There are many ways to do this, using MoGraph is one of them. The simplest solution I can recommend is doing it directly inside Nodes: 1. Add a Switch Node, set it to Vector and add as many different Rotations you like (e.g. 90,0,0 | 180,0,0 | 90,0,90 and so on) 2. Use a Hash Node and set the Minimum to 0 and the Maximum to your Rotations-Count 3. Plug the Index of the Iterate Collection into the Seed of your Hash Node 4. Plug the Integer Output of the Hash Node into the Index of the Switch Node 5. Unfold the Result Output of your Switch Node and add an Angular Unit Node to each Component (X,Y and Z). 6. Set the Mode of the Angular Unit Nodes to "Degrees to Radiance" 7. Plug the Result Outputs of te Angular Nodes to the related Rotation Components of the Compose Matrix Node 8. With the Salt Parameter on the Hash Node you can change the randomization of the Rotations Hope that helps :)

@@realruckli it maybe be a bit too complex for me, but I’ll try it later

I have no Octane, but i see no reason why it should not work with Octane.

Hi Ouss.Motion, you are right, thats something I did not take into account, so you did everything correct. It increases beacause the "Geo to match" also increases in size by every iteration. I added a new setup (V2) into the download files on gumroad. In this file the offset should be always the same. And this setup is also a bit faster ;)

Hi Nikolay, by reading the documentation, base knowledge in programing and linear algebra ... and with a little help from Maxon ;) There are several good resources: www.youtube.com/@CORE4D www.youtube.com/@scenenodestips nodebase.info The C4D Doc: help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/#html/60629.html?TocPath=The%2520Node%2520Editor%257CThe%2520individual%2520Assets%257C_____0 And there are a lot of good example scene inside Cinema's Content Browser. You can also join the "C4D Procedural" Discord Channel if you like, there you can chat with some Scene Nodes Cracks, they love to help :)

@@realruckli awesome 🤩

@@realruckli thank you a lot

@@matteoforghieri thanks. Wich houdini tool would you like to see next in c4d?

@@realruckli omg so many times while watching thoudini tutorials i thought i would love some of those tools on c4d, and now i cannot remember anything! i will write you when something come to mind!

@@realruckli i got an idea, not really from houdini though. tracer object sux and now is also bugged as hell since 2024, it would be nice to have a new and improved tracer object with scene nodes, i tried to do it but i am not good enough yet.

@@matteoforghieri Core4D builds a Tracer in this Tutorial with Scene Nodes. Maybe this is usefull :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-plcWywTcbmM.html

Hi Vasily, there is no "simple" scene because this setup is definitely a bit more advanced and needs some Scene Nodes knowledge. But you can send me a mail (in the channel description), and I can send you the scene file if you like.

@@realruckli Would definitely be interested in that too (fantastic capsule by the way, I so glad that finally someone - other than Maxon and Rocket Lasso - creates useful nodes capsules "à la Blender add-on or Houdini asset" ! Please make more of this ;)

There is a brick wall example in asset browser :)

Yes, reading the doc and with some help from maxon. There is a beginners series on the Core4D RU-vid-Channel if you are also interrested in learning Nodes. www.youtube.com/@CORE4D

The Extrude Node generates the same Polygon Selections as the normal Extrude Object. The End Caps are called "C2". So just use a Delete Node and type in: all-"C2" . This deletes everything except the the End Caps. Hope that helps.

@@BodachStudio its just a simple rock and cristal material mix with triplaner mapping. My tutorials are more about scene nodes, there are a lot of good rendering tutorials out there ;)

The Nodes Modifier can just output the same type as the input. So when you input a mesh it cant output splines, and of course the other way around. You can use a Nodes Mesh, a Nodes Spline or an Object Group Capsule instead

Yes there is. First I recommend to use my newer Plexus-Effect Tutorial, it is much faster ;) . It is called "Fast Plexus Effect". There you can set the amount of connections on the Closest Points Node with the "Maximum Neighbors" parameter, explained at Min 5:20. Hope that helps :)

@@realruckli Brilliant. That's perfect! I am getting a lag between clones position and plexus spline being drawn. I have delay effector as well as dynamic on my cloner - Is there an order of operations thing I'm missing?

@@jackbrown2690 I think this is just in the viewport, should not appear in the render. In terms of the order, the matrix object should be on top, cinema caluculates from top to bottom.

@@nihay1540 so no longer collides or it stoped working completly? You can send me your scene file via mail (in the channal description), so i can have a look whats going wrong there. Could be a problem with a c4d update

@@realruckli Thank you for answering! It works with your files but when I try to replace the object with mine it doesn't work. I sent you my files!

@@fbcreative-j5o hard to tell. You can send me your setup via mail (in the channel description) so i can check it out

@@NitroNTV you can watch my other Tutorial about voxelizing. There I do everything with lego :)

Thats the nature of any grow effect. You can make it smoother by make the resolution of your setup much higer to hide the popping effect. But this will lead in bigger calculation times of course.

I dont know, sorry. I never used Arnold inside C4D

@@Pryaingoffice thanks. Yes you need at least 2024 for this project

Yes, but than the meshing process would no longer work. You can check out my other tutorial calls "Voxel everything...". There we create voxels with cube instances where you can plugin a Sample-Noise-Node or a Hash-Node into the scale to randomize the scale.

@@FangCui-h2h you can bake it to alembic, i think this is the easiest solution. Hope that answers your question

I stopped using octance a while ago, but i remember that there is also a Vertex Tag Node like in Redshift. So it should be the same setup as in redshift. Let me know if it worked or if i told something wrong in my tutorial. docs.otoy.com/cinema4d/VertexMap.html

He's better doing what he does without the constraints of a company telling him what to do.

I think you need an intermediat point, that you can shit around to build kind of an vines effect. You can also access the tangents of a bezier inside nodes.
