Learning Nodes with XPRESSO - Mirror Deformer using XPRESSO
 

A very useful skill, all users need, more or less, is the ability to read pseudocode (a simplified mathematical recipe) and be able to translate it into a functional workflow inside Cinema 4D. You can do this with XPRESSO or Python, but in this tutorial we will focus on former.
If you visit: http://robotsquids.blogspot.com/2014/10/spherical-mirror-tutorial.html> you will find the recipe to create a Spherical Mirror Deformer, and a very interesting Blog, with various details about the origin of the code and what it does.
In this Video, we will translate that Pseudocode into XPRESSO, and create a fully functional Spherical Mirror Deformer.
We will learn, amongst other things, how to convert various data types, normals and vector magnitudes, how to apply simple math operations, and how to loop (iterate) over the points of an object, so we can read and write the data.
To follow along, a basic understanding of C4D is required.

Siggraph 2020 Tips: Golden Triangles Inspired by Gavin Shapiro
 

During the 3D Motion Show 2020, Gavin Shapiro did an amazing presentation of the setups he used to make his looping animations. His exceptional work can be found on https://gavinshapiro.com
His presentation inspired me to dive a bit more into the Golden Triangle, and show you how to model one, and how to use MoGraph to replicate it so that we can automate the process.
For more information on the Golden Triangle and the Golden Ratio, please visit the appropriate links on Wikipedia:

CV-Effectors: Overview of the Cache Effector
 

CV-Effectors, is a mini Suite of MoGraph Effectors Conceived and Developed by the Cineversity team, that extend MoGraph’s functionality and useability. The aim is to provide specialized tools to make the Motion Design Process Faster, more powerful, fluid, and above all more controllable… or as we say, more “Art Directable”.
In this initial installment, we are introducing the “Cache Effector” and the “Dynamics Passthrough Effector”.
In the following Videos, I will give you an overview of each one of these very powerful Tools, explain what they do, and what problems they were designed to solve, and finally I will give you some examples of how to use them.
