Base80 can solve your problems!

I have decided to offer some online services to the Cinema4d community. The idea to do this comes from 3D-Attack.
What I can do for you:

  • Problem solving - trouble shooting: send me a problem, I'll solve it asap,
  • Xpresso setup: send me a machine and I'll make it run,
  • Personal training: contact me and we'll setup a schedule and a program.

My areas of expertise are listed in the Categories menu on the right.
If you want training we can work on a one-to-one basis or with a small group.
You can also contact me for a pay-per-minute help on your files or any of the tutorials on this site.
I live in Rotterdam in the Netherlands but will be available during American east-coast office hours. I am a nine to five guy in the wrong time zone ; )
Contact me by leaving a comment, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Or mail me at base80@base80.com
I speak French, Dutch and English.

Hi,
leuk te zien dat er zo'n cinema-knaller in Nederland zit. Ben je verder ook binnen 3d en anim-wereldje werkzaam als in baan enzoo :) ?
Ben zelf van happy ship en op de site van planetx.nl kun je een laatste xpresso -oefening zien bij de bontekoe-trailer, mun collega heeft de zee er grotendeels mee in elkaar gezet :) .

groeten
martin

Ha Martin. Natuurlijk ken ik jullie werk en zo. Ik ben zelf niet met producties bezig of zo, alhoewel ik daar steeds meer zin in begin te krijgen. Als je iets hebt neem dan gerust contact met me op.

I Guru Base80
First, excuse me for my poor english. I've a question, i've made a lot of search without result, i've use majoul's xpresso called instance maker but without success.... This is my problem (humm, humm) I want to duplicate an objet (a perforator, to make window), to a group to another group, for instance a boolean, with the same global position and rotation than the parent object. In fact, i make a window, with window, and so on, i put it in the wall, (a boolean with the wall an null object null object) and i want that the perforator goes "alone" by duplication from the "window group" to the null object in the boolean with the same coordinates as the parent.

Is it possible Doctor?

Thanks if you can help me, and thanks for your talent in C4D

Hi Base 80, I love your work - you solve a lot of peoples problems and are appreciated by many. I wonder if you could assist me. Could you explain you you get such a good Flash output for your C4D animations. The native Flash exporter in C4D doesn't seem to work very well. I've tried rendering animations as stills and exporting to Flash via After Effects but the result is only average. Would you mind giving me some tips on achieving great Flash files, like you do, from C4D.
Many Thanks in advance,
Chris

Sorry I have never done a flash output, this is only GIF animations.
There is a topic on how i do it here: http://www.base80.com/index.php/2007/02/27/workflow

Howdy,

I have wheels on a truck (rotation on the X axis) for which I know the circumference. I want it to rotate once for every circumference distance traveled. I don't want to put it on a spline (the truck has a path). Basically, I want the tire to rotate 1 degree for every 4.625 units of motion.

Thanks so much for your valuable contribution. How can I make a Belt/spline travel around two or more pulleys?
Comment from: Oladotun [Visitor] : 2009-08-04 @ 23:17
I actually want to make a fan belt travel around two pulleys like in a car engine(something dynamic) I love to use expresso. I wish to be an expresso guru like you. Thanks.I deeply appreciate your reply.

Your tutorials are awesome, really professional. Please create a tutorial for heat haze. Not like in the lens effect, because that is scene heat haze, but I would like to create it for a place. I'm trying to make it with plane and a material wich has a transparency+refraction+bump+alpha, but the refraction doesn't respond for alpha, and I can't create a texture for refraction. It's very annoying at the edge of the plane. Please help me!

Thank you,
Norbert Zentai

I really enjoyed reading your interesting yet very informative insight. In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal. Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to reading more of your very current blog postings!!! :D Shooter Game
