I figured out how to create foam in R21. The trick is in how you create the Vertex Color Map. Here’s what worked for me, 1. Select your plane object 2. Make it editable by clicking "C". 3. Switch to points mode but DO NOT click on your plane to select any points 4. With your plane still selected in the objects panel, go to Tools > Paint Tool 5. Paint a small circle on your plane (it should paint a few points white) This will also create a Vertex Color Map tag on your plane 6. Double click the Vertex Color Tag and hit Apply All (This will turn all of the points on your plane white) 7. Click the Vertex Color Map Tag 1 time. and rename it Jacob. 8. Select Do Jacobian in Hot 4D 9. Drag the "Jacob" Vertex Color Tag to the Jminus Map field in Hot4D 10. Repeat these steps for the "Foam" Vertex Color Map. Remember to click off of the "Jacob" map first.
If anybody is still looking for a solution, I had it working by using the tag Vertex Color instead of doing the Vertex Weight thing. (after converting the object to editable [press C] selecting point mode and clicking on the plane, right click the plane >other tags > Vertex Color). Do it once for the Jminus and once for the Foam. After that I just kept following the video and all went well. Just had to hit play or go to the middle of the timeline before messing with the material otherwise it seemed like nothing was happening.
For anyone who wants to use this with R21 and up and is getting lost with the Foam section don't worry here is it step by step. 1. Instead of going to Select/Vertex Map, hover over the object (make sure it is already converted to Editable PLUS make sure you are in point mode). 2. Go to the plane and Right-Click on the plane and find "OTHER TAGS" *they are alphabetical so it is right after MoGraph tags* 3. Choose "Vertex Color" you will want two of these (instead of two vertex maps). *Click on the Vertex Color once to get the Name section and rename to what you desire - I used J + F for each of them. 4. Then drag these two Vertex Colors into the Hot 4D Foam Group parameters (like the video but now we use Vertex Color not the maps). Make sure you turn on the "Do Jacobian" and you are good to go!
Jminus and Foam map do not work in R21. Entire map color is red and no fractal. Point selection is working. Не работают карты для Jminus и Foam. Ничего не генерирует, карта просто красная. Проверил, просто что-то нарисовал на карте - все ок. Карта выделения точек работает.
@@DIGITALMEAT I figured it out. In R21 you should use Vertex Color Tag RGB. In all the tutorials ppl are using Vertex Waight Map/Tag. I'm not sure if it is intended behavior or a bug...
Thank you so much, its always daunting working with new plugins although this is certainly on the much simpler side with things like FumeFX and the like, its nice to have tutorials like this, thanks for the great work. 💜
Great video, thank you! Also, just a heads up for anyone currently getting this plugin, the newest version no longer needs keyframe animation as explained here; it now animates automatically.
Hi Sam! Great channel mate! I saw in a post down in the comments that you are thinking about an update for the creation of foam with this plugin! Loving the idea!!! I know it's been a while but if you come up with a solve for this in R25, we all, will really appreciate it mate! Cheers!
Ether I am having a stroke or there is a massive opticle illusion in this video!! I was following along with C4D on one monitor and i have yours full screen on the other I could see the waves at first but then i looked away and it turns into a bubbly geometry Its really trippy, Its best seen paused at 07:48. Its like Im tricking my brain into seeing something different And once i see it i can unsee it until I view the plain from a horizontal angle
Something must have changed regarding the foam functionality and R21. I've taken several tutorials in an attempt to get the foam working, and no matter what I try, after applying the vertex map I just see red. The part where you can see the wavy red/white patterns doesn't happen for me. I've turned on the foam, added both vertex maps, etc.
@@drazengojkovic3192 Hey, i tried doing two vertex color tags from the Other right click menu and dragged them into the jminus and foam map, but it doesnt show up at all. Is there any other tweaks that I need to add on? Cheers
@@emmal1862 Hey Emma, I'll look into it and let you know. I haven't used Hot4D for the last couple of months, as X-particles introduced new Ocean object which is pretty exciting, so I gotta refresh my memory on this one. :)
It needs to recompiled for versions above R21... Thankfully someone has already done this, you can find the link in the description of this video: ua-cam.com/video/JjyPMdMPRlU/v-deo.html

It's not working for me, I followed every step multiple times. It works perfectly using the xp ocean but not with hot4d
not working. please, do a video update. WE ARE DESPERATE.

If you kept it going till now you have all the respect that I can give
i swear i've been using hot4d for years and just now i've learned how to use the foam part 😅
Attention peeps! This plugin now works with C4D R21, but now uses the Vertex Color tag instead of a Vertex map.

Thanks a lot🤙🏻
That's so cool!

I'm surprised it works in R21 at all to be honest, I don't think it's been updated for R21
The R21 version uses Vertex Color tag instead of Vertex map for the foam. It works perfectly.
