Voxel everything with Cinema 4D Scene Nodes 

glad you like it. And thanks fo the tips!

Thx Ruben. I think there is no way to get the object color in to octane. But i‘m working on a tutorial that creates a voxel mesh insted of clones, i think with this one you could transfere any texture via vertexmaps to octane. So stay tuned 😉

@@realruckli "Great!!! I'll be waiting

There is no vdb workflow in scene nodes yet. But i think you could do something simular with de volume builder

Defenitly doable, maybe i‘ll give it a try in the future :)

Yes, you could place it under a Fracture or Voronoi Fracture Object (reomve the source point inside the Voronoi Fracture). Make sure on the Object Group Capsule the Instance Mode is set to "Instance". And you have to recolor it via a Plain Effector (use Field-Colors and drag the Vertex Color Tag in to the Fields)

@@realruckli thanks a lot for your quick answer

I will not make a second part, but there is already an example file for this on my gumroad :) . Its actually pretty easy.

Yes it should also work with render instances. But i never had a special use where i have to switch to render instances

Hi QLapsus, of cours, you can plug in every geometry you like. You also can build object switching mechanism with a switch node and a modulo- or hash-node. But because every voxel has the same size, the different objects should also have the same size.

Thanks for your reply :) @@realruckli That's indeed what I thought, you can't plug any object with a different size, like a 2x4 or a 1x3 LEGO... sad I guess it will be a much more complex setup

Yep, definitly doable but way more complex

I now made a setup with different bricks (1x1, 2x2 and 2x3). Not super fast but with some additional settings :) . You can download it via gumroad

Dope ! I will go check it out

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

Yes of course, see the my reply to the comment from @taunttd. You can download the example files on gumroad. Cheers

I think the name didnt change. Should still called object group

Do you mean all cubes as single geometry? When you convert the Object Group Capsule the color should remain as display color for each cube

@@realruckli I have used current state and export on the capsule. It gets the geometry but the colors/uv/texture is lost. It is very interesting. I'm wonder if some geometry node should be used to construct those parts? The instanced objects default color is used no matter how I try to make this editable. Maybe a hull extract like the fracture effect would work.

@@realruckli Oh, sorry I get an intance object after I convert. Then that object convert again to clones of the orignal object and not the original clones. Thus the colors are lost. If there is away to get this to work and still use the good ol covert to current state tricks from the past then this would become a game changer!

@@illunz You have to switch the Instance Mode of the Object Group Capsule to "Instance", than you get geometry instead of instances when you convert it. Is it that what you are loking for?

I will try that once I get to my workstation. Thanks for the tip! I will let you know how it goes!

Yes, connect them first with a connect object.

Hmm not sure. Maybe try to cache your volume/pyro sim or even bake your Volume Mesher as alembic

I dont know, depending other comments, i think there is no option yet with octane, sadly

@@realruckli Sad, thx for answering LOL

You can pipe it through a plain effector node and add a field node. Long time a go i tried this, but should work i gues

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I had no luck with it. Model keeps disappearing. I figured I could toss them all under a Fracture generator and add effectors that way but also no luck. I'll keep playing with it! Amazing stuff man.

I tried it. There ar two ways, one with nodes and one by using ah classic effector directly on the capsule. Downside of the second solution, it just works when the capsule is set to normal instances, so not the best solution fo a huge amount of clones. You can download both examples on gumroad. Hope that helps

Yo I'm speechless...honestly starstruck. Thanks a ton man! Honestly! @@realruckli

Hi mitch. Im not a Octane guy anymore. Other octane users said there is no solution to get the object color in to Octane, at least for now.

Yes you can use the efector node together with the field node. I think there is an explanation for that in the documentation of those nodes

I forgot, i made already a example file for that, you can download it on gumroad :)

I think there is no way to get the colors to octane for now. Other octane users already tried with no luck

@@realruckli could it work with redshift? i mean to work with a redshift material so i can add reflection and emission to the the material.

Yes of course, i explain it at Min 22:30
