Another great tutorial dude!
Do you have any new work to show off?
Finally a new CS Tools tut! great!
Nick –
Nice to see more CS Tools on here. I actually recently used CS Docucam on a shot for a project I”m working on here at TEAM:

Easycam has come in very useful as well.
I’m just finishing day 1 without a beard and I already miss it. what was I thinking?
pretty cool, im gonna play with it right now!
thanx a lot mate
question. how can i do wireframe view inside c4d? not a render i want to see wireframes inside the viewer while im animating

lol moustache
Can you please post a link to the t-shit site? lol.
Great tutorial Nick been looking for a decent organic camera plugin for a while cheers!
gr8 tool, Nick! Thank you 4 sharing!
Would you be so kind to tell about creation your PUMA video http://www.creamyorange.com/template.php?page=pumasg ? About icy shader and the explosion animation?
hey guys!
i really love Docucam,and i have a couple of questions about it [problem solving related]:
1.are the parameters within Docucam keyframe-able? if id wanted to keyframe the wobbly-ness from ‘A lot’>into a subtle movement, is it possible?
2.When i try to export the C4D [DocuCam's] camera info into a scene in AE, Everything just messes up! [layers are scattered around etc. so it ruins everything]. Does this mean that you should always import the DocuCam into the project BEFORE starting to set up all the layers? or is there a fix for that?
thanx a LOT to anyone who reply’s to these issues. and Thanx alot-Nick! Your tutorial bout this tool was really great & useful!
thank u :]

in front of each parameter u can c a little small circle. just control click on any of it u need to key frame.
eladbari on December 7th, 2009 said...
hey, Magix :]
well yeah, i tried it, but it didnt work. i thought it was because this tool is made with Xpresso, so you cannot keyframe it [just like expressions in AE]. i guess id need to give it another shot. maybe something else messed it up :\
Thanks alot!
p.s-do you have any idea about the 2nd problem, maybe? the discussion here kinda faded..
The Gorilla on December 9th, 2009 said...
It should export properly, eladbari. Ill run a test and see what I find.
eladbari on December 10th, 2009 said...
thanx for the reply, Nick :]
again, exporting a DocuCam into an already made AE project just messes everything up. i thought it was the Zoom level on the DocuCam, so i turned it to zero, but, all of the 3D layers Still gets messed up…
Francisco on December 11th, 2009 said...
How are you exporting your camera info to AE?. I just check the compositing project files box to After effects in the render settings dialog and boom!. Then just import the .aec file that C4D creates into AE. Once U have Ur composition imported, THEN start to setup your elements in AE. (always remember to turn into 3d space the assets you want to be affected for the docucam in AE)..once you set up the first one, integrate the other elements will be a piece of cake..
Hey Nick,
Good stuff. I would especially like you to show how the action cam works in CS tools. I have tried to move from camera to camera in the step up and I really can’t get it to work. The camera transitions hold for 1-2 secs and that is no good.
If you could show something on that it would be great.

Here is the action Cam tut, Kevin. http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/2009/04/cinema-4d-cs-tools-action-cam/
Hey Nick Nice Info ..THNX !!!!
Check this project where I used DocuCam and C4D+AE integration (learned from your tutorials):
http://estevezbreton.com/FUELTV-H264.mov
let me know your feedback
PD. some hair and dynamics tutorials in C4D would be great!
The Gorilla on December 9th, 2009 said...
Dude, that was DOPE!!! Thanks for sharing. Some hair with dynamics tuts coming soon.
eladbari on December 10th, 2009 said...
thats was Really cool, Francisco :]
Francisco on December 11th, 2009 said...
Thank you both Nick & Eladbari. That was a really fun project to do. Whenever you have a chance check my website with some of my work. ( http://www.estevezbreton.com) Feel free to comment about it.. feedback is always accepted !!
I´ll be waiting for more cool tutorials as you always Do
Hi Nick,
I’m having problems with the CS tools. Whenever i play there is nothing going on in animation. This is not only with the docu cam but also with cubes and some other. Any idea’s ?
Thanks for the tuts , their great !
Stef on December 22nd, 2009 said...
Ow i found it ! I had it set to Merge objects, while if i select Merge scene it works
Great work and tutorials Nick! This is my first post, so first thanks for your inspiration and style of teaching, you have helped alot.
Second, workign on my first “5sec” and wanted to know if you know how to pause dynamics so the the cam only moves, then resume dynamics. Similar to the time remapping in AE, or like a 360 degree freeze frame.
Thanks
Is it just me or is moving docucam around where you want it almost impossible? I find it really annoying to frame a shot with it.
Hi there!
First of all: Great tutorials! Easy to learn and understand for a starting and advanced person who is interesed in 3d / cinema4d.
But i have a problem with this tutorial. Somehow the video doensn’t seem to load.
Hi there, I don’t get the docucam to move in 11.5, in R11 its behaving fine…am I overlooking sth. thats needed to do in 11.5?
Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, Works well for me. Ill try to look into it.
Mark Gmehling on February 26th, 2010 said...
I’ve no idea why the cam isn’t moving here- loading the same docucam file with r10 works
hopefully you can enlight me.
Thanks
Btw:great ressources here!
choosing merge scene or better say merge document inside olx works- merging object is not working. (thanks stef!) reading helps
