Through breakdown . Thanks for the clear demonstration of the node graph

[@yehonataniiii]

I really appreciate your style of teaching. Great stuff!

[@AnimGraphLab]

Fabian, thank you so much 💛

[@yayitsyasuo]

soo comprehensive and well thought

[@yayitsyasuo]

very high quality tutorial, thank you so much

[@FaddyVFX]

Great video, i like it 😊 Nice work. It encourages me to creat more video and learn new tools.

[@RMAFIRE]

Supreme !! 🤯💫

[@Eyes261]

Awesome thank you!

[@OnkAnCa64]

great, thanks

[@traceurAlex]

i bypasss the wrangle expression by using match size node with center min to z and using a sort node and choose close to origin so the bottom point will always be the 0 !

[@tommyehrlich5486]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I am having a few problems though.
The bottom part of my strings are all in the right position when viewing through the glue constraint, but when I add the dopnet they all go to the 0, 0, 0 coordinates. Apart from that everything works perfectly!
How could I fix that?

[@kyozhan7172]

hello,balloon is bowed here and there after adding the vellum weld @21:00,why?

[@user-uv3hj1sd2c]

Thanks for making this tutorial. How did you created integer attribute on vellum solver?

[@FabianStrube]

Thanks! By selecting the vellum solver and in the Parameters tab there is a gear icon on the top right. There you can change the Parameter Interface and add any Attributes you like

[@eddielivingstone6617]

I was having issues with the mesh exploding and I think it was due to the merge order i was using when merging the geo / constraints. Seems this matters so be wary of this

[@ShawarmaBaby]

Hey man if I buy your hip file from gumroad will i have access to copy that vellum solver with Pop or Detach attribute to my own hips? By the way GREAT tutorial

[@FabianStrube]

Thanks! Yes you can access every node and copy it wherever you like!

[@ShawarmaBaby]

@@FabianStrube Perfect! In another time i will search how you modify the vellum solvers

[@felixbaker3160]

Really nice tutorial! I just have the problem that the string just keeps expanding, it doesn’t really hold the balloon..do maybe know what could cause this?

[@FabianStrube]

Thanks alot! I would try to lower the mass of your balloon and/or higher substeps on the vellum solver.

[@felixbaker3160]

Thanks a lot I will try it!

[@paulburns9854]

Is there a way to achieve this in blender

[@wuramkesvfx]

Hello, just wanted to let you know I tried to download your file but it says not currently for sale.
Lovely tutorial

[@FabianStrube]

Hey, thanks for mentioning it. It works for me, not sure why it does no work for you :/

[@gerardocastellanos]

​@@FabianStrube I can't buy it either (from spain)

[@FabianStrube]

here is another link: drive.google.com/file/d/1SNEh35t8-zcDfWlHiopusQ6SZEXcvHsI/view?usp=sharing

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

pls make a materialX tutorial, there is no one on internet

[@KonstantinMagnus]

Ideally one, that considers importing point and primitive attributes, maybe even arrays, I'd say ; )

[@ashaaibi]

I want someone to hold the balloons, how can I animate the string_ground_pin position to their hand please?

[@FabianStrube]

Hi Kyle, you can select a point on your character's hand as a pon for the string and set it to match animation :)

[@ashaaibi]

@@FabianStrube thank you!!

[@battleaxeproductions2218]

what if i wanted to detach the string at the ground level?

[@battleaxeproductions2218]

I also can't work out how you added the detach integer to the vellum solver

[@vytasrauckis6703]

I'm sorry, but I found at least 4 C4D tutorials that made dynamic bunches of balloons and the all took from 7 to 15 minutes to do from scratch This took 36 minutes and it was already built. I really regret getting Houdini this year and want to go back to C4D, especially with its new powerful particle system.
