Alternative Shapes in Cinema 4D - Changing the mesh structure procedurally

[@乘风-g5k]

A very helpful tutorial, waiting for your Arnold & X- Particles tutorial.

[@jhalanddesign]

Yes, I have two simple x-particles and Arnold tuts. I don't use x-particles that much in my daily work, so that's why it's not highly saturated in my KZbin feed. But if I discover something interesting with XP that can be helpful to other users I will share that :)

Jørgen Håland Your tutorial is easy to understand. It is very helpful. Waiting for your Arnold tutorial . Thanks for your sharing.

intressting testing and research. Love things like this, makes you feel like a scientist :D

[@jhalanddesign]

haha, yes absolutely! it's just finding some new function that changes the mesh, and you have a totally new result. I know Merk is coming soon with a tool that does this for you, so more possibilities are soon here:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oobId2eDmbWthas

this is amazing, great job

[@jhalanddesign]

Evan Worsham thanks! There will be more :)

[@bao007fei]

Interesting technique, thank you for sharing:D

[@jhalanddesign]

Phil Bao no problem. This can be used for lots of cool shapes.

[@mrGr88n]

thank U very much!

[@MotionPunk]

Awesome techniques thank u!

[@jhalanddesign]

yes, there's a lot of possibilities, much more than I covered

[@MotionPunk]

Do more tutorials on this :) we love it!

hey! amazing tips Jorgen. How do you make lines volumetric? 8:05

[@jhalanddesign]

Hi! Yes, you can expand stroke from mesh edge. Select the edge, and go to Mesh/Commands/Edge to spline. Use Sweep Nurb with a n-Side and your good to go :) And thanks for asking!

[@Shev4uk]

Great! That's amazing! I also got some interesting results by placing our object with the modified mesh as a source for voronoi fracture i.gyazo.com/5f62b602d3b8d2eaabf289d42a488291.png Works for volumetric objects and it's procedural

[@jhalanddesign]

O nice! Yes, that's worth testing more. Keep on exploring!

[@Shev4uk]

Jørgen Håland 100% right! Thank you :)

[@EquestrianSport]

super cool thanks !

[@gbiny7291]

Wow Thanks!

[@jhalanddesign]

thanks!

If achieve the mesh making, how to render it out ??

[@jhalanddesign]

hehe, that's up to you and your preferred choice of solution. The cover is made with a gold material with an HDRi, and by bending the plane you see more of the reflection from the HDRi sky. The examples at the end of the video is a typical studio setup with one key light that create shape and highlight, in this case from down left. And one fill from the right that fills the shape so nothing goes into total black in the shadows. The pattern has a material that are really glossy, so a little bit of roughness and a the back plain has a diffuse material with a lot of roughness. I like using Arnold but you can make this with whatever renderer today. Good luck!
