[@shuhrattashkenbaev23]

Thanks! This video was really useful for me, please more tutorials. Thanks again!

[@Colorcubic]

I’m really glad to know these tuts have helped so many people. Been working on a lot of custom products, including Cinema 4D resources and tools, among other things. As soon as those are ready, I’ll be coming back to make more tutorials. Probably another month.

[@constantadi]

Really well explained. Thanks! Would appreciate if you have time to make a tutorial with how you textured/rendered the scene in order to learn how you got to the final image in the tutorial thumbnail

[@Colorcubic]

Thank you! I'm finishing up a lighting plugin, which will help you achieve that same look and feel, which also includes textures, an HDRI light source, and fully customizable backdrops. Looking to drop it here soon.

[@LuisRdzG10]

Nicely explained, thanks for the tutorial

Really nice video!

[@Colorcubic]

Thank you

[@patrickh4968]

very well talked through.

[@Colorcubic]

Cheers! Thank you!

[@nannenymous]

Wish you could do a tutorial on the coloring. Can't nail that look you made for the metal part.

[@Colorcubic]

I have a lighting plugin I'm finishing up. It's pretty robust, which will allow you to achieve that same look as in the render. I'm planing on dropping it soon.

[@GoDxism]

Thank you! Any chance you could continue this tutorial and create the headphone jack as well please?

[@Colorcubic]

Sure, I can do that.

[@acen792]

@@Colorcubic Please do that ! hahaha ❤️️

[@okibrou]

Great!!!... thanks

[@Colorcubic]

You're welcome :-)

[@Cartterr.]

Thanks man!!! How did you learn all this cinema 4d Awesome things!?

[@Colorcubic]

7 years of trial & error. lol ;-)

[@UriBenny]

Thank you

[@Colorcubic]

You're welcome.

[@danielpaulodaniel]

Very Nice! I was wondering, how would you do it to transform a regular object into a slinky? Lets say if I wanted to make a coke can jumping down the stairs like a slinky? How would you made it?

[@Colorcubic]

This is a great question. I would need to reverse-engineer the process, but it’s certainly doable. Especially with a lot of the dynamic effects in C4D.

[@danielbarros5610]

Colorcubic it would be awesome !

[@ssojyeti2]

for the headphone jack, my idea is to use an align to spline tag, but how would I account for the extra displacement caused by the spline wrap?

[@Colorcubic]

Excellent question. Per the request of some, I’ll be adding a tutorial to show how I finished the headphone Jack.

[@wreck9105]

wow nice man

[@Colorcubic]

thank you

[@gbot3923]

thank you dude

[@Colorcubic]

My pleasure

[@singadult]

What is your screen recorder name

[@3deeart]

You are amazing! Thanks for this tutorial! Is there any chance to animate this cable? :)

[@Colorcubic]

Thanks, Dee! As a matter of fact, there is. The render time takes a bit, so I'm working on a way to optimize that process as well. I'll be sure to upload the update once completed. Cheers!

[@3deeart]

Colorcubic Cant wait!! Thanks indeed!

[@Wolfinger1935]

I have been trying for years to come up with a system that allows me to animate a coiled wire with jacks at each end. I want the jacks to control each end of the coil. Still no luck. Anyone have a tutorial out there that addresses this?

[@Colorcubic]

Definitely have a solution for this. I’ll add it to my docket of tutorials to produce.

[@bagusprasetyo5273]

Great tutorial and it's easy to follow, but I want to know how to make the final model as shown in the thumbnail, so it's a little bit disappointing for me because I clicked the video to learn how to make the complete cable with the jack and all of its material and lighting. But hey, keep up the goodwork! :)

[@Har2h]

7:22 THIS CABLE IS SO DAMN UGLY NOT EVEN HIS MOMA WANTED TO LOOK AT HIM XD

[@Colorcubic]

lol soooooo ugly. ;-)

[@aydns7]

Thank you.. Please Where is part 2 ?

[@Colorcubic]

I initially didn’t plan on doing a part 2, as it was intended to be more of a jumping off point. But enough people have asked for it, that I’ll put together a few more versions.
