I’ve got a tricky question, do you think this could even be made?

I have been tasked with modeling a few objects with a very specific wood texture. i can't find any premade ones so will probably have to make it myself which I have never done before. I do have a reference image but wondering if I will have to learn a bit of substance designer and create it there or maybe use photoshop? How do you usually create your own materials?

I wanted to test out the toon shading, and I had modeled Calvin and Hobbs a while back. I put together this quick animation to recreate a classic sledding scene.

I know there is a trial and I loved it…..

I’m thinking to buy embergen, is there anything that should hold me back?

Any embergen user telling how is going and how is to combine it with c4d?

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to this sub and to C4D, but I’ve been working with Maya for a long time now. I’m actually rendering with Arnold in C4D and I was wondering if there is a way to export some scenes from Maya and import em into C4D without losing Arnold lights and Arnold materials. I’ve tried Arnold-usd but it doesn’t seem to work properly in C4D, and I’m planning to try .ASS files today. If any of you already know how to do that and wants to share his workflow that would be amazing. Thanks for your help!

Feedback welcomed. I’m relatively new and looking for new ideas and general feedback.

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about career direction, especially in the field of digital design and 3D graphics.

In today’s world, is it better to go deep into one specific area (like character design, motion graphics, or VFX), or to be a generalist who knows a bit of everything across the field of computer graphics?

I keep hearing that specialization is the key to success. But every time I try to go deep into one area, I realize it doesn’t fully excite me. I’m more drawn to learning across different tools, styles, and areas — from modeling to animation to rendering.

Has anyone else had this dilemma? I’d love to hear your thoughts — what path did you choose, and how did it affect your happiness and your income? Did being a generalist help or hurt you in the long run?

Would really appreciate your stories and advice.

Hi, As you can see I have 2 sims, the 1st is reversed to make it look like the particles come and go.

Can anyone offer a better way of doing this so there isn't a join in the middle ?(Obviously the moving particles make this more complex)

Ideally i'd like to do this as 1 sim without having to reverse anything.

Any help much appreciated.

(The above is using the native particle system, it'd be great to stay in there. I don't mind doing it with XP. Have tried XP cover but couldn't get it to cover the object how I wanted)

Thanks.

Hello! I've been seaching for a way to solve my problem for probably 2 hours, but I just can't find any solution in any forums or even Chat GPT which doesn't seem to understand Cinema 4D a lot :(((

Whatever I do, the options for repetiveness and continuation remain grayed out. I just want a simple rotation to be set on loop.

Do you know what could resolve that? It is probably something very simple but it's been a long time since I haven't used that program and I have forgotten about its main functions.

Thank you in advance!

Has anyone done the ENG subs version of this Korean simulation course? Or can you recommend something similar? I'd like to get more into sims but don't know where to start without decent a tutor lead course https://coreofcreative.com/packages/243482?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=ig&utm_id=120215075459190642&utm_content=120218714222940642&utm_term=120218708873680642&utm_campaign=120215075459190642&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0BMABhZGlkAasaWfkSChIBpkkzrZabtIGLmH3hgMsp8hz0K6WVTQ7j7fqLsTHQULvRIOR9ZuPj96ybMw_aem_Ckn0BXQY6va9yA1lYrmmMA

Hello !

While gathering references, we faced a lot of difficulties because there were very few good references related to medical devices.

Honestly, It’s not perfect, our work isn’t anything groundbreaking, but we hope it can serve as a small reference for the design, motion, and graphics of medical devices."

You can watch two series of videos through the Behance link above, and we hope this inspires the creation of even more amazing medical-related videos in the future.

Thanks to the overwhelming support you gave me last time, I, as a rookie designer, was able to join a company and work together with my team to share this project with you all !

We are a small studio based in Seoul, South Korea. This time, we were commissioned to create a full 3D motion graphic video for an ultrasound medical device. Despite the short timeframe, we successfully delivered the final product to the client.

Once again, thank you for cheering me on and encouraging me in the past despite my shortcomings. If I get the chance to work on another great project, I’ll share it with you all again!

Hey guys, I was wondering if i could create something like this in Cinema 4D ? (This was made in rhino). Everytime I try to use the tension setting with the bridge tool it gives me nothing remotely close to what I want, it's really annoying. Thx !

Hi everyone!

Lately I’ve been exploring a more painted look in cinema 4d and redshift, having watched both seasons of arcane. It was slightly tricky and I ended up working between photoshop and c4d quite a bit. I ended up creating my own painted textures and working with very high contrast lighting and exaggerated normal / bump maps for the graphic look.

I know blender has its own paint system and it’s quite easy to get the look, does c4d have a workaround for a painterly look?

If you would like to see more and support my work please feel free to check out my instagram !

Made a cute little animation of the perfume Pine by Stora Skuggan

This is partly directed towards Maxon, but also to anyone else that might know, but will Sasha's frozen rose presentation from NAB ever get released? The uploaded recap on YouTube still displays the wrong title for the wrong presentation sadly, so just curious if those who weren't present at NAB will ever get to see it?

I'm really curious how Pyro has been used in this way, unless the title is totally misleading.

For reference, Sasha's NAB 2024 Burning Rose presentation is here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SwF07YPdfU

Hey guys, so this matresses brand want to have 360 view of their products as well the possibility to use it for AR, they already tried making it with a another studio but they dont like the finish look because they feel like it looks bad/fake. I told them its because its not rendered, as in final render look, and that they would need a frame by frame animation for that. but they told me they want to solve it with a USDZ or GLB file. Is it possible to get this files to look actually good when exported like glb??

I need to render 600+ productshots for a client. I converted all the PDF labels to PNG and i have all the models textured and lit, ready for render (Redshift is the render engine). Now... I need some advise on how to automate a couple different processes:

- I don't want to manually duplicate materials one by one and load in 600+ PNG's to color channel one by one. Is there a way to automatte this process?

- Is there a way to automate the process of applying the different materials to the model?

- Afterwards, I need to batch render all 600+ products. How can I automate this part?

Anyone with any good ideas?
