How to set up Cinema 4D R19

[@kickit246]

This video is invaluable and I always come back when I get a new version to make sure I don't miss anything. Thanks!

[@alfredmb]

I've been using C4D couple of years, I've never been go through this settings in-depth !! This is really super in-depth & helpful & the way you explain all ! Take a bow ! Love you man !!!

[@alexfx7768]

Really nice to see you back

[@impablomations]

1st time I've come across your channel. Learned a couple of useful things. Subscribed :)

[@Poluxthefifth1]

Loved it. I´m new to C4D and I´m a big fan of customizing my tools. Subscribed and liked. Big Hug from San Gil, Colombia.

Thank you. The bit that interested me is at 21.39 Project scale. But my problem now is that File New now always brings in the scale project at 0.01. And I can't change it back to 1. Or I can but File New always starts with 0.01 again. Changing it to 1 and saving makes no difference. But thanks for your video. Subbed.

Loved your video. Very helpful, however, how do you get the grid lines back (World ) grid lines? Thanks.

[@simontrickfilmer]

- Null Object needs a Button in the Interface - Preferences > files > Auto-Save ON! Saved my live a lot! - and you can do floating palettes, whitch is also usefull

[@JoaoMarcoCc]

Great video. Keep up your camera rolling.

[@Feezwa]

The video is well thought, put and made ! Nicely done !

To start I'm mainly wondering how much hard drive space Cinema 4D takes up. It doesn't say on the website and I'm almost out of space. Does it run on the cloud or is it something you need to download and install?

[@nofaith2544]

Excellent! Would love to know how to make a particular tab be the active one when the startup opens. For instance I have a section with RENDER SETTINGS OCTANE SETTINGS and TIMELINE. I would love to have TIMELINE be the active tab on startup but it always comes up OCTANE SETTINGS. Don't know the answer but it is not simply activating and saving it as the NEW document or template.

[@3DFluff]

The template/new files only save the content of a project, not the interface layout. Try Window > Customization > Save as startup layout

🤩 Очень крутая инфа! СПАСИБО!

[@CraftyFoxe]

Very helpful video :D

[@hsan.1951]

I have moved from Maya to C4d and I'm quite happy. Except the viewport in C4d quickly gets very heavy with just a few objects in the scene or firing Octane. Do I have to do something to sort this problem out or I just have to switch off whatever that not am not working on ? or maybe assign more Ram somehow which I'm not sure how. Any tips would be very appreciated.

[@3DFluff]

One important thing to keep in mind with C4D's editor speed is that it doesn't matter a great deal how many polygons you have, the main cause of slow speed in C4D is a large number of things. A mograph cloner with a 100x100x100 grid is 1 million objects. If those all have phong tags, materials and uvw tags, that's 3 million more things. If those objects are animated with 20 keyframes then that duplicates out to 20 million more things for c4d to keep track of. It adds up quickly. Where possible, flatten down objects to few objects, merge things together, strip off tags that don't make much difference etc. Switch instance objects to render instances, that helps a lot.

Amazing tutorial. Thank you

OH THERE U ARE AGAIN.GRATITUDE

[@nocturnalcoffee_3731]

this video helping me so much thank you!

[@Poluxthefifth1]

By the way. I believe the Falloff FIELD option is only available in C4D 20? I haven´t found it on R19

[@3DFluff]

R19 and before have many falloffs for lights, mograph, deformers etc. R20 introduced the field system and added them to several more areas such as vertex maps.

PLEASE I HAVE A ISSUE WITH MY CINEMA 4D R19 SOFTWARE, THE WORKING SPACE BACKGROUND IS BLANK AND I CAN'T SEE WHATEVER I'M DOING. PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP.

[@3DFluff]

Try holding shift whilst c4d loads. This will disable your graphics card and revert to cpu shading.

How Do You Download IT?

[@kevinhouse7143]

Great stuff 3DFluff, just sub'd. Is there any way to enlarge the UI fonts? These old eyes ain't what they used to be...

[@3DFluff]

Hey there, the font is already bumped up from the original C4D size but I'll look at notching it up another bit. You won't see it for a little while though as I've already got a few videos recorded.

[@kevinhouse7143]

Sorry I didn't mean for your videos. Rereading my comment I can see why you might think that. I meant for the Cinema UI preferences in the application. :-) Similar to making the icons bigger in the object browser, is there a way to enlarge the applications UI's font size. Cheers!

[@3DFluff]

Ahh yes, edit > preferences > Interface > GUI Font. I use Segoe bold 13 for the videos.

[@rankovsrdjan]

Hi! Where is "user script / save as template" in r20 ? Thanks

[@3DFluff]

window / customisation /save as default scene

[@rankovsrdjan]

Thanks man, you are the best for c4d :)

[@Gameboy-2000]

Hey Bro! I'm New To C4D. I have some Issues with Preference. When I Click the Preferences In Edit. It Stucks, Cinema 4D R19 is Not Responding. How to Fix this Problem?

[@3DFluff]

My only guess is your preferences maybe have some network paths in there for texture paths and maybe c4d is waiting to check if the path is working. I would hit preferences and just leave it 2 minutes to see if it times out.

[@Gameboy-2000]

@@3DFluff Bro! When I Click Preference It Takes Some Time And It Shows a Dialogue Box - Application Error.😓

[@3DFluff]

Model a bottle of lube, because you're fucked :D

[@Gameboy-2000]

Yeah! Problem Solved. It was an Issue of Intel Graphics Driver. I Have Dedicated Graphic Card I Focused on That. I Never Thought It Uses Also Intel Graphics. Now I Updated.

[@FlavioDiniz]

I'm a c4d interface customizer maniac xD I already do a lot of thing you said, but not the project scale, that's very useful. is the save as template the same thing as making a file called new.c4d and putting inside the C4D folder ? there's some other things I like to do: • show project polycount info, how much points, edges, polys is selected, etc. • enable mesh checking, useful when modeling • changing the default parameters of some objects, like, a new cylinder will be always 16 sides, every new material created will arrive with GGX and dialectic reflection, etc. anyway, nice video and here's my customized C4D window! i.imgur.com/DBOg6iT.png

[@3DFluff]

Hey there Flavio, The "save as template" command actually varies slightly depending on the c4d version. R18 and above it acts as saving the new.c4d file in the c4d folder. R17 and below it saves a template.c4d file. This is similar but the new.c4d version is superior. Re: show poly count. Careful with this. Constantly calculating the selected polygons causes quite a performance hit. eg if I make a 15 million poly object and select some polygons, this takes the editor performance down from 13fps to 7fps. Same goes for mesh check, this one is dramatic. On a 100,000 poly mesh, this takes the performance down from 300fps to 30fps. Nice idea with the material! I never really considered setting up a default material. I might actually do this to banish away the default specular.

i need help please :( my mouseisnt working in c5d how do i solve it

Explain how it isn't working. Can you click? drag things? no mouse pointer?
