Create 3D Platonic objects in Cinema 4d using this tutorial.

There are, of course, hundreds of different ways of creating 3D abstract models, with varying degrees of complexity. Simple techniques usually involve usage of the 'matrix exclude' function, although the results can all look very similar to each other. So, what can be done when you want to create something rather unique, yet not spend forever playing around with Cinema4D's settings?

Why waste hours of time trying to get particles to accumulate and blend on collision surfaces and in the end failing to look correct. Use this simple technique in order to achieve seasonal changes as well as surface wetness.

This tutorial will show you how to build and test a particle emitter in C4D. Particles are used often by designers for effects like sparks, many similar objects, fireworks, and more!

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model your very own soft drink can. You can use your own custom label on it, or the one we provide

This tutorial will teach you how to make a Glass in Cinema 4D. Users will learn the basics of modeling with points, as well as creating a realistic Glass material.

A simple way to get a transparent background on your Cinema 4D renders.

Learn how to create some basic materials in cinema4d

Create a liquid metal effect using Metaballs.

This Basics tutorial is to explain how to build faces and the three uses of the bridge tool that make it very very useful4992 Creating faces using the CREATE POLYGON tool is accurate and used most often but can be slow at times, the BRIDGE tool allows you to fill in faces very quickly, you can also bridge gaps between two parts or cut a clean hole through an object..Read on!

This tutorial explains how to simply UV a basic box crate, and paint it up to look like old worn wood etc using the Paintbrush tool, a little Dodge and Burn and Layers.

I havent built loads of heads so I'm no expert :) and this is not the only way to do stuff its just the way I did it this time ;-). Its meant as a guide to give you some ideas on how to get that first head modelled. Its not fully finished yet and this part only deals with the bulding of the face, the top/back of the head, neck and ears etc will be added as I write them, look out for news on my main page!!

This tutorial explains how to create a large sky-plane, create a sky-like material using the bhodinut 2d noise shaders and explains how to create your own variations etc. I was going through the "nebula" tutorial on the maxon site and I noticed that similar techniques could be used to create normal clouds, so I simplified it all a bit and decided to write a tutorial on it, hope you find it useful!!

I was wondering how to make an animated camp fire the other day, so I had a play around and figured it out and I saved off pics as I went along and wrote this, I hope you find it useful! The image above shows the kinda thing you can create and animate quite easily in Cinema 4D!

This tutorial explains how to create some STATIC tank tracks for any tank/tracked model!! A Quick explanation is we create a SPLINE in the shape of the tracks from the side, and 1 Track section, then DUPLICATE the section 30-50 times and ARRANGE it along the SPLINE.
