Great effect and exactly the tut I was looking for. But I would say for anyone new watching this, good time to get into the habit of using 1,2,3 keys for your navigation instead of the c4d UI. Feels weird at first, but amazing in the long run!
Bro While rendering that hot light comes before the Object from the beginning of the video.. We need only from when object appears then the hot light should come. so how to hide that light until the object appears.
What's the point of manually drawing the spline when you can just duplicate MoText, hit "C" and extract the spline from the null? You can even pick the starting point manually. Besides that, it's a pretty neat effect.
Hey! The reason i showed everyone how to draw it out manually is because while your method works for most letters some letters like the letter "O" have a second spline ring on the inside of the letter similar to "A", "B", etc. You can't really chose which spline path you want to align it to, so drawing it out yourself you can apply to light to which spline you want! But otherwise this method that you mentioned will definitely speed things up! Thanks for the question!
Good video, like neoqueto points out making the motext object editable and using the spline would be easier. Plus with O, A, B etc you can just delete the part of the spline you don't need. However when I was first learning C4D these kinds of tutorials were great in also picking up extra info, in this case drawing out the spline. So in many ways the more efficient method probably isn't the best in the case of early tutorials. The other thing is putting the emitter as a child of the light will have the emitter remain on the light as long as the emitter is centered over the light. It means if you wanted to play around with the light's FCurves (ie easing in and out of corners) you don't have to worry about the emitter.
It all depends what effect your are going for. If you wanted one continuous burn you’d have to make your spline one long spline. But if you wanted every letter to be separate you’d just have to do it to every letter and key frame them all!
@@NickSawchyn thanks bro appreciated and loved the tutorial i thought i would haver to make it sperate but thought maybe there was a different way...thanks for clearing that up
Thanks a lot man! Exactly what i was looking for, and explained clearrly!

pro trick: watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Casen Anson Yup, have been watching on kaldrostream for since november myself :D
Thanks Nick for the video ! Well done mate
Glad I could help you in your cinema 4D adventure!
Nick Sawchyn i wanted to do something like this but was thinking to get a sparks clip and track it on that path in after effects
That would definitely work aswell! Could possible look better!
Thank you.

I was wondering how you would apply to numerous letters/text etc using this method any advice would be greatly appreciated

@@phantom-ef1ho Awesome! Hopefully it works out!
