I’m new to Cinema 4D and 3D modeling animation but very experienced in 2D VFX and motion graphics. R21 Win 10 here.
I have a project that involved merging a bunch of FBX files from a client and animating a client supplied C4D model they purchased online. I’ve no trouble merging the animations with a motion clip to create the full character animation.
I can bind this animation to the built in “figure” primitive in 3D by selecting root of both and bind command. However, this does not work with client model or a couple of free models downloaded from Turbosquid.
I’ve tried both binding to just bones and whole model as per this tutorial
