It's the first time I've done something with Cinema4D and I love it!


This is my result:

Looks sweet, nice start, better than most starts in Cinema 4D.
Although it could look better, in my opinion boxes don't make good vases
so, I am going to help you improve it with this little tutorial I just made


(lol I just opened up C4D and got a merry christmas scene loaded something from the programmers, you get this? )

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND I AM USING CINEMA 4D 6 SO THE INTERFACE MAY VARY SLIGHTY TO THE LATER VERSIONS

---

Thanks Seppuku,

I tried the spline method and here is my result:


But I liked the first vase better.

---

i see the next biggadd

---

Thanks DarkBasic MAD!

---

Is that a Demo? Or the full version?

---

Cinema4D r9.5 demo
Man I love that program! I want to buy it but it costs so much

---

nah. 300 bucks isn't so much for a modeler i use it and it ROCKS!!!

---

Ice...your signiature is gonna get taken down...its 700*200, gotta keep it below 600*200, mines been taken away for less. lol

---

Same here, I kept the removal sig for about a month lol, until mr Insanity here mentioned I should change it So I did and got in trouble for swearing.....

---

Well i like the vase anyway. tis good! I think it should have rockets, and lazers on it....... Actualy.... Brb.... i need to go and...erm.... do something.

---

I give to you!!!!!!! RocketVase!!!!!!

aaa... o dear.

---

Hmmmm Crunchy....

---

lol @ BigAdd, where can I buy one of those, they were sold out in Argos, and well Suzzane at woolworths is too stuck up to put them out on stock

---

@BigAdd: How do you make smoke or other particles in cinema 4d?
Or is there any tutorial? Because I can't find any.

---

I have found out how to use particles and this is my result.

---

Very Good. That from the meteor tutorial?

Seppuku... I got mine from Currys.

---

Tell you what, considering so many people have got into Cinema 4D. I may do some tutorials for you guys. Keep a look out on the forums as one is coming your way.

---

Thats' nice BigAdd Thanks

Yes it is from the mteor tutorial.

Now I have made a glass:




But I have a problem. I used Spline and Lathe Nurbs for the glass, and there are no shadows. Why?

---

lol... classic mistake... Your glass will be set to 100% Transparent!

in the Transparency setting turn brightness to about 85%.

---

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks.

---

wait, whats wrong with your C4D???? you only have like 5 spline options... are you not using 9.5?!

---

Cant you read?

---

what?

---

he stated above that he was using a older version

---

@Big Add, currys, of course, why didn't I go there? Oh well

@DB Newbe, I'm using an old version, I'm saving up for 9.5, actually I was about to check ebay as I get payed friday

---

Blergh... I dont Trust Ebay.

---

Nor do I, unless they live near me, and I can just go around their house and pay in cash and get it there and then
I mean I found 8.5 buy it now £20, but had no images, and 9.5 on a bid of a couple of quid, and a day to go...but I didn't feel trust for it

---

I haven't found any tutorial on how to model a gun in Cinema4D so I made one my self. C&C Please

Here it is:

---

looks kewl dude

---

Thanks Seppuku

---

geometry looks a wee bit funky from here, looks like you have been using triangles, triangles are the 3D modellers nightmare really, as no matter what you do, they disfigure your model, my advice would be to use quads or n gons, never tri's, if you need triangles for game input, then you can triangulate later.

Other than that, still its a pretty good first C4D gun

---

I just used triangles in the line aboth the trigger, anywhere else I used polygons.

And what are N-Gons?

---

Wow cool Model! An N-Gon Alows you to make a polygon face with an unlimited amount of sides. So 1 Polygon Face could have 20 sides.

---

Thanks BigAdd!!

Can I only use N-Gons in Cinema4D v9 or higher?

---

Yeh N-Gons are a Cinema 4D thing. well, C4D 9. You cant use them in games.
