04 ANIMATION - ROPES
Added 2019-12-02 16:00:03 +0000 UTCHey there,
I hope you can learn something new this month. This time I am not teaching you a specific scene. Instead I will show you 6 tips and tricks.
so here are the files you need.

Thank you so much! Appreciate the help and quick reply :)

2022-12-16 17:27:52 +0000 UTCDo you mean to use the rope simulation tag?
Arjun Kumar
2022-12-16 17:27:34 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t do it with HoRope anymore, you could try the new engine, that’s way faster and you don’t need to bake alembics
Vincent Schwenk
2022-12-16 17:20:43 +0000 UTCHi Vincent, I have a question. I was trying to recreate the "Follow tracer" animation. You mentioned that you baked all the individual ropes for the scene setup. When you said this do you mean you baked all the sweeps again, or all the elements? And how are you able to easily scrub through the scene even when the sweep and all other elements are still in the scene and active?? I am only able to scrub easily through the animation when I keep the alembics and delete the other elements. Sorry for the long text. Thank you so much!

2021-03-09 14:09:00 +0000 UTCThank you, I got it running on an older version. Also thank you for the great content!

2020-11-04 18:53:20 +0000 UTCFor now you need an older version. Let's hope someone updates the code. If I hear news I will let you know.
Vincent Schwenk
2020-11-04 16:47:44 +0000 UTCAre there any work around if you are on R23, I cannot seem to get the pluggin to work. Or would you suggest trying to find a older version to get it running? Thanks!

2020-11-04 15:36:22 +0000 UTCJust a tip to anyone using this with r21: So I tried this in r21 and everything works great, except that the rope doesn't move with the controllers when you make HoRope editable. Seems like the collision settings in the dynamics tag on each controller is different in r21 when you break the object. Solved it by changing the inherit tag to None and turn off individual elements, and then it works fine again. Just thought I'd point this out in case someone had the same issue.(Matthew Schoen)

2020-11-04 08:56:51 +0000 UTCHey i have this issue too. Dynamics works, but if i try and move the target/root controls nothing happens
Ian Connor
2020-11-04 06:09:08 +0000 UTCMaybe it is a bug my C4D has but if I create a spline and move the points of the spline my dynamics doesn't work. If I create a spline by free hand the Horope plugin works fine. Is this happening to anyone else? By the way im in R21
Rogelio Magaña Bravo
2020-10-27 12:25:43 +0000 UTCAh that's a bummer, thanks for the answer though!
Alistair Benckenstein
2020-10-23 17:24:04 +0000 UTCThe plugin doesn't work in R23, I got the same behavior as you.
Vincent Schwenk
2020-10-22 21:24:48 +0000 UTCI'm having a similar problem in R23. In my case it's installed and I can use it in C4d but when i put a spline into the horope object it doesn't display - all the horope setting appear but no geometry in the viewport besides my bare spline. Any luck with figuring it out?
Alistair Benckenstein
2020-10-22 21:21:33 +0000 UTCDid you unzip the file, is the plugin in your plugin folder? Are other plugins working? Did you download the correct version? https://github.com/pashaho/HoRope
Vincent Schwenk
2020-08-31 09:14:55 +0000 UTCMine R20 doesnt loading this plug, i don`t understand is that problem with programm or with plug. I can't find a solution to the problem. I've watched so many videos on how to solve a similar problem but nothing seems to help. If someone prompts it will be cool. "The plugin simply does not load for me, there are no signs in the plugins. I point the path through the settings, but nothing happens." - the problem

2020-08-30 22:42:32 +0000 UTCYes only splines
Vincent Schwenk
2020-06-29 07:02:33 +0000 UTCHi vicent, does the ho rope only work with splines? I want to apply this effect to a floor lamp but I dont find a way to do it
Endre Nagy
2020-06-29 00:33:46 +0000 UTCYes - some weird pointy bumps are in the render. can i send you a screenshot?
MoGiraffe
2020-03-30 22:06:58 +0000 UTCYour bones are still visible in the render. But they are hidden in your scene.
Vincent Schwenk
2020-03-30 22:00:53 +0000 UTCHi Vincent - Cool stuff! But I got to 8:37 and tried a render with Cloner in Subdivision Surface set high and still have bones showing... they look like elbows on all the curves. Any thoughts?

2020-03-30 20:57:30 +0000 UTCGive your cube a bit bevel, that might help.
Vincent Schwenk
2020-02-24 14:20:45 +0000 UTChey, vincent having an issue with intersecting if I use another geo like a cube?

2020-02-18 20:57:50 +0000 UTCHaha thanks that's so nice to hear😀. There is also one extra tutorial coming that month. Ropy Ropes😍
Vincent Schwenk
2019-12-08 13:39:11 +0000 UTCDefinitely a shoutout to your channel. If one has mastered ropes in c4d is you :)
Thanos Kagkalos
2019-12-08 13:18:01 +0000 UTCAh nice you are the yeti picture guy, perhaps I will subscribe to your channel then. And I am always happy for shoutouts😀
Vincent Schwenk
2019-12-08 12:57:48 +0000 UTCGreat work Vincent :) I am about to do a spline dynamic series myself in the near future, i ll steal some of ur tips i guess :D
Thanos Kagkalos
2019-12-08 12:36:10 +0000 UTCPut the desired object in the hierachy of the bone 0.
Vincent Schwenk
2019-12-02 21:03:13 +0000 UTCthx Vincent! I have a question. How to connect another(rigid body) object to rope end or the start of rope? Thank you again.
Aleksandr Kovaljonok
2019-12-02 20:50:03 +0000 UTCI will also make one tutorial about setting up the best workflow. With tokens and more.
Vincent Schwenk
2019-12-02 17:10:29 +0000 UTCthanks vincent, dope insights! would you mind sharing your default scene setup one day?
