When i go to drop drop menu and hover on simulation tag, i cannot seem to find the balloon tag in the list. I can only see rigid, soft, collidor, ghost and cloth simulation tags. Can someone guide me on whether there is a hidden checkbox i need to enable or is that a plugin? Thanks
Hi E.J, thanks for your super tutorials, I've been following you for years! Do you know if there is a way to use the technique you use in the tutorial (Baloon > mix Animation > Map > Vertex Map) but at the same time be able to use forces to move the whole object: It seems that no force can move the parts of the cloth excluded from inflation with the vertex map thanks
hey there EJ.I just want to tell you that I really appreciate the hard work you do for us. From the shooting of the videos, editing, thinking about what content to make, thank you very much and I hope that you will always have the strength to continue to deliver such quality content to us
Wow thank you so much for the awesomely kind words - it means a lot that you appreciate all the work that any tutorial artist puts in to make a video! :) Comments like this keeps inspiring me to keep doing them so thank you!
Hey I'm new to C4D. This was the first thing I decided to create! Loved this tutorial but would really like to know how to take it further and look like the end result in the shot you used as the thumbnail. Basically how to make these float and maybe how to make more of them so they all float along side each other. Great work!
@@eyedesyn Please don’t give me wrong and all the respects to you and all 3D artists. This days most of the artists are making ballon’s , pyro and ropes. Ballon’s more wrinkles, less wrinkles but need something very useful to use for real life production. May be 10 balloons are attached with strings floating as a festive decorations. May be creative opening title C4D are capable to do. I have a LinkedIn accounts and I have seen your creative tutorials. But again don’t have so much updates recently. Please forgive me if I say something wrong. Thank you 🙏
Thats a cool thing brother I kinda trying to do the same, I do it in cinema and them I try to replicate in blender aswell, why not learn both programs right? :D
I don't care about any balloons, but the meshing is insane. My mind is stuck in C4D versions from 10 years ago, where all the cool stuff didn't exist yet...
EJ inflated my entire life with 3D skills, he can pump you up too 😅 Jokes aside, he taught me my foundation's in 3D and he can do that for you too!!! School Of Motion C4D basecamp was my gateway drug to motion design😂Thank's for everything buddy!!
My letters have weird bumps that extrude out far more than the broader letter when the balloon animation pumps air into them. Any solution to fix this? Thank you!!
Hey ! Thank you so much for this tut and for all the other ones haha, I saw it month ago without doing it but now I need to make mylar balloons so... Thank you !!
eyedesyn, greets!! 1. Why does my text mesh wiggle or bubble when simulated? This is my fourth time going over it 2. Mesh is not shown in red in Vertex Map.
I'll need more info to help! It might be the scale of your object and you may have not setup the vertex map correctly if you're not seeing nay red in the vertex map
excellent tutorial! When I render video using redshift all the frames come out black. In the Redshift viewer if it renders well. Do you know why it may be happening? thanks bro
For some reason the vertex map colours aren't showing for me, when I apply a vertex map to a different object I can see them but on the remesh there is no colour, any ideas why?
I want to apply some forces to this but seems like the ballons stay on one place and just one part of them gets sucked into the force field. Anyone knows whats the issue?
I was wondering, so why do we have to keep the text centered at the position you mentioned earlier in the tutorial? Can’t we put the object for this affect anywhere in our scene? Thanks for this amazing tutorial man!!
That's done for correct work of zremesher with Z symmetrical option on - faster calculation as a result. But you may check this option off and place your spline wherever you want,
@@fixable Ahh okay, that’s very interesting. Thanks for clearing that up for me! I was super confused. So if we turn off Z symmetry for zremesher but use zremesher, we can still place it wherever?
@@HAJJ101 yes, that's right. Z symmetry works from z remesher origin coordinates, so turning off any symmetry option you may place spline where you want. We are talking about changing spline position. But this symmetry option is really helpful - your mesh would be symmetry along z axis and calculation would be faster. So I suggest to make all of preparations along with this tutorial and then change position of Remesh object. So you will not brake remesh algorithms and everything should work fine. Test it 😉
@@fixable Ohh okay. Will do! Thanks for taking the time to break this all down because I was lost when he did that. Much respect and love🤞🤞🙏!! I will take this knowledge and have a lot of fun with this tutorial finally :)
Very nice tutorial! I have aproblem though when I change the letter in the text spline, it does not update the mesh but it does when I look at the vertex map?
Hey there.Question? How do you add a texture to a plane in cinema 4D say a building front. then you want to move around edges to match teh building front to extrude..However the texture stretches when you move edges or vertex. what is the setting where you can adjust edges and vertex without moving the texture. IN Blender its the correct face attributes but I cant find an answer for cinema 4d....Can you tell me if possible?
I would wait to texture an object until you're done modeling. At that point to get textures mapped accurately you would need to learn how to UV unwrap - so def check out TH-cam for UV unwrapping tutorials!
@@eyedesyn thanks for responding but I have an image of a building front and want to slide the edges to match windows and extrude them it’s in other software like 3Dmax and blender I’m missing something in blender u just check the box correct face attributes
Great tutorial (as usual)! One question, though: what if I want those baloons to float using gravity/wind etc? Since "mix animation" is used, that affect those forces as well and thw whole simulatiuon does not behave realistically. Is there any way to tell "mix animation" to affect only baloon inflating and not the "external" forces?
Thanks for the kind words! :) I would honestly just bake in the wrinkles, etc so at the end of the day you got the balloon mesh with seams/wrinkles and apply the sim tag to that
You can apply Bullet Tag/Rigid Body to the Subdivision Surface group. Gravity may not working properly but wind/turbulence should work. Also you can export as alembic, import again and apply Bullet Tag/Rigid Body to it. Gravity works that way. edit: You can apply Bullet Tag/Rigid Body to the Subdivision Surface group and exclude gravity from balloon tag.
I have a problem where the color does not change even when I press the invert button on the vertex map. How do I solve this?
When i go to drop drop menu and hover on simulation tag, i cannot seem to find the balloon tag in the list. I can only see rigid, soft, collidor, ghost and cloth simulation tags.
Can someone guide me on whether there is a hidden checkbox i need to enable or is that a plugin? Thanks
You may not have it because you're not on the latest version of C4D
@@eyedesyn im on R25.117. Is that the latest version?
There's no balloon simulation tag

With simulations??

Best Balloon text video ever!!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind words!
FINALLY I can make rude gifs to send to my boss with this technique
good luck with that! 😂
You deserve an award. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I'll take the kind comment as my award! :)
Awesome! Thanks EJ. I was wondering how master Guglieri achieved this.
Very welcome - thanks for watching!
Incredibly helpful you're the man!
Glad to hear it!!!
Shiny! Now how about sofa cushions? I always have an issue with those. Never enough friction and either too floppy or too stiff😮
I'd check out Soft Body simulations for more stiff objects! Balloon isn't going to be solid enough
EJ! Nice!! Great setup.
Thanks brother! Keep on rocking your tuts - so helpful!!!
This is great!! Thanks EJ!
Thanks for watching!!!
Watched a few video that you tutorial about clothes simulation, it's super interesting
My letters have weird bumps that extrude out far more than the broader letter when the balloon animation pumps air into them. Any solution to fix this? Thank you!!
You are awesome and I enjoy listening to these great lessons.
well I am not going to lie. this is a great tutorial.
Thanks for not lying and saying it sucks 😂
can you buy from gumroad in the uk? its only dollars
it woud be great if we can have a follow up on how to explode these balloons.
Legend, thank you so much!!

Not too sure, you might want to cache your sim first and see if that helps!
Hi! I'm having problems doing the simulation, it goes too slowly... Is there sth I can do to make it faster or it's my computer?
You can remove polygon density but otherwise it's just your computer not being beefy enough.
You are the best!
Thanks for watching!
love your tutorial! How long does it take to render this? I am trying to render a whole word and each letter is taking a really long time
Depends on your computer setup! For me it took about 20 seconds per frame for a single letter
What kind of computer are you using? Can you write down its specifications? @@eyedesyn
Very inspiring and easy to follow honestly, thanks!
For some reason the vertex map colours aren't showing for me, when I apply a vertex map to a different object I can see them but on the remesh there is no colour, any ideas why?
are you in point or polygon mode?
I want to apply some forces to this but seems like the ballons stay on one place and just one part of them gets sucked into the force field. Anyone knows whats the issue?
I would make the balloon mesh editable (so no sims making the balloon) and then apply a new Sim tag onto it and try that way.
pretty cool, thanx a lot!

Класс!!! Спасибо за урок.
Very nice tutorial! I have aproblem though when I change the letter in the text spline, it does not update the mesh but it does when I look at the vertex map?
If anyone has this problem. I found a very simple fix. Simply drag your text spline out of the extrude and back onto the extrude and it should update.
Sometimes the Remesh, etc doesn't update so you can also try toggling the Remesh/Volume Builder, etc on and off and see if it'll update!
Thank you! Love this!

Increible tutorial!!!
great tut. one side is inflating more than the other side. not symmetrical
thanks! make sure your mesh is symmetrical - it might not be
I’m having this problem too but with certain aspects of the letter. How do you make the mesh symmetrical? Thanks and appreciate these tutorials!
