Rockin those KRK’s

For a split second there, I though you we’re going to say: “…and I’M the Gorilla!” 😉

Cool Tutorial…but when I’m trying the variation shader like you do, I don’t get variation. It keep showing just one color. How do I fix this?

Awesome tut, Nick! Great fun to reproduce this! ?

However, there’s one issue I have here (C4D 17, educational version, so all features): very few of the little objects that fly around actually dive into the floor. Some just a few mm and only partly “below zero” and then they bounce back into the air. Others vanish completely after rolling for a while.
Is there some accuracy parameter (some calculation step increment or sim.) for the physics department I can adjust to avoid this?

Thanks so much!

Got an problem here,

the variation shader is changing it’s object colours frame by frame, but just during the time the cloner spawns the objects. Didn’t found a solution yet.

somebody got any hints here?

Dude! Nice work – this was a very thought out and well presented tutorial. Seems like you’ve upped your game on teaching. Very good pacing and explanation of everything especially texturing – showing the basic way then your way. Keep it up man!

Hi Nick

I was struggling with you HDRI Rig. I put it in , set the AO Low and rendered …and every single form was black. I rewound your video again and again without finding the trick. I finally used the Fill Light from the Rig Console with about 80%.
But on the video you stay at 0%.
Hast it something to do with the material you used.
I’m using multi-shader and enable color on the random effecter

I’m using r16, HDRI Rig, Topcoat…and I’m pretty new to C4D 🙂
Would be great if I’d understand why it didn’t work
In any case thx for the great tutorial(s)

Excellent tutorial, and a lot of fun to see the results.

Hey Guys!
Just a tip for anyone like me that has to deal with the Broadcast version of C4D, not sure if it translates to any other inferior versions but:
You have to use the Rigid Body Dynamics tag on the actual cloner object rather than the actual geometric object (it only allows rigid body on mograph objects). It all works the same, Also for the extra parts flying out, just duplicate the cloner and apply different parameters on it. As for Variation shader that Broadcast doesn’t have, just use the MoGraph “Multi shader” and manually select a bunch of different colors to use, then apply to the cloner objects. You then have to select the random effector you will use and turn on Color mode which will apply the multi shader to the clones.

Hi Nick,
Great tut which was surprisingly easy to follow.

One (hopefully quick) question: Is there an easy way to make the clones come to a stop?

I’ve extended the scene I have but want the clones to stop bouncing and come to an natural stop way before the end of the timeline so that the scene is still. Thanks.

Loved this tutorial. Check out my version of it here. Couldn’t get the reflections for some reason but went with a different style instead (slightly).
