Illustrator – text for Cinema 4D

admin — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:40:40 +0000

For some reason, not many fonts work in Cinema 4D, so you have to use illustrator. Here is a text tut.
00. Make a document same size as finished render. Just to keep everything consistent.
01. In Document mode set the project as RGB
02. Don´t have fill, stroke or styles. A client once gave me a illustrator 3D extrude file to work with, and it was a hard job to clean this up all the paths you get when you import it to c4D.
05. Center text in center of the document to CMD + X CMD + V.
06. CMD + R to reveal ruler. Drag from corner to center to reset the ruler. Use the transform handles to the text as a guide
04. Convert the font to outlines
03. Cinema only imports illustrator files saved for illustrator 8, When you choose save as you will get this option

In Cinema 4D

01. File- Merge objects
02. Hit OK on the window coming up
03. If you use illustrator 5. Got to attribute manager in Cinema 4D, and set the position X Y Z to 0
04. Add a Extrude NURBS, make the text a child of the extrude nurb.
05. In Extrude NURBS- object properties, select Hierarchical.
06. Done! for good looks add Fillet Cap under Caps. A nice one is Steps 3, radius 1.
07. In the object tab under Attributes adjust the depth for the text under movement.

Hair MINI tutorial

admin — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 20:41:07 +0000

01. Add hair to the sphere
02. To only edit the hair, go to the attributes manager. In this case I only adjusted Hairs and set the hair count to 20000
03. Use the tools in the Hair module to brush, curl, grow etc. I recommend to focus on one tool at a time so that you can switch between the selection tools under the hair module and the other tools using the space bar. I find it a bit tricky to select the hair guides. It seems like rotate tool only works if you have used the move tool first. On the image below I only used the material settings to make the curls.

01. To make the curls I only used Tighten in the hair material to 5%
02. The clump the hair together I set Clump to 100% in material.
03. Now add some crazy colour and add it to text or something! Yaii

More coming up later!

Here you can see the environment for the cupcake. I´m soon going to start the shading. I want this final result to be very chessy… my After effects teacher told me that cheesy is a good thing.. Add particles and lens flare and then it´s good to go!

cupcake without shading

I have started a new 3D illustration. This is one of the objects that will be in the image. I will do the shading in the end to see how to looks with the rest of the objects I will add. The sketch is just rough concept.

Here is a 3D model I´ve been working on the last couple of weeks. It´s not 100% complete.. It´s all done in Cinema 4D.

Done!

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 15:17:23 +0000

I´m aching to start new projects, so for now I´m going to say I´m done with this, even though I could sit and tweak it for days
It´s all done in Cinema 4D

More work in progress

Here is a new illustration that I´m working on in Cinema 4D. I´m going to wait to finish the other one I worked one because it requires too many 3D models to finish in a couple of weeks since I do this in my sparetime:) I want this illustrations to look like paper in the end, so that´s why I have used so many low poly objects. Tomorrow I´m going texture hunting
