CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – XPresso
We still have one problem: you can still drag the cylinder so far that our telescope comes apart. It would be nice
if we could restrict the movement a little. Needless to say XPresso also has a solution for this! Go back to X-Pool
and drag a “Clamp“ node into the XPresso editor. Set its “Max“ value to 300 in the Attribute Manager.
The “Clamp“ node restricts various properties that are transferred to its “Value“ input to a range between 0
and 300. Now we just have to connect the node to the rest of the setup.
Click on the bl ue cor n e r of th e “Cy linder_ small “ node an d open an input for th e
Y-position (Coordinates / Position / Position.Y). Drag “Cylinder_small“ from the Object Manager into the XPresso
editor again and open an output for the Y-position. Connect this output to the “Value“ input of the “Clamp“
node. Connect the output of the “Clamp“ node to the “Position.Y“ input of the “old“ “Cylinder_small“ node.
