Firstly I'd like to say hello to everybody, from what I've seen this seems to be a cool place with many kickass C4D users....

OK I got started on C4D last week and aside from the basic stuff I tried to achive something similar to a movie on Maxon's site, the jellydonuts (which, BTW, is what made it for me convincing to jump from Strata to a more serious app) but I get chubby blobs that just float instead of those nice fluidy streaks..... :hmm:

I've got a hypernurbed metaballed particle emitter with turbulence and rotation with the following settings:

Metaball:
hull: 450
editor subdivision: 20
render sub: 5

Emitter:
birthrate: 800
lifetime: 800
speed: 800

Rotation:
angle speed: 30

Turbolence:
Strenght: 60

Thanks :applause:

I can't give you much advice other than I think you should switch your editor and render subdivision amounts...

But I'm surprised you managed to get somewhat similar results already. :thumbsup:

Kirl, it may seem weird but thats how metaballs work, the lower the setting the higher the quality. 5 is really nie quality, 2 is brilliant but sooo slow typically. 20 is garbage Odd and confusing I know but that may help if you have troubles with metaballs

Is Maxon trying to mess with our heads or what? :p
