[@jungalist94]

Great tutorial. very helpful. i am trying to emulate the typography style you used on 'move' i was looking at how you used a spline wrap on a capsule but the very ends of my letters go to a point rather than with yours they are fatter and rounder. is this a quick fix . any help would be appreciated thanks

[@jungalist94]

figured it out...changed the mode on the spline wrap to keep length, extended the length of the capsule to fit and played with the size graph:)

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you figured it out! Thanks for watching!

[@PeterFagerberg]

Brilliant! The CEL Shader was a first for me and turned out to be really cool. I was even able to impress a client with some cool isometric illustrations. BTW, to really crank up the quality in the shadows I had to switch to Physical and up the sampling quality. Is there a way to do this while staying in Standard render? Jez - there's so much stuff in C4D I wouldn't have a chance if it weren't for tutorials like this. Thanks again!

[@eyedesyn]

Hey Peter! Glad you could impress your clients, thats what its all about! :) I'm unsure about what you mean about the shadows. If you're using Hard Shadows you should only need to worry about upping the antialiasing settings and you should have nice sharp edges!

[@PeterFagerberg]

Sorry, my bad - I was talking about AO grain. The trick to fix it was to jump into Physical render, keep Sampling Quality at LOW, but up the Ambient Occlusion Subdivision (Max) to 5 or even 6. Same speed but a lot higher quality in both edges and AO grain!

[@pedroglobulo]

Hi EJ, Thanks for this more than clear tutorial! Is there any way to manage alpha channel with sketch and toon render activated? It could be useful for doing transparent things... Merci beaucoup

[@eyedesyn]

You mean like a beer mug or something like that? There is ways to do it by loading up cel shaders in either Transparency or Alpha!

[@pedroglobulo]

Thanks for your response!! Yes, like glass effect with simple reflection on it, I'm thinking about the effect you've done on your nice game boy model! jmp.sh/Jbax57w On this one, I'm trying to have windows transparent with simple diagonal stripes on I've tried to manage with transparency and alpha channels on a simple plane model but nothing seems to work when rendering jmp.sh/QCXiWbS It is like S&T doesn't care about it! Still digging! :)

[@pedroglobulo]

Get it! Just a gradient on alpha channel, no cel texture! As simple as that! :) jmp.sh/0Lm3LHv

[@eyedesyn]

Looks awesome, Pierre! Thanks for sharing your progress! Is this for a project or do you model objects like this for fun?

[@pedroglobulo]

So many things to discover thanks to your funky tuts! For the moment I only model simple things for training, to progress and become confident for professional projects! See you in an other tutorial :)

[@neshotsharif773]

Nice video dude!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks man!

[@dmitry_vyshniak]

Amazing channel! Thank you!

Thank you! Appreciate you checking out my channel!

[@presidentorange9051]

Hi, EJ Can you please tell me on how to make this type of shading style? If your response to this...thank you very much for the help

[@eyedesyn]

Hey there! Not sure what you mean, I show you how to make this type of shading in the tutorial!

[@LookzA]

great tutorial

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@mo.ali.]

awesome that's it you can do tutorial about master material!Thanks in advance

[@aroncontreras5892]

Very nice !!!!

[@raymanceful]

Hey man, great vid, How do you get lights to cast shadows onto surfaces?

[@763l626]

Thank you so much!

[@eyedesyn]

Very welcome! :)

[@MattyBeavs]

I want my cinema 4d layout to look like yours! love the color scheme how did you do that?

[@eyedesyn]

You can download my UI Scheme here www.eyedesyn.com/product/after-effects-cc-2014-cinema-4d-dark-ui-scheme/

[@MattyBeavs]

thanks is there a PC version for this ?

[@eyedesyn]

Should work on PC!

[@Hifearless]

Thankyou!!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching, Ifan!

[@bgolden7095]

Great tutorial. One question though: in the "how to do it in CD4 lite" portion, after you add the Lumas effect, you go back and click "layer" to add the colorize effect. I'm using C4D lite and don't see that option in the context menu. Any idea how I could find it?

[@eyedesyn]

Are you using the latest version of C4D Lite? I think you might...so what happened with the latest R19 version of C4D lite is they removed the Layer shader which is super annoying...so what I suggest is using an older version of AE that still can use the R16 version of C4D Lite.

[@DavidUebergang]

Hey Ej, what are the script buttons you have in your layout? I see magic solo, drop to floor - what are the others?

[@eyedesyn]

The others are 'Axis Center To' and 'Center Parent To; shortcut keys I seem to use a lot!

[@lolindirlink]

In case someone else comes across this comment: You can click through: "window-Customize -Customization palletes. From there, you can (and should) add ANY c4d shortcut or tool very easily to your toolbar, don't forget to save your modified layout under customization-save layout as (and save as startup, so it starts up with this layout) This will create 2 new layout options to switch to under the layout tab (top right). -my favorites are: loop selection , reverse normals - psr update - etc.

[@Galomortalbr]

thansk fot the tutorial

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!

[@2blacksanta]

Hi. I am wondering about the first option why my shader shows jagged borders among the colors whereas yours looks sharp borders although I checked raytraced (Hard) and set the same infinite light like yours.

[@eyedesyn]

might be your anti-aliasing settings need upped!

[@sokoliktv9240]

hi man, can you tell your version c4d ?

[@darwinsfinches9679]

I was trying to do the lumas shader method using C4D lite and I didn't get very far. Instead of getting a shaded effect the entire object was filled with a block color that varied depending on the illumination. Any pointers?

[@eyedesyn]

not sure what the problem is you're having is but you might have set it up wrong.

[@FluxedEdge]

I'm having weird stepping on the reflections. Any rounded areas are stepping and jagged, not smooth. Could you help me out?

[@eyedesyn]

Reflections? I didn't have any reflections turned on in this tutorial, just diffuse cel shading

[@FluxedEdge]

eyedesyn sorry I meant the white highlights.

[@eyedesyn]

Go to your render settings and make sure you have antialiasing and filter set to Best

[@FluxedEdge]

Thank you! This is what worked for me.

[@Thatbaichuyensinh]

Thanks you, more more more..............

[@eyedesyn]

Thank you! You will get more more more :)

[@sethupathy143]

sir, can you please make VR tutorial ??

[@eyedesyn]

I will in the future for sure!

[@weishi7183]

Hello, I want ask you ,how can i render the low poly's hard line

[@eyedesyn]

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by the low poly's hard line?

[@linkzerotsang]

The luma approach even has better effect than the built-in Cel shader…

[@eyedesyn]

Cel Shader definitely has more options but Lumas Shader gets you most of the way there!

[@tainaragoulart8602]

Cool! Could you tell us your PC config? PLEASE!!! :)

[@eyedesyn]

For this type of effect you don't need fast computers but I'm using a new Mac Pro.

[@blinkbunk6353]

may i ask? does low poly building actually use this?, i always manage the light and material but couldnt get rid of the shading, its just looks very very flat

[@eyedesyn]

You could, you'd need to be more precise with the gradient knots as they are applied to the objects.

[@tonyprima7777]

Hi, i'm kinda new to cinema 4D and running into problems, please help. when I play a moving image in the my timeline, the image despairs, the only thing that is seen is the lines moving from the objects, please help.?.

[@eyedesyn]

Are you talking about applying a .mov file as a texture?

[@minglang8012]

Thank !

[@rodrigoaraujo2589]

Hello eyedesyn! I'm Rodrigo Araujo and I live in Brazil, u can help me with a question I have had with Cinema 4D? a project I onte animating a tape and I want each side of her stay with different colors. The detail is that it can not be an editable object because it has an animation using the Sweep. What can I do ? I am very grateful if you can help! I admire your work!

[@eyedesyn]

I would make it editable and instead of using the Sweep Object, use a Spline Wrap and you'll get a similar effect!

[@rodrigoaraujo2589]

OK! I will try, thank you very much for your help!

[@tranlong219]

what shader do you apply for your teeths ? That look white as unreal 😁

how do you do the camp fire scene

[@eyedesyn]

Modeling!

2021 !

[@rthur.]

thank you e.j for the tutorial. it has been taken me ages but i am now understand it. i wanted to ask based on cel shading.. vimeo.com/141291178/a103c61a85, i saw this scene from the movies "we are your friends" and i wanted to ask if you have an idea how it was made. Can it be applicable with the cel shading in Cinema 4D or it something different

[@eyedesyn]

Hey man, that's all traditional frame by frame cel animation it looks like. Those liquid effects would be very hard to do but creating figures and all that would be easy enough to do in C4D using Cel Shader.

[@f1a5h84ck]

But where did the bear go?!

[@eyedesyn]

RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!! AHHHHH!
