Great Alexander!Bravo!
Great job
Thanks
beatifull thanks.
Same problem as the other people
no jelly effect,
and no help from the original poster, or should that be poser!
Just to let everybody know, to make it work goto your character menu then Soft IK / Bones and press use mokka IK. otherwise you wont get the effect.
I got the same problem here with the jelly effect

I don`t have the mocca setuo IK chain option!, please tell me where to find it
First time I’ve seen a tutorial that helped with rigging. Thanks!
Isn’t this tutorial on the internet? I feel kind of cheated when something is reposted in a way.
That is awesome, so dig it!
amazing
I really love the bones technique;
it is very useful
That is really stunning. Great tut!
Thanks!!!
If people would follow your tutorial exactly it should work fine.
Great tutorial and thanks!
Thanks you for the tutorial. Unlike everyone else I’m having no trouble with the jelly effect, however I am having trouble importing the files into After Effects. I try importing the .AEC file and After Effects CS3 tells me the “file cannot be imported – files of type “****” are not supported.
Is there something I may have missed or done wrong? Any suggestions would REALLY be helpful at this point.
I have a problem I do not see the “Soft IK / Bones “!
What can you do? I have the R12 version
Excelent job… thank you for sharing…
Too expensive. … congratulations … that was beautiful effect …

How can i made this in C4d R12.? I can´t find the menu to set the bones.. soft IK / Bone..
otherwise…how can i manage to set the bones and continue with the tutorial?
Waiting feedback..
Nice tut.
Great!! this is really useful
any up dates for R12 yet ? maybe u should state which version its for
Great tutorial and easy to follow.
I have to try it again since mine didn’t work. I have no idea what went wrong, but when I clicked Main and Play and tried to whip it back and forth it was just rigid. Clearly my mistake somewhere, but I followed the steps perfectly.
Cancel that, I didn’t see the post above by WooWoo:
Just to let everybody know, to make it work goto your character menu then Soft IK / Bones and press use mokka IK. otherwise you wont get the effect.
Once you click Use Mocca IK, then you see the jelly effect. Pretty sure he didn’t mention that.
I’ve never used Cinema 4D before now and I wanted to thank you, Alexander, for all of the fantastic tutorials. Very well done…even a beginner like myself was able to follow along and learn quite a lot.
I also had trouble getting the setting of the bones/mocca IK things right, but finally figured it out: If you undock the characters menu like he does in the video it changes it a bit. In the sub menu of the very top option (bone) you will see “use MOCCA IK” — click that. Now back on the main menu the very top option will have changed from bone to use mocca ik. Again, go in the submenu, and now you can choose bone and it will be correct.
I never would have saw that if I didn’t undock the character menu, so if you are having trouble try undocking.
hey guyz.. R12 suckss.. Use R11.5 cause its has Mocca IK tag haha
