Neat! But….when?
Reply -
Sorry, I should have been more explicit. WHEN do you need a sucking vortex of balls (C4D loves balls), etc.???

For some reason when I apply the random effector nothing happens. Am I missing something? Other then that great tutorial, just getting back into C4D!

I have the same issue!

Yeah me to I have the regular version of cinema (not studio )and can only add one random effector, the other one just sits around doing nothing. Greatful for any help here

Same problem here. Can’t get the cube to scale. Also, on my screen I can barely see the settings you are making in the editor due to the video resolution. Great fun effect.

I made this, thanks to this tutorial.
It also uses a bit of Plexus and Optical Lens Flares

thanks for the great tut. I wonder how i can do this animation to make energy orb then explode

Great Tut Chris……can’t say how much it’s appreciated that you, nick and all else take the time to share your knowledge….rare these days!
I have a question about the vortex tut with the helix…..
Is there a way using dynamics to stop the cubes from intersecting as they swirl around?
I am animating a bunch of musical notes flying into a music dvd boxset and would like a natural look….this vortex tut may work well, but I need the objects not to intersect…can you point me in the right direction please mate?kind regards
Simon

I have a question. Could you add a simulation tag to the scene so they spin as they touch and don’t interpenetrate? Thanks!
