Cinema 4D Quicktip - Sculpt Like Z-Brush

[@amarnstudios]

bro, i love you, i literally sat down a week ago to slow down and start sculpting in cinema or z brush or whatever…

[@NewPlastic]

If you're already on C4D then def give it a try, you can do a lot with it considering it's not really a sculpting specific software like Z-Brush.

[@chasingbonee5734]

Would love to see a video of your Zbrush to Cinema 4D process (especially retopology). Your teaching style is so snappy. Hope to see more from you!

[@NewPlastic]

I have only used Z-Brush a while ago, I love it but I'm just not a sculptor so I can't justify buying Z-brush when most of what I need I can sculpt in C4D. But, I love z-brush, and I wish to go back to it at some point. Once I do, expect tutorials! haha

[@alice-3d]

this is a great alternative to subdividing a billion times, thanks so much!

[@NewPlastic]

Absolutely!

[@departed9282]

Damn didn't know that worked so well, splendid stuff mate.

[@NewPlastic]

Yeah dude I can't believe I wasn't aware of it until now!

[@codyrubino5715]

[@catherinearellano9521]

Omg thank you! I began to sculpt in Conrma4D but got more of clearer picture. Thank you once again! Yess

[@loudecho]

[@NewPlastic]

Happy to help!

[@MrOmarniaz]

Good Work Mate

[@NewPlastic]

Missed you Omar! Hope you're well

[@generativen]

you are a C4D master.

[@NewPlastic]

Lol more like a C4D slave

[@generativen]

@@NewPlastic that’s me

[@ignaciosagrario]

And we also have ZRemesher inside C4D now to make this workflow even better.

[@nairow220]

Thanks for your awesome contents !

[@chillbro2275]

I just visited zbrush webpage for the first time in a while, and see that they were acquired by maxon. is the Sculpting C4D essentially the same as ZBrush?

[@NewPlastic]

Not at all. Maxon wants you to use Zbrush now, so they'll never make the C4D sculpting tools better.

[@chillbro2275]

​@@NewPlastic Thanks. I never knew C4D had sculpting. ZBrush has enabled some very realistic human (and other biological subject) models. Since C4D seems to have a slant (or maybe its just enormous success) in motion graphics, is its sculptor more geared toward producing models for motion graphics than say for human models?

[@NewPlastic]

@@chillbro2275 C4D's sculpting tools are very basic and really meant for subtle sculpting, I use it to make simple stuff like rocks or stuff like that. I also use them to fix up models I'm texturing, if it's a simple fix and I don't want to go all the way back to Zbrush and re-export everything. I guess you can make a lot of stuff with the cinema scultping tools but you definitely won't have the level of finesse and efficiency Zbrush has especially for stuff like micro-details.

[@chillbro2275]

@@NewPlastic Superb insight! Thank you.

[@artkiko4460]

that was most excellent.

[@NewPlastic]

[@IsuruRandika]

Love your channel

[@NewPlastic]

Thank you!

[@do1609]

what can we use instead of remesher? im not sure of the technique to take it from the volume mesher mesh, to a straighter mesh, and applying nodes eventually mess with it.

[@NewPlastic]

If you want to turn the Volume object into a mesh just right click on it and choose Set current state to object or Connect objects. If you don't have Remesher you can just use the Polygon reduction object

[@do1609]

ah okay, thats what i was thinking since i had been using that and was just wondering if the mesh would eventually mess with stuff from your procedural rocks tutorial was all. thank you :)

[@timaging]

Looks like they may have either ditched volume mesh or it's moved somewhere and I can't find it

[@NewPlastic]

They haven't ditched it, it's there. You can always press Shift + C and look up whatever it is you're looking for and it'll find the command for it immediately

[@talhazulqarnain2126]

Hey man can you help me install octane render I just bought the subscription but I am having troubles installing on my cinema 4d r23

[@NewPlastic]

Hey! All you need to do is go to C4D, go to Preferences, at the bottom you have a button to go to you preferences folder, and it'll open your preferences folder. Then go to Plug-in folder and paste in the Octane folder you downloaded. Then inside the Octane folder, you'll see a bunch of files with names of different C4D versions, delete all the ones that are not s24. Then restart C4D and you should be good!

[@8thballondor]

This is awesome. Would be a game changer for me if c4d had zbrushes knife curve tool

[@NewPlastic]

Yes c4d is far from zbrush in that sense. But Maxon just bought Forger which is a sculpting program for the iPad. I'll have to check it out but it has to be lightyears ahead of c4d's native sculpting tools

[@chillbro2275]

@@NewPlastic I guess this answers my question :D thanks.

[@NewPlastic]

@@chillbro2275 Haha wow funny to read my comment, I was eyeing Forger, not realizing Zbrush was the giant waiting for me around corner (now that I'm learning Zbrush on my new videos) But yeah, I'll reply to your other comment too

[@DeanRipper]

a god among men

[@NewPlastic]

Lolllllll appreciate you

[@harrybrownell]

How do you access the volume mesh in R25?

[@NewPlastic]

Once I get to 25 and mess around with it, I'll let you know brother

[@yodojo3493]

Did anyone get the sculpting brush presets to show up in R25?

[@NewPlastic]

Let me know if you did, I haven't checked out r25 yet
