Well. I recently got C4D, kinda really really tough program for me to get it right and understanding each sets. So i came up with several question if you guys wouldn't mind helping me out. 1. How do you guys save the file to gif format? Steps would be really helpful 2. Any of you guys know where i could get more 3D texts tutorial for C4D beside Pixel2Life? A handy site with great tutorials would be amazing and lovely to have Well that's it for now i guess Looking forward an answer from expert of C4D users Sincerely, Eddy
Text tutorial: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Extruded-Text/10610 To save with a certain format you go to: Render > Render Settings > Save > Format (Pick which you want) Then Render > Render to picture viewer When the image is rendered out in the picture viewer File > Save Done.
^ Saving it there still doesn't get me the option as a .gif I tried opening with imageready but couldn't read it Mahou - Thx! I will just look ath the picture l0lz IF you have more i would love to see them Aedus - Which format you recommend the most and the settings? How about saving it with the animation? Thx for the tutorial link!
Oh you want to animate? Save them as any format you want in Save (Doesn't HAVE to be .gif), probably TARGA or PNG being the best quality Go to Render > Render settings > Output Where it says frames, pick manual, and change it to the frames where the animation is (I.e. you animated spinning starting frame 0 and ending frame 40, enter 0 + 40) Then go to Save, and in "path" make a new folder and give the file a save name Render > Render to picture viewer EACH FRAME will be rendered into the folder you chose the path as So say you saved it under pictures/Logo/Mylogo.PNG It'll be: pictures/Logo/Mylogo.PNG pictures/Logo/Mylogo1.PNG pictures/Logo/Mylogo2.PNG pictures/Logo/Mylogo3.PNG Open image ready up, import the folder with all of the frames in and save it as a .gif Done
Aedus - Awesome, thx a lot and worked as well [+]Rep! I have another question to ask 3. How to i change the texture of the text? Like changing it to another color and load my own textures? 4. How do i set the floor with a nice reflection? 5. The animation only fits for white bg only, how can i make it look nice for black bg? Sorry for the several question guys. I just need to manage this thing well
to change the color of the text u have to load your mats and once you load them or make them just drag and drop them on to your text and idk if u have the floor already down but u get it from the light tab at the top select floor than move it up and down until its in a place that you like and then load a mat that has reflection as one of the options that they made it with if this is confusing just pm me and ill make u a quick video
On C4D you will have another set of "File Edit Function Texture" at the bottom under the screen where it shows you all of your objects and stuff in the perspective view Go to file and New material On the right will be your texture properties If you want to add a color, click the color tab and choose a colour If you want to add a reflection to a material: Go to the basic tab, check reflection, and then go to the reflection tab to mess around with the properties Then at the bottom drag and drop the material onto the text or object you want to change the texture of.
SomeSaySTiCk - that would be awesome of the video Aedus - For the reflection. You mean on the right side of the small box in the down corner right? I only see basic but i don't see a box where i have to check for reflection
dobble click on the material then some venster pops out just select reflection and make it like (brightnes) 15% just play arround till you like it you should get something like this when clicking the material
^ Awesome! How do you guys set a bg color? Like either black or other colors? or setting a background with a text there in the floor and with reflection? Sorry for asking so many question
like for the bg besides the floor go to the place where you select floor and select sky and add a black mat to it
