Fouko 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 Hi to all, is some one can explain me how can I add air bubbles on a bottle on C4D? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVA8 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 The quickest was I know how to is to create your bubble geometry (presumably spherical), put it in a mograph cloner set to Object mode, set your glass geometry as the object, and depending on how your glass is modeled you may try using the Volume mode on the cloner. Hope that helps! R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R RVA8: It's a good and quick way to achieve this for still image, your right, but how can I do for animation COLIN@MOVECRAFT: Really good tut, but I need bubbles on the liquid from bottom to top.

RVA8 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted bubbles in the actual glass material. My fault. If you're talking about bubbles like in a carbonated drink, probably your best bet is a surface TP emitter with a selection tag. You can make the bubbles follow the surface of the glass or float freely (or both). That and I'd probably add some individual emitters to have a bit more control over the distribution.

Fouko 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 When I read your answer it seems simple. But I don't know TP well. Have you some useful links to understand how to use it easily ? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D.Ruckus 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Hey Fouko, I hastily hacked something together just the other day for a similar idea, although I'm still not sure if you are looking to make condensation or carbonation. For the latter, this could work in a pinch. For the former, munkarts like is pretty awesome ( thx, btw! ) http://www.cstng-shdws.com/mograph/TP_carbonation.c4d So this file emulates basic carbonation and is total crap in almost every way, and most everything should have been done more intelligently. If you look at the xpresso, youll see there are 2 PStorm emitters which generate the particles into two groups; one emitter is the size of the jar and one smaller emitter is for faster, smaller particles. PDeflector is used with the object param set to the inside of the liquid so the bubbles bounce off and stay within the liquid area ( note that this implementation doesnt work perfect ). A dummy object is also set right above the top of the liquid so the bubbles breach the surface a bit then disappear ( die ). Lastly, PBubble is used on each particle group so the particles have a wavy motion as they rise. Anyways, it is what it is and maybe it will help. Some great Thinking Particles references: The Documentation: http://http.maxon.net/pub/r9/docs/manual_tp_9.0_us.pdf Bjorn Marl ( the man ): http://bonkers.de/tp/tp.html Adam Swaab: http://www.adamswaab.com/tutorials/thinking_particles/ and cmivfx also has a nice, indepth paid tutorial by Michael Marcondes I would recommend. http://www.cmivfx.com Cheers! Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nirrad 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) if the bubbles are in the fluid in the bottle its much more simple to use the cloner object in object/volume mode. with 11.5 you can take it a step further by animating them with a few more clicks and 2 simple splines... i have a scene file and preview render but, seriously, i can't upload either with this post?! preview render - http://apps.facebook.com/freedrive/file/963307 scene file (11.514) - http://apps.facebook.com/freedrive/file/963308 Edited September 18, 2009 by nirrad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
