Avoiding Deformation On Curved Surfaces in Cinema4D

[@mfrancisco_850]

Taking your course has made me a god Master amongst models

[@ianmcglasham]

You can also use a laplacian operation to have maya push cotangent vertices to better positions without such a dense geometry. Tricky to work with and you might have to write a bit of code but can work if you feel like getting really advanced! I only vaguely know how to do it but I have seen it done with success! Come over to blender! The community really needs proper modellers like you!!!

Hello everyone! This was a community question and just wanted to share my approach to​ this problem. Hope you find it useful. Cheers!

[@yougortaouarab5485]

thank you sir, Your work is awesome !!!

[@studioag835]

thanks for showing the light, people can really get stuck for life on these type of things. really grateful you are sharing your brilliant problem solving brain to help civilization go forward.

[@Elementza]

To answer questions about deformers like bend etc. Yes, you could. If deformers don't cause stretching (cause most do), and if the GO is not part of linear workflow, but standalone object. Otherwise, you're stuck with this problem.

[@MarkFancherFX]

Thanks so much for your tutorials - they are really helping a lot!

[@muhannadgokhashaw9580]

I don't know if it's applicable to cinema 4D but in maya or 3ds max you could model your details on a flat plane > add the support loops to hold the hard edges > subdivide (smooth) > use the bend tool/modifier, this will give you a nice curved mesh without pinching.

Thank you!

[@pierre.colourist]

Thanks for this man,had problems before.

[@MXRVE1]

Very good lesson, thanks man...

[@NitishShiggaon]

Do you have a course which explains Sub D modeling like this in more detail? Where can I purchase it?

[@Elementza]

Yes, please check the description:)

[@sevenseven31]

you have a nice technique about edges flow but you can fix this situation by using conforme

[@ELECTR0HERMIT]

So, it looks like in the end, it's not possible to get 100 percent of the pinch out?

[@worthapost]

Great tutorial thanks. You promised us a month back to show us a zbrush and c4d workflow that you found. Still waiting for that....

[@Elementza]

Currently delayed. But workflow is no different than any other. Blocking in ZBrush till panel transitions and without adding to much detail, zremesh/decimate the sculpt, and using GoZ script to transfer it into C4D for retopology. That´s it.

this is very helpful, Thanks!!

[@PowerOfMilk]

Thanks for the help!

[@MrElectroPunker]

Awesome.Thanks for the tip.We can learn everyday something :)

[@CGSTACKS]

Thanks man,I'm looking solution for this problem for very long time.you saved my ass.😊👌

[@soyv4113]

Спасибо за ваш видео урок ,очень познавательно

[@ameerziadi4253]

thank you

[@alenlenia]

something is weird about my Beveling ! at the @time10:30 of this video , when you Bevel, it simply makes straight corners, But when i do, it gives me different rounded corners with no straight contact like yours :/

[@Elementza]

You need to be sure that under Topology - Mitering is set to Uniform

[@fuchigirl6810]

thank you sir

[@AndresBMX03]

Hi, how u change the subdivition whit the keyboard instantly? Very gd tut. Thks

[@Elementza]

Andres P Hotkey for that is Q

[@AndresBMX03]

Elementza guess i wasn't sure at all what i heard thks

[@drewnix7201]

Nice tutorial

[@farisofthemall]

so fkn helpful damn

[@aleksandr1277]

You have to remove Cinema 4D and go to school to learn geometry, Dodik! ;)
