#C4DQuickTip

[@RafAlam-l4q]

This is GOLD! Many thanks!

Ring select polys between beveled edges, select outline, break phong shading - done quicker and no need to add extra vertices.

[@MacToecutter]

Thats what I thought too.

[@jakejakejakejakejakejake]

Glorious! Thank you for this! X

[@zeven777]

Awesome QuickTip! thks!!

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

Fab - thanks for sharing!

for hard surfaces w bevels, I simply set my phong angles on the phong tag (20 degrees or below usually works fine) The extra step of beveling first w solid, and the additional polys/edges seems extra. And if you're going to substance painter, exporting as OBJ vs FBX will retain the phong angles set from the tag.

[@MaxonTrainingTeam]

Depends on how close you get to the bevel. You will see the facets of the bevel, if you just bring down the phong angle.

[@akramfex]

Cool, but why no vertex normal tool yet? 😕, and also remember that gui thing that pops when you use the loop cut tool, can we have something like that for other tools such as the bevel tool inset and others, if not maybe add bevel segments by pressing alt and moving the mouse right/left to add segments, you know, to save some time !!

[@JcmotionDesign]

hello to you, do you know if we have the possibility of creating open bevels on c4d? I didn't find a solution. Thank you so much christopher

[@desttaniss9949]

Proper Vertex Normal tools will solve the problem. And many other problems too...

[@optimus6858]

i didin't get it why did u switch back to chamfer at the end?

[@texturastylist]

really helpful, thx

[@betraydan_]

What would the result be if i used a bevel deformer as a child of the editable object, would it also cause a shading issue as in the first example?

[@neoqueto]

No difference.

[@jenskruger975]

Is there a difference in the result if I use the Bevel Tool or the Bevel Deformer? I like to have the editable

[@MaxonTrainingTeam]

No, you can also use two bevel deformers instead.

[@Ignash]

Really cool, I wish there would be a third bevel mode that does these actions without doing them manually. would be perfect to have this on bevel deformer as well.

[@simontrickfilmer]

But, its on the deformer?

[@AB-mv1mb]

just enable Phong break rounding checkbox if you have straight surface in between just like the tutorial one and you are good to go

[@mohydra]

You could solve this with an option to add one extra line cut on each side of the bevel. This problem still persists when we use Bevel deformer

[@MaxonTrainingTeam]

You can use two bevel deformers. First one solid, second one round.

[@vladan.Poison]

indeed its a GOOD BEVEL but cant be tweaked ... maxon did awesome steps towards making these using parametric setups. why are u still using the method from R19 ?

[@peterschermers]

This is great, Jonas! Thank you for sharing! I was wondering though: why does this shading artefact also happen when you give a Cube Primitive its Fillet? I know you can change the Phong Tag, but then my Fillet looks bad ;-) Many thanks in advance!

[@MaxonTrainingTeam]

It's because of the phong tag. The phong tag tries to visually round geo, also the sides of the cube primitive. You need that extra cut on the planar part of the surface to make it look good.

[@peterschermers]

@@MaxonTrainingTeam But if I remember correctly this artefact was not happening with Cube primitives in the earlier versions of C4D. Looks like a new “feature” 😉 Or has it always been like this?

[@pxq88888888]

In version 2.1 this stopped working....

[@Vannellus]

And why the bevel tool doesn't support the additional subdivision in one go? Why I have to bevel twice? Oh cinema, oh cinema... It's always like the C4D coding team just don't understand how to speed up the workflow...

Keep your money, use blender.
