C4D Abstract Spheres - Cinema 4D Tutorial (Free Project)

[@jacquelyn4374]

I am a complete beginner to C4D and I followed every step perfectly thanks to your clear direction! Well done

[@CGShortcuts]

[@ardacem]

i wish we can see lighting, texturing and rendering part.

[@CGShortcuts]

Thanks Arda, I try to keep all the tutorials under 10 minutes so there isnt really time to show all the lighting and texturing. I hope to do some tutorials about that soon though, I'm a freelance artist so getting time to make these is tricky, thanks for watching though I appreciate your support!

[@badcapybara]

At least one tutorial dedicated to lighting and texturing would be awesome, we can allow 40 mins with that one haha

[@harshinikarunaratne3928]

I really like that you're very clear, methodical and that you ask questions. 'Now that I have x, how do I get y?' That's a really helpful way for me to start thinking as I begin to learn C4D so thank you! ^_^

[@CGShortcuts]

Great to hear, thanks Harshini! If you want to dive deeper into C4D we also have some courses you can try with the same style;) www.cgshortcuts.courses. Thanks for watching!!😀

[@lauran7130]

Hi there do you know how to get this animation from C4D to UNREAL? Thankful for any help

[@sagarpradeep1989]

nice

[@oOOo-mf3oe]

how did you get multiple textures on the spheres? Did you add different emitters with different textures or is there a way to set multiple textures with some type of randomization on one emitter?

[@CGShortcuts]

There's more info on that in this tutorial mate kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzPf6yHlrJjhbs

[@michaeljensen4844]

Thanks! Do you happen to know offhand how to repel--sort of like attract, except the reverse? For example, you have a sheet of blobs, and you want to pass a separate blob through the sheet of blobs, which pushes the blobs which come in direct contact with the main blob aside just long enough to allow the main blob to pass, only to return to their original position? Any help would be very appreciated! Mike

[@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!

Hey thanks for the tutorials, just one question, spheres doesnt change the size after i added Ramdom and -0.5, tries several times ...i dont know why..

[@CGShortcuts]

Hi mate, hard to say without seeing your file, you could post it to our Facebook group or message me on Facebook and I can have a look for you if you like

[@improbablefilms]

Great tutorial... How can i make a loop of the spheres moving around?, that´s possible?... Thanks

[@CGShortcuts]

[@TutsKK]

amazing!! thanks a lot mate. PD: i make a sticker with a funny face u did hehe cheers!!

haha thanks, I really need to update those into videos with a less funny face;)

How a can put the color in each one? thanx for teaching

[@CGShortcuts]

Hi mate, you might want to have a look at some texturing and shading tutorials in Cinema 4D on KZbin. Greyscale Gorilla does some great ones! I hope to do some soon. Thanks for watching!

[@luke-xz5pq]

How would i make these into softbodies. I put it inside a cube as a collider but when i make the spheres into softbodies they just stay in one place rather than moving out like the rigid bodies.

[@CGShortcuts]

try this setup kzbin.info/www/bejne/o32bhJqaiJWejqs

What does mograph cache do? what can it be used for, I don't understand, who can explain? thanks

Did you try taking a look at the project file?

[@TerryKuo77764]

i want to ask how to random material and texture thx (i am a beginner XD

[@CGShortcuts]

Hey Terry, I go through that setup in this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzPf6yHlrJjhbs hope that helps! I did it in Octane render though - I do a more in depth look at something similar in our full online class you can have a look at here if you like skl.sh/2ONN6GY (it's free with a trial of skillshare) it shows multishader creation with the standard cinema 4d renderer along with a bunch of other tips.

[@akhil0227]

I guess you need to explain about the materials. What you show is how to create things. Beginners might not be able to fill up materials or set the lights etc correctly...if you explain that this tutorials will complete.

[@CGShortcuts]

Hi mate, I try to keep all the tutorials under 10 minutes so there isnt really time to show all the lighting and texturing (especially as I try to make one per week while working;). I hope to do some long form courses on lighting and texturing (I have one coming out soon) as learning that stuff can be a bit more in depth (I use Octane too which a lot of people dont have). I'm a freelance artist so getting time to make these is tricky, but I encourage everyone to try and render it with their own style so everything doesnt look exactly like my stuff too;) If you do want to see the exact render setup I put all my final render ready files up onto Patreon for my patrons (which keeps my site running) thanks for watching though I appreciate your support!

[@danielyeh1627]

how to add different textures ? they r all the same

[@danielyeh1627]

oh i figured it out !! just copy spheres

[@CGShortcuts]

Exactly mate, just keep duplicating the object in the cloner (you can use any object you want too, it doesnt have to be spheres) and changing each shader so you have a nice variety in there. Would love to see what you come up with, please feel free to share your work or any questions you might have in our little facebook community facebook.com/groups/CGShortcuts Thanks for watching!
