In this C4D tutorial we'll learn how to create your own enamel or die-cast pins modeled with Octane. It's relatively easy but the results are so rewarding, especially if you love enamel pins like I do. You'll need Photoshop or any other photo editing app to setup the graphics but

I think he gives the most clear, trendy tutorial in c4d channel scene ever. Thanks a lot from korea ;) your tutorial is sososososo helpful!

[@NewPlastic]

My pleasure dood!

[@JohnFrazier]

My workflow is Blender and one of these would take HOURS of tweaking the mesh to do it right. I'm going to look at Cinema 4D because damn this was easy.

[@NewPlastic]

Oh damn are you sure you can't use the Texture Displacement options in Blender to do the exact same thing?

[@mitchellsack]

This looks great! I have serious respect for you, for taking the time to create these tutorials.

[@aaronamaro3329]

Thank you once again!!

[@joyecheung3109]

Very useful tutorial!

im beyond confused about how do you not have more subscribers and views?? so happy i found ur channel!

[@SidharthGanguly]

So cool!

Love your videos and the way you teach, Can you pls create an in-depth video for different Glass/liquid material shaders? Thanks ✌

[@Cipher_Paul]

Who's here from Corridor Crew / Sam and Niko's latest video (the Bob Ross one) ? Apparently even professionals like your videos so that's cool 👍 I hope you'll get lots of subscribers.

Awesome Tut! I was attempting to create this and was doing it the wrong way then found this video. Super helpful to see you make this, thanks for sharing!

[@NewPlastic]

That's amazing, glad I could help

[@sidlake5954]

Finally new video, I felt kinda sad that you wasn't upload anything for that long LMAO!

[@NewPlastic]

Dude I felt kinda sad not making one! Been out of the country for a few weeks and once I got back it took me a whole week to make a new video. Felt rusty! But I'm back baby!

[@WazxChannel]

I just started to use octane a month ago, and found your channel at the same time. You help newbies a lot to understand Octane logic. Best Octane channel by far! THANK YOU and shoutout from France!

[@NewPlastic]

Wesh pelo! Happy to help brother!

[@EmanElhosiny]

What is octane?

[@YoviK]

You are a bless for us!

[@NewPlastic]

[@leoincolor]

this is great, i was actually trying to figure out how to do the edges, i supposed it was with displacement maps, but didn't get it quite right. Amazing tips!

[@NewPlastic]

Yeah I was actually surprised it worked without breaking when I first tried the technique. I think keeping the Mid Level of the displacement at 1, and making sure the graphics are aligned, is the secret.

Been wanting to create this in Redshift so bad. Do you think you'll drop a tutorial for it or that the logic could be applied to Redshift? Love your content!

I bet there's a few tutorials about this out there!

[@cia5374]

Waiting for the lighting tutorial.

[@NewPlastic]

Me too brother. Hopefully this month, it will be a serious and I'm trying to take a more practical and creative approach rather than technical explanation of lighting in Octane.

[@gusmaiawork]

hey there mate, great tutorial as always! quick question though: at 2:01 when you make the shape meant to be extruded, is there any motive to use 'expand appearance + expand' instead of 'outline strokes'? thanks and keep up the great work!

[@NewPlastic]

Yeah so if you outline stroke, you'll get vector shapes both of the outer side of the stroke and of the inner side. What you want is to only get the shape of the outer side of the stroke, and expanding appearance merges the stroke and the inner shape as one large shape. My pleasure dude!

[@prettygrotesk254]

you should make some pins!

[@texturisa1927]

Could you make a tutorial with Redshift?

[@NewPlastic]

Yeah I'll probably make the same video for Redshift soon

[@NewPlastic]

@@deanschuettpelz7627 Thank you dawg! Much love

[@assamass]

Great tutorial! But when importing materials for diffuse, color map, and displacement, the sizes are completely off. And my shape is a bit complex, so I cannot have a perfect fit when playing with a transform node... Any ideas?

[@NewPlastic]

Hmm yeah it'll be tricky, maybe this: Click on material tag In "Projection" Set to Flat Up in the top icons, where you have "Point Mode", "Edge Mode" etc click on "Texture Mode" Now you can move the texture around with the axis tool for better precision.

[@TheWilink]

Hello, If I buy the pack, will it works with others forms of pins than circle/square/triangle or will the render bé bad on strange forms ? Thanks you for the tutorial !

[@mattdoyle4563]

Hey! Great tutorial. I am hitting a bit of a road block when trying to render out a rotating animation, the first frame will not even render. I even left it on for about half and hour and the renderer couldn't make it past the first frame. Any ideas?

Change you render settings or beef up your pc.

Hi! Would you be able to create this video with the newer C4D and how to do it with just a jpeg/png?

[@NewPlastic]

I show at the end how to do it with a JPG! And I'm not sure about the newer C4D, any reason to do it that I'm missing?

[@vfp92]

@@NewPlastic I tried to follow along with your video but it got a bit confusing for me to figure out how to work solely with JPG/PNG files.I had to keep going back to the beginnings of the video to figure out how you set up the smart objects and stuff for your original vector files. I also had trouble figuring out how to set up C4D with the JPG/PNG files that I turned into a vector outline/displacement layer, etc. I'm super new to C4D so having someone explain step-by-step with this method would really help! I hope you'll consider as it would be a life saver!

[@gustavoferreira2951]

Hey Guy, i'm following the tutorial and when i link the displacement texture, the inside of the enamel starts showing a weird mesh that i cant seem to get rid of. Can you help me out?

[@NewPlastic]

Hey, try and slowly bring Ray Epsilon down in the Kernel Settings until it disappears.

[@ritiksoni3207]

hi I am new to all this can we do all this in blender and octane for blender and have you made these for only rendering purposes or can we cast these like are these only for renders or are 3D objects for 3D printing.

[@NewPlastic]

No these are just made for rendering, not as 3d models. And yes techincally you can use this knowledge for Octane for Blender, I assume a lot is similar. But I wouldn't know.

[@ritiksoni3207]

@@NewPlastic Thanks. And can you tell me which should i learn blender or c4d or any other for realistic jewellery rendering and animation.

[@miaot5130]

Newbie here and haven’t finished watching, just wondering if I can use redshift to achieve the same effect… no experience with any renderer yet lol… for the lighting, should I just download hdri somewhere??

[@ananaisdesign]

Hello! Redshift user here, yes you can! I did struggle a bit for the displacement (it's not in the same place), but if you use a tutorial about displacement in redshift there's no problem and you can achieve this result! Good luck :)

[@arvinterrago1460]

@@ananaisdesign Hey there! I'm completely new to Cinema4D and Redshift, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the displacement material. I was wondering if you could share some tips on how to make the displacement push inward. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

[@user-hx4lv4ce8w]

Wat if some parts have glitter?

[@nohareal3543]

I can’t find the tool in 7:28

[@NewPlastic]

This is simply the asset browser. I'm using C4D s24 but if you're using an older version, it should be on the very right side of the screen, under the Objects tab. It looks slightly different but behaves almost the same way.
