Swinging Sign in Cinema 4D 2025

Learn how to create a realistic swinging sign animation in Cinema 4D 2025 using the new unified dynamics system and Redshift rendering.

This tutorial updates our classic swinging sign setup to work with Cinema 4D 2025’s new unified simulation system. You’ll build a dynamic sign hanging from ropes or chains, using rigid bodies, cloth dynamics tags, and connector tags for realistic movement. The guide covers troubleshooting simulation lag and gaps, baking Alembic caches for smooth animation, and using mesh reformers for detailed ropes and chains. The project file includes fully animated models, textures, lighting, and Redshift settings with an ACES color workflow for vibrant renders. Perfect for motion designers wanting to master Cinema 4D’s latest dynamics features.
