I'm a motion designer for 15 years now and I'm still learning new stuff. Thanks again Dave!

[@CGShortcuts]

Was fun researching this one, I learnt a load of new things too!

[@TravisDavids]

Super handy tips, thank you so much! Had no idea you could drag the hud controls onto the viewport. Definitely a time saver.

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers Travis! I didn't know that one either till I did a bit of digging for the video;)

[@Gromic2k]

I don't believe you. It happens every now and then by accident.

[@jonjones4972]

I've been using c4d daily for the past 5 years and I've learned some interesting things here today, brother. Thanks for sharing.

[@CGShortcuts]

Great to hear! Plenty more c4d secrets left to be revealed;)

Bro I was literally trying to find how to do noise animation for my current project. But I didn't know what I must search. I got your video in my feed randomly. Got what I was looking for days! Thank you.

Boy, you deserve more than 103K subscribers! Subbed immediately. I like your clear style. I was hoping to uncover why all my objects keep coming in so small. I don't want them one inch big! I'm sure there was some way to alter all that that in preferences. Now I will look at your other videos.

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers Molly, great to have you on board! If you're importing models (from fbx or obj) you can change the scale on import so they dont come in so small;)

[@siddhesh_umbarkar24]

Nice! Thanks Dave 👍

[@yusta5461]

thank you !!!

[@prcgstyle4400]

Thanks👍

[@ninopiamonte2]

I was missing the heads up display all this time bc I didn't know they can be used for switches >:( thanks for this video :)

[@CGShortcuts]

No problem nino, I only found that put recently too;)

[@rubenscheer]

Thank you very much. I see you are still in R21? They removed the virual walkthrough in R23. I posted this already a month ago on reddit.. Personaly I think this is ashame, they removed it. It was a very good tool and people still want to make use of it. I do :) Anyways, thanks for these tips!

[@jamelechorfi]

Thank you a lot for the tips ! Also the intro track is sick ! Do you mind sharing it please ? Have a great day !

[@CGShortcuts]

Hey morph, we've used that track since day 1 - its in the KZbin Library, I think its called Opening Night;)

[@jamelechorfi]

@@CGShortcuts Thank you a lot sir !

[@Dannycatflash]

Thanks so much, Dave. This is sooo involving!!!

[@jankai7227]

very usefull! thanks!

[@jenskruger975]

very cool. I knew some of these things but f.e. the replacement was totally new :O (... and chess ;) )

[@CGShortcuts]

Good to hear Jens! C4D is full of handy little things like these;)

[@bobbyraindance]

Great tips. Thanks you.

[@CGShortcuts]

No worries Rob!

Thanks for all your beautiful videos

[@jayboyd]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@prymexxxx]

Very cool, learned a lot!

[@sicfxmusic]

Thanks Dave for putting my C4D experience to shame 😅

[@CGShortcuts]

Haha no worries

[@serch54]

Hah! I literally just finished a bunch of drafts for a chess client. Squabbling with free chess models and making a board, etc... Little did I know, Dave had the hax!

[@CGShortcuts]

The Chess feature is definitely hidden away pretty well, Im surprised Maxon removed the Virtual Walkthough but left Chess in there!

[@bluetonesblue]

@@CGShortcuts I think someone should make a plugin for this!!

[@asadujjamannur2738]

It was an amazing video.

[@JuanCarlosVargasdesign]

Thank you! much of these tips did not know! Although I knew about hud control but I would like to know how to develop that menu with Xpresso ..! which is also very useful and practical ... is it very difficult to do? ... thank you again!

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers Juan, we should definitely do more stuff on Xpresso!

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I love to start knowing things I didn't know.

[@antoniopepe]

No... the onlyone i didnt know has been removed what a shame. nice video anyway

[@CGShortcuts]

Cheers Antonio!

[@watsonstudios]

How do you flip an object (using the scale -1 method) without reversing the normals? When I try to flip and object with a texture map, it also flips the normals inside out and then the texture map disappears.

[@CGShortcuts]

Great question! As it's a bit hard to give you a good answer here in the comments, any chance you could post your question on our Facebook Group and one of our community members can give you a hand;) If you could post some screenshots of your issue too that would be super helpful!

Please start a series on how to make background environment used in Most Anime. I know that are made in 3d most use parallax effect but i need tutorials of 3d anime environment please if you can?

[@CGShortcuts]

Thanks for the suggestion! We will definitely look into this. Stay tuned for more and thanks for watching! 👍

[@onism8906]

is there a way to get the puppet without that version ??

[@Dawood.k]

Very sad for virtual walk that is not in s24 please if Anyone know the alternate let ne know

[@jellykid]

thinking the same thing! I think it might have been moved/ renamed no idea what to though

[@Dawood.k]

@@jellykid yeh maybe

[@wonkaytry]

Maxon decides to take out a reasonable good feature for architecture, but hey! here's a useless chess game...........

[@windeo]

There is a little bit confusion with feet. What if I what to convert for instance 10ft and 12in what do I enter? 10,12ft?

[@CGShortcuts]

There's 12 inches in a foot, so you'd just type 11ft;)

[@windeo]

@@CGShortcuts seriously, i faced a problem with archviz project. Can’t get how to sum values, they don’t match. I suppose its a rounding issue

[@windeo]

@Jim Scott thanks will try

[@EZZYLAND]

what does "render perfect" do?

[@mikembley]

From the C4D user guide: "If you enable this option, a perfect sphere is generated by the math (if the sphere was not already distorted or deformed). This type of sphere has the advantage that it looks truly round and smooth. In addition, it renders faster than a polygon sphere." In other words, when you render, it will ignore the polygonal geometry of the sphere in the viewport, to render a mathematically accurate sphere.

[@CGShortcuts]

Exactly

[@javiergbianchi]

my asset browser is... has a bug... ... can someone upload the male a female rigged characters? would help me a lot

[@rekozurealm3559]

Hello I'm a beginner. Can anyone solve this problem? When bending the cylinder 360° and rotating the cylinder object on the Coord tab, Column R. H But why, when I add displacement and noise texture the animation in the corner cylinder is slower than the one in the middle.

[@abdulrahmanpatterson8655]

Virtualwalkthrough was removed from s24 ...does anyone know anything about that?

[@CGShortcuts]

I asked maxon and all they could tell me is that they decided to remove it, happened with r23 I think

[@abdulrahmanpatterson8655]

@@CGShortcuts ah sucks was so useful as a camera keyframing base

[@ArgoBeats]

[@PratikRathodAnimation]

5 people who disliked are using blender

[@BoldBreak]

Why the hell would they get rid of the virtual walk through ?

[@CGShortcuts]

I know! I asked them but they couldn't give me an answer. I guess because it was a little known tool and they thought no-one would notice;)

[@BoldBreak]

@@CGShortcuts Underused doesn't always mean it's not useful. Sometimes if a feature is overlooked it can be good to ask users if this is something worth keeping. Maxon can reach out over social media. Twitter polls etc. #bringvirtualwalkthroughback 😂

[@CGShortcuts]

@@BoldBreak I agree

[@arnaudsimon3265]

The chess feature proves C4D is superior to Blender
