Hi
Can you do a tutorial with Illustrator? I get the shape in but it doesn’t have the X,Y,Z functions so I can’t control it..
I’m kinda new to this CS tool..

Thanks

I merged an AI 8 file into my scene and tried to adjust the xy parameters and it’s not there. How do you change the XY of a custom spline in CS tools: Bloom?

Just noticed Jonathan Craft had the same question as me:

Just like you can set a subComp in AE to be used as a particle with Particular, where each particle starts at frame 1 of the subComp at birth, is there a way to include this Bloom in an emitter so that each particle will start its own animation from birth?

I think this was asked by someone else, but I have put my bloom into a cloner object and random effector, is there a way to offset the animation time so each clone blooms in succession? Thanks!

Okay, so once you put your csTool under a preset folder in r11, where can you find the tool inside c4d ?

Amazing tuts by the way, thx !!!

hello Nick,
with the Object library removed (for some weird reason) from the C4D R11, I’d recommend using the OLX plugin (free) from the following location:

http://biomekk.com/index.php?page=2&cat=107&itm=13#att8

its pretty cool, it has lot more options apart from loading objects library alone, also it becomes easier to make the Object Library as a tool in the palette for real quick access.

i hope you could mention it in the upcoming tutorials on CSTools which will be a great help for users of C4D R11.

thanks a lot for the wonderful tutorials.

@Luke:

To make the buildings look like they are springing out from the ground you can use the CS_SpringNull. In the examples folder is an example of using the Spring_Null to make flowers and text pop on.

Other note about Bloom:

The last spline graph where you can deform the scale was mostly made for doing leaves when growing from a vine. So if you have a leaf spline with an anchor point where the stem is, deforming it as it grows off the vine looks nice.

The real stepchild is texturing & rigging. You can figure out mograph on your own – but Bodypaint is just hell on earth if you trial and error it.
