Secret Symmetry tools that Maxon doesn’t want you to know about!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Maxon has been hiding this from you all along. There is an amazing symmetry tool built right into the core of C4D, but it has been hidden from ordinary folk. Today i finally reveal the dark truth about it.

But if you don’t want to watch the dramatic video, it basically just involves making a pose morph tag, then making adjustments, then copying the pose morph, then right clicking and pressing flip X. Activate both pose morphs and then delete the tag 🙂

use your own rig with mixamo animation in cinema 4d with rigged characters

Use your own rig with Mixamo

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Do you have an existing rig? Do you want to use it with Mixamo animations? and then adjust them to your liking? This is the tutorial for you then!

The Basic concepts is you upload your mesh and joints to mixamo and download an animation, then you merge it back in, and hide the mesh that came from mixamo ( you need to keep it). Then you parent the controllers of your mesh to the joints and now you can use your existing rig to adjust the mixamo animation!

If you are looking for an alternative method to animate the 5j characters without messing about with all the controller parenting, have a look at this video:
