How to make a shatter effect in cinema 4D

Hi
I'm trying to use the shatter effect in Cinema4d but in the lite version available through AE the collision and simulation tags are not available. So how one can use it without the simulation and collide tags  available?
Claude

Yes but how? I've a tutorial and in the process you have to use the simulation and collide tags which are not available unless there has been a problem while the installation of the program was done?
The whole problem is that I have to break a building and I tried as you suggested the other day with Shatter to use a gradient but I must have used it wrongly because it did not work. This morning I found on Creative Cow a way to stop the pieces falling by setting with a key frame the gravity to 0 and viscosity to 1 but the result is rather artificial  as some of the pieces stop falling in mld air which is ridiculous. I tried then Cinema 4d following Sean Frangella tutorial and that's when I discovered that the essential commands were missing in the lite edition. I must say I find it a bit harsh to put a link to a software knowing that essentials commands will be absent.
I'm not petroleum magnate to spend the price of any of Maxon's offers for the full product. I'm an amateur trying to have a kind of original editing of his videos.

  • How to Make the Shatter Effect Travel Outside the Original Comp

    Hey guys,
    So I'm trying to shatter a jpg image that I imported into After Effects 5.5, all is going well with the look, but I'm having a problem.  The shatter has the pieces floating upward as intended, but the pieces are disappearing at the border of the image. It would appear the image itself bounds the effect so that pieces cannot float beyond into the remainder of the composition area.
    Is there a way to make it so the pieces can float out beyond where the image is? Thanks in advace.

    Is this the effect you're trying to achieve? 
    If so, it was created by scaling down a red solid and pre-comping it using the following settings.
    Then go back to your original composition and apply your shatter effect to the pre-comp.

  • How to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps using 4 fingers on iPad ?

    Hey guys,
    So how to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps (first or last app) using 4 fingers on iPad iOS7 ? Any examples ?
    Thanks!
    Ivan

    Please do not double post the same question.
    Just like I said before. Animate X scale and position. Set the anchor point of the left image to the left side. You can then use an expression or just generate keyframes for scale. When you flip to the next screen then animate position. Easy basic animation except for the bounce. Key framing the bounce so that it looks natural takes a lot of experience or an expression.
    Google bounce expression after effects and find this. http://www.motion-graphics-exchange.com/after-effects/Wiggle-rubber-bounce-throw-inertia-e xpressions/4ad0f32a944ad
    There are a bunch of other solutions.
    There is no single click solution to this problem and it is not an effect, it is an animation.

  • How to make build in effects start automatically on slide transitions?

    I believe this should be a simple answer, but it is escaping me, and 30 mins of googling for the answer hasn't led to a solution to this problem: *How do I make the first build in effect start automatically on transition to each new slide?*
    I need this for a very simple presentation I'm putting together: Each slide has two lines of text; one at the top of the slide (like a question), then another on the bottom (the answer).
    As I advance to each new slide, I want the question's build in effect (Scale Big, By Letter, Forward) to happen automatically. On the next click, the answer text will appear (also Scale Big, By Letter, Forward).
    On the next click, it should advance to the next slide and the next question should appear with the build-in effects. And so on...
    Should be simple, but it's alluding me. Thanks in advance for the help!
    Cheers, Patrick

    How do I make the first build in effect start automatically on transition to each new slide?
    You can read about this feature in Keynote in the Keynote help menu: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Keynote/5.0/en/kyntc693f26f.html
    Go to the slide in question.
    Go to the Build Inspector.
    Click on Build In.
    Click on "More Options" at the bottom.
    Click on your first build.
    Change "Start Build" to "Automatically after transition".
    Hope that helps.

  • How to make a color effect

    hey,
    how can I make in adobe premiere pro this color effect? (looks like x-ray)
    thank you!!

    It might be a tad complicated.
    Because the hands stay pretty much the same, a simple invert might not work.
    It might require that the highlights and shadows be inverted individually, leaving the midtones alone.
    First try inverting the lightness, and try the luminance. Once of those might be sufficient.

  • How to make color photo effect ?

    Hi there,
    I have a school class photo of my daughter taken some 6 years ago taken in colour.
    Now the affect i wanna do is to turn the rest of her classmates in black & white, except my girl stands out in colour.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    If that filter is not good enough, it looks as though you will have to spend hundreds of pounds on Photoshop!
    However, would you be interested if I offered you an application, completely free of charge, which for most people is just as good as Photoshop?
    You would?
    Well there is one . . . . . it's called "Gimp" and can be downloaded here:-
    http://www.gimp.org/
    Don't be fooled by the odd name and the cartoon-like icon. This is a fully featured, professional quality application.
    SORRY! I thought you said you hadn't got Photoshop, but it looks as though you have.
    Anyway, the tip might be useful for somebody else, viewing this thread, who doesn't have PS.

  • How can I make a "Pokeball Effect" ?

    Hello there,
    I've been looking all around the Internet for some sort of Tutorial for how to make a "Pokeball Effect", I've also tryed, without luck, coming up with something myself
    I've tryed CC Light burst, Light Sweep, Light Rays, etc..
    This is what I'm trying to re create
    http://youtu.be/9BG6tRQf7aM?t=11s
    Effect takin place at around 11 seconds in
    The light takin over the rig, and going into the pokeball
    I'm doing most inside Cinema 4D but I think making the light itself would be better if I could somehow make it in After Effects
    So it's the light I'm looking to make
    The light covering the rig, and disappering into the ball
    Anyone have a trick or something, It would be greatly appreciated!
    (I'm using After Effects CC)

    If you are looking to recreate this:
    You need layers not a plug-in applied to a single layer. There are blend modes going on here  (add and maybe screen) some blurring, and animated shape created with a mask or a shape layer, opacity changes, some light bursts. I would start with a master animated shape, duplicate it 3 times, blur the top copy a lot and experiment with blend modes to get the red glow, add a blur and a light glow to the second layer and experiment with blend modes, and add some simple particle effects to the third layer.

  • I  need help with Shatter effect

    For the first time in my life I've chosen this effect. I'll be quick, I need to blow up Moon, but when I put shatter to it I can't see the moon anymore, I tweaked those settings, nothing. I can only see the trajectory of Moon's revolution I created. Any help tweaking those settings?

    There are resources here that show you how to use the Shatter effect.
    You description of your problem isn't very clear (Screenshots help.), but I'll venture a guess:
    You haven't set View to Rendered in the Effect Controls panel for the effect. So, you're just seeing the wireframe representation of the forces and such.
    Please, do us all a favor and read the documentation for features before using them and while you use them. There's a search box in the upper-right of the application window.

  • How to make this effect ? ( video )

    Hi all
    how to make the screen blink dark like in this video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TszuTgFx93U
    starts at 0.46 end at 0.50
    can anyone tell me hows it called ?

    If you mean this effect and then changing to a black screen then this is a glow with an add blend mode and a blur followed by a black layer multiplied with opacity keyframes.
    I would put the video on the bottom layer, then add an adjustment layer and set the in and out point of the adjustment layer to the length you want to have this effect. It's only a few frames in the sample video. Then I'd go to the middle of the adjustment layer and add Glow to see if you could get close to this effect. Then I'd animate the opacity of the adjustment layer from zero to 100 over a few frames. I'd then set a new black solid above that and set the blend mode to Multiply. Set the in point just past the second keyframe in the adjustment layer and set the opacity to 0. Then move in a few frames and set the opacity of the black solid to 100% and set the out point of the adjustment layer to the same spot. Then move down a frame or two and set another opacity keyframe for the black solid at 100% then move down a few frames and set the opacity to zero and set an out point for the black solid.
    Figuring these things out is just a matter of looking at the frames and trying to figure how to stack layers up to achieve the effect. Grab some stills from various parts of an effect you are trying to copy and then try and figure out what you could do to the footage to get the same result. Only a few of the effects you see are just a single plug-in applied to a single layer. This is the best way to learn After Effects.
    Here's what a comp would look like using a frame from the sample video. Note that the adjustment layer and the black solid are only a few frames long. I made a quick stab at the color grading of the frame by making some adjustments to the A and B colors of the glow, added some blur, and added a little color correction to the adjustment layer using curves. This should get you started.
