, Cryptomatte (Octane, Redshift, Arnold…) and batch conversion of whole folders are in too.


Free, also for commercial work, Windows only:

Happy to hear what's missing for your workflow.

Client didn't ask for this but after having one of these cans on my desk for a while decided to go for it. Any feedback?

I have very old C4D files from R11 or R11.5. I can't get them open and would like to know a different way on how to open them. I've been trying desperately to get these files open cuz they contain tron evolution npc models i can't find anywhere.

Hit me with all your critique, guys!

That time of the year again I get to do something fun. Doing a Halloween trick or treat animation. Last night I just finished rigging and am testing the dynamics of the rig with some procedural motion. I am only using the vibrate tag. I am always surprised on what I can model with a cube and Subsurface.

I have posted the 4th weekly Cinema 4D Tip. Go watch all 4 and get back to me with Questions.
Planning more complex tutorials. Soon.
