Hi! Question:
I’m trying to make a blob falling to the ground working in Lens Studio. I’m using dynamics in Cinema 4D, but can’t seem to get it to work in Lens Studio. Is it simply not possible to use prebaked deforming meshes? When imported it only displays as a sphere that bounces down and rolls over, no deformations at all.
This is what it looks like when the ball has landed on the floor.
What system are you using?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Lens Studio?
Is this issue causing Lens Studio to crash?

Please enter a brief description of your issue:
Unfortunately, it's likely due to the operating system or hardware you're using – since they don't meet the system requirements for Lens Studio.
Still, we hear you loud and clear, and are logging the issue in case there's ever a workaround we can provide!
Minimum Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit); MacOS 10.11+
Hardware: Minimum of Intel Core i3 2.5Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6Ghz with 4 GB RAM; Intel HD Graphics 4000 / Nvidia GeForce 710 / AMD Radeon HD 6450 or better; screen resolution of 1280x768 or higher
Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Hey Simon,
Unfortunately you cannot use Cinema 4D's deformer animation and export it to Lens Studio at this time.
You can create a simple rig for your character and then export it to Lens Studio using the FBX file format.
If you want to learn more about animation and exporting it to FBX, please follow the Cinema4D export guide.
Best,
Kaitlyn
Alright, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to this functionality! :)
It seems interesting that a character rig can deform meshes but you can’t do it “manually”. Will be fun eventually I guess :)
