While waiting for 9.5 maybe this can be useful.

A little summer exercise in animating a sphere (the whole wip is on the french forum)
The animations are all done without keyframes, this is all xpresso with a “one-slider” setup using the range-mapper node. See the xpresso part of the site for some range-mapper fun.
Heavy gifs ahead!

If you are animating a random movement with xpresso use the Noise-Node and not the Random-Node.
On the left the cube is moved by noise on the right by random.

When you open a new document in Cinema4d the whole thing is empty, very very empty.
If you want to have materials, lights and scene elements loaded at startup you have to create a “New.c4d” document containing those elements and materials in the Maxon/Cinema4d directory.
You can put whatever you want in this document and they will always be there when creating new documents.

Some helixes are just too hard to make with the helix-spline.
Here is a formula-spline to make a helix that is more compact at the ends.

Here is the latest “Base-Car” Xpresso.
Base-Car is an easy set-up to animate your cars. The car follows a given spline. You can set up the length and other parameters of your car in the User-Data of the Car-Sys Null-object. This latest version handles a bumpy terrain and has a suspension system. Enjoy!

Hi C4D users!
I have decided to move base80.com forward. I will blog from now on.
This way it is possible to update the site more often and it is done in a breeze.
I will do tutorials, provide models and talk a lot about xpresso.
This blog will also serve as a quick-tutorial site, I will provide answers to questions asked in forums here, so they are easier to find at a later date.
If you have questions or suggestions please drop me a mail.

I am discovering the new features of the Cinema4d 9.5 demo.
Not much new in the xpresso area except the Bitmap-Node.
At first glance this node seems totally innocent and quite useless.
But as I am discovering it, I find very practical uses of it.
I’ll do some small tutorials about the node when I get my real copy of Cinema4d 9.5
For the moment I will just explain the node and its ports.
