Very helpful! I’d love to hear a bit about the difference between these and “Thinking Particles” at some point.
On a side note – the “citygen” plugin doesn’t seem to work with C4D 11.5.
Is it possible in the future, to include some of the project files. And maybe a little info on what system the plugin Citygen works best with, Great stuff, keep it up.
Hi Dave -
Thanks for the nice comments. That’s a great idea. I had a suggestion from someone to review what the different modules are. That might be a good one to compare the two so people know whether to invest in T.P. (not toilet paper)
Are you using Mac or PC. I guess this is a PC only version. I have yet to try it on my R11.5 install on my PC.
Hey Ted -
I’ve been trying to decide on whether to upload any project files. Most of what I do, I do while recording and they are kind of crappy to be honest. Do you think having them as a reference would be helpful?
Yea, the whole CityGen thing got messed up. I wasn’t aware that it only worked on PCs. Since we have PCs here that’s all I knew. As for which versions of C4D it works with, I read it wasn’t supposed to work in anything after 9 I believe. I have used it in 10, 10.5 and 11. I’ve yet to try it with 11.5 though.
I’m on a Mac – maybe that’s the issue. Seems like a great plugin – wish there was one for OS X!
Hey!!
Thanks for ALL your Tutorials,the are great
been working my way thru them.
please keep up the good work
thanks!!!
Great tutorial! I hope you decide to post the project file for this one and the others as well! Well done!!!!
Awesome tutorial. x-presso seems more complicated to me. This is simple and clean.
very good tutorial!
thx : )
Thank you for saying so. It’s nice to hear that people are enjoying our C4D tutorials and finding them useful!
WOW!!! thanks so much for all these tutorials. Ive learned more from you than from the cineversity website…free version that is. You are easy to follow. This particle tut was fantastic! I have ideas for so many projects now. thanks!
I don’t have SHAPE option in the Gravity attribute window…I am using C4D 12???
