    Ok ive seen these tags about alot before andlooking at one of the recent tags in the sig section i want to learn how to do it myself.


    I want to be able to make nice c4ds, i know (kinda) how to do effects etc but i want to do the sort of stuff falcon punch does and your c4d spline line thing renders daecu like you large piece entry.

    If anyone can direct me to a good place to look or has tuts that helped them or whatever please let me know i really want to get into this programme and start pumping out some awesome renders for you guys to use and for packs

    DA has good tuts, I was taught personally by REclusion, former c4d maker extreme at GR

    I would like to know how to make the c4d's like falcon punch's... I may do some experimenting and let you know afterwards ;)


    2 tips:

    1) use the perspective tool (zoom perspective wayyyy out, then zoom normally in)
    2) use colored lights to do your coloring, use soft-shadow maps

    Took your advice on the lighting and soft map shadows, its basically 3 copies one centered and 1 on each side set to lighten to clean up the sides a bit..


    alot of boxes stacked on topa each other with perspective lighting, glass mat and spotlights and area lights of diff colours.

    I just discovered i didnt actually save the C4d File, just the image.

    Its basically 7 hollow boxes with the edges extruded stacked on top of each other and a few spotlights beaming from top down, an area light at the bottom of the c4d and all lights coloured. with the camera looking top down with a little perspective view on it, and a glass material on it.

    It's not as good as it's cracked up to be. People don't respect you, bitches don't want you, and it's so hard to find pants that fit.

    Or perhaps the last one has nothing to do with being a god, and I'm just naturally endowed like an elephant.
