How to speed up Generating lines process (without decrease spacing steps)??? Or mayne it can be Baked? Please help

[@lokifurian]

Thanks for this! Quick question, how do you get the orange lines to animate like that? Did i miss something?

[@lexcorp1]

same here

[@jessicawidjaja8726]

under contour panel > spacing: absolute > keyframe the offset!!

You're a pretty smart guy, EJ. A pretty smart guy.

Posted some years ago but very useful still in 2023, everything works the same. Thank you very much .

[@eyedesyn]

Oh very nice to know thanks for watching!!!!

[@senchi9363]

Thank you so much man for sharing your knowledge and helping us noobs :) You are my idol in things 3D. Can you please tell us where did you find the 3D model of this guy with a laptop. Perhaps, make a tutorial how to model one or make one from a photo. And, I am begging you to make a tutorial on sparkles falling on objects and sparkle surface/material. You are the best I envy you. Love you man.

[@eyedesyn]

SO demanding! :) JK, the 3D model was made by someone else so I couldn't provide you a link for it. I wouldn't even know the first about modeling something realistic like this, I more work with cartoony characters. Thanks for watching!

[@sagenoise]

If u created a series of tutorials for Ghost in shell type design, i would buy that so FAST!!!!!!!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks man!

[@SergeBelkin]

Damn, you are the Man!! Thanks for tutorial on S&T! How did you animate the texture, so it looks like sketch and toon curves are going along the model during camera movement?

[@eyedesyn]

So because it's World XYZ space, if you move the object it will actually move through the lines. If you set the Contour view to View X/Y/Z, it will change based on the camera move. Give it a go!

[@ameet21]

Eyedesyn you are damn cinema 4D Einstein your tutorial always worth it... gr8 tutorials

[@piotrkarbowski760]

Man u are the best! I just found ur channel but seriously, love the way u create 3d stuff! Stay cool :)

BEST COMENT EVER

[@hyper2focus]

Amazing, thanks for your amazing videos

[@eyedesyn]

Thank you for watching! Much appreciated!

[@bazinjest6676]

This tutorial looks amazing... definitely going to check it out later. Any ideas on how to achieve this effect with live action footage, or must the be 3D models?

[@eyedesyn]

You could do this with TRACKED live action footage for sure. Track the persons moves, apply the motion to a model and do it that way. Doing just straight footage would be some heavy compositing work!

[@pablovfx8799]

Red Giant Trapcode Form (AE plugin) would be suitable for creating this effect with live footage I guess. ;)

[@JasonBlack66]

"Oh yes Please" I want to learn more about Sketch n Toon. just settling in to do this now, haven't watched it yet, but im excited. I also see you have a sketch n toon playlist. I am going to check that out too. But darn, I dont have a scene anything like this. I'll have to see if I can find this or similar somewhere for free.

[@eyedesyn]

plenty of free models on the internet!

[@andach9179]

For newbies your tutorials are pretty far from learning but it is enjoy watching anyway. When i watch your videos, you have already done with the most essential parts of the project like adding materials for each objects, tags and the other stuff.But if i do not know what should i add the objects before apply the methods you're telling this is just a garbage for me. I do not mean that you should make tutorials about "how to modelling an space craft in c4d" but at least you can tell us what is happening before you start the tutorial. You may make a very simple tutorial from scratch covering the Sketch and Toon. BTW its not especially for this tutorial, my comment is for all of your tutorials. But again you are the best!

[@eyedesyn]

Hey thanks for the comment! Most of my tutorials cover a specific aspect and so don't get into modeling or texturing if it's not required for the technique. For this tutorial, for example, there's no Sketch & Toon materials added at all from scratch and I show you how to create the proper materials for this type of look that I laid out in the title and description of the tutorial. So it's a double edged sword, if I cover more than is in the title, people will be mad that I didn't "get to the point" and if I don't cover everything, I get comments like this one, haha! For example, what is this tutorial missing that you would like to see? The scene starts with only untextured models, so you are asking for how to populate a scene with models?

[@andach9179]

@@eyedesynNo i as i said in my comment i dont ask you to model everything or add something to scene. I watched almost all of your videos and looked up the comments, there are several comments as like mine. I watched all the series of your sketch and toon series and they are absolutely perfect. Mine is just asking a favor and when i look from side of a newbie to c4d, it looks like "oh whats happening there, what he did and what is the materials he ve already added to the objects or compositing tags?" . Again this is just my opinion , if you can make a basic tutorial from scratch and telling whats happening there you can attract attention of the people who just started to learn c4d and want to learn your tips, if you want to attract that kind of people . Long story short; make a tutorial that is for beginners :)))) Thanks for kind answer :))

[@andach9179]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eICvdGhujbR9oLM Like that tutorial, you explained everything from scratch. Do for it Sketch and Toon :))))

[@eyedesyn]

i gotcha! totally understand and I have been trying to be more beginner friendly for sure! I believe in that tutorial I was explaining things like the user already knew about Sketch & Toon, and I believe I maybe posted some info about sketch and toon in there...but I do want to make a comprehensive sketch and toon tutorial sometime soon!

[@crvickers2188]

@@eyedesyn nah man you're good. there's plenty of beginner tutorials out there, this just can't be bothered to pause it when you mention something they haven't seen and go and look at a beginner's tutorial. your stuff is very, very good and actually ends up with an aesthetic that you could actually use in the commercial world. keep up the good work.

[@shavemymind]

eyedesyn I mean different from what I usually create, which is noobie stuff compared to this. your tutorials are great, I learn a great deal from them. Cheers man!

[@eyedesyn]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@pablovfx8799]

I love this man, so fuckin awesome :D love your tutorials!

[@gregorzimmermann2514]

Thanks for that awesome tutorial, EJ! Do you happen to know if it's possible to render all the sketch materials in a different channel? Such as using a Compositing tag that is applied to each material? Thanks again! Gregor

[@eyedesyn]

If you mean the outlines, then no. The reason is because it's a post effect and is rendered on top of everything else, so it's not in a material channel, it's a render effect.

[@gregorzimmermann2514]

That’s what I thought. So if I’d need separate layers, I’d have to render multiple times with different elements visible, right? Thank you EJ!

[@eyedesyn]

if you render out the "Post Effects" pass, the sketch and toon lines will be in that pass!

[@gregorzimmermann2514]

eyedesyn thank you EJ!

[@eyedesyn]

Very welcome!

[@yaninpc2049]

hi! i want to buy new desktop for Videos editting, TVC, 3D animation. please recomend what the computer that i should buy?

[@eyedesyn]

Hi! I would search online for best computer for certain things, so if you want Octane, I'd google "best computer for octane", etc. I dont have a PC so I couldn't tell you much! Good luck in your search!

[@sean.sullivan]

how did you get this dude sitting in the room?

[@katxolht]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, it looks great and I'm trying to do it on my own, but the lines are not showing up. Are there any fixes besides changing line color and using standard renderer? Thanks in advance!

[@syedbabarali4535]

It's amazing man .

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Babar! Glad you think so!

[@carlosnori6931]

Amazing!... gracias, gracias, gracias!!

[@artathearta]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Question: my lines aren't animating, is there anything I should look at other than the animate field?

[@lodesign5911]

As always perfect, can you please show how similar results can be obtained wit octen or redshift ? thanks

[@eyedesyn]

I dont believe this can be easily achieved in either of those renders AFAIK!

[@FrancisValadj]

amazing man, thank u

[@SupraaMotion]

Can i make the skatch and ton of a logo ? or only of a Person with this animation

[@eyedesyn]

You can use this technique for any object! Give it a try!

[@TheExtraSausage]

Wow, thank you again for great video! But here is the question: how to make that rounded dots as a contour?

[@eyedesyn]

Hey Alex! The dots are made by using the Dot pattern fairly small in the Stroke options, I covered that bit in the video!

[@olgapichugina62]

But this is not a 3d object is a sketch drawing. I would like to see the lesson from the very beginning and not from the moment when sketch has already appeared in the perspective window?

[@eyedesyn]

Not sure what you mean? The tutorial starts with no sketch effects at all and shows everything from the very beginning.

[@olgapichugina62]

Yes, but the person in the perspective window and therefore it is difficult for me to say how he appeared there and what is this object? 3d model downloaded from the site or did you do it yourself? That is the question ? Best regards, Olga ?

[@ahmedshakib3883]

One of your best tutorials.

[@chansoe101]

Hey man, Do u know if i could render turbulence fd in Team render? Or if i can render turbulence fd with Octane render so i could use my gpu n make rendering so much faster.

[@eyedesyn]

Hey! I have no idea, I've never used TFD. This would be a good question to ask David on his Octane tutorial from a few weeks ago!

[@chansoe101]

Thz ok will do

[@fe_nicks]

Hi EJ! Amazing tut, just as always! Everytime watching our videos I realise how much it is to learn still!.. Don't know if anybody asked you but is it possible to orient those lines on a character horizontaly to achive that retro synthesised look, you know? Sorta distorted data obtained from an old oscilloscope forming line portrait?.. Sorry, English is not my native language)).. Don't know how to describe correctly what I mean. Hope you got me right).. Anyways thanks for everything you do! You are of a great inspiration & motivation to move forward and keep on learning new stuff!!.. - Nick

[@eyedesyn]

Hey Nick! You totally could by using the Contour line workflow I covered in this tutorial, you'd just need to add horizontal lines, or Y direction. Hope that helps!

[@fe_nicks]

Hey EJ! Thanks for respond! That's what I meant: www.behance.net/gallery/11968143/Ghost-Memories- www.behance.net/gallery/12043847/Fractale-Reminiscence- Possible to recreate within C4D?

[@danniellejames8284]

Kind of a long shot here, but is it possible to use this effect on real life footage as well, as opposed to on an animated figure? Just curious

[@eyedesyn]

unfortunately no, youd need to have the 3d geometry to do this effect!

[@danniellejames8284]

@@eyedesyn Ah okay, no worries, thanks for getting back to me! Is there a tutorial you have for something similar to this that can be applied to real life video footage? I've been using some of your tutorials to help practice C4D, and I also do some videography stuff and it would be cool if there was a way to merge the two worlds together :)
