Cinema 4D: Texture Mapping to PBR Materials

[@IlyaAndreev-1]

In PBR workflow you have to leave color Chanel empty to be physically correct . This is the rule of PBR material . The color diffuse should be in reflection channel

[@ballertv718]

Your right! This is not PBR Workflow i'm sorry to ell you. I have been studying it and very say stay within reflection channel and shut the Color channel off. To be physically correct and cut down on Render time by don't telling the system to render 2x channel for color twice. but good tut of how you do it.

Why different result between minute 3:00 with 12:20, can you fix it ?

[@Rodhetfield]

thank you so much! works fine. im using arnold render and cant see the texture apply it only see white on the ipr window. You think its probably that i have to do the material direct on Arnold render to get work or just missing something?

[@megacosmic6507]

I have a problem when I add a height map to the render becomes a green blob. All other attributes are fine. Any tips :P

[@hatsunemikuchannel2023]

Thank you Mr. Kyle! You're very detailed! 😯😯😊😊

I'm in cinema4d r18 and I don't have the "create PBR material" option. Is it because is an old version or there's a way to do it?

[@CorGames]

I think this is only with the update, I'm using R20.

[@riccardorapetti1545]

@@CorGames Thank you! Even tho I can't use the pbr nice tutorial!

[@janzhil]

@@riccardorapetti1545 you can just create PBR material by creating normal material, unchecking color, deleting all layers from reflectance in which then you create lambertian diffuse layer and after that beckmann layer in which you put roughness up to 30%(or 20% not sure at the moment) and change layer fresnel to dielectric - PET and thats it. you should also create pbr light which is just area light with area shadow, physically accurate falloff and photometric intensity turned on and set to 5000. I saw that in another tutorial by digital meat, it should be right.

[@Pieter_Lion]

Great tutorial! however im having a problem i cant seem to fix. When I render in octane the texture appears pixelated. Any idea how i can fix this?

[@agustinmartinez8251]

excelent tutorial , you saved my life im new and i dont have idea where put so much images hahaha tnks man

[@thamalinihamham7429]

Is albedo same as bump because i cant find a bump texture on the texture i downloaded. Great Tutorial!

[@CorGames]

Albedo isn't the same as bump. Bump could be the same as a Normal though!

[@gavenwilde9015]

Albedo map is the same as a color map or a diffuse map! If it says diffuse, albedo, or color, it’s all the same map just different names for them! It just depends on what website you do Waldo it from. They all go in the color panel in c4d. Took me a while to figure this out.

[@princessmasquerading]

Hi! Nice tutorial, but I can't use these materials if I render with vray (in cinema). What can i do?? Thanks

[@deanb8191]

Great tutorial. I was looking for an explanation on how to do this and could not find it anywhere. How did you learn or figure out the right combination of things to do here? Seems impossible to learn unless you "just know" somehow.

[@CorGames]

No tricks or cheats here, I just found the C4DCentre information page and thought I'd turn it into a video! Glad this helped you! 😃

[@deanb8191]

@@CorGames Went there and couldn't see the info you mention even with the goal of finding it specifically. How is anyone supposed to know how to import these materials properly when the info is not readily available or automated? Yeesh. FYI, there is a live-link way of exporting materials to C4D from bridge, however, this results in absolutely horrible materials in C4D with no specular, etc. Hence, why I was looking for this info.

[@CorGames]

@@deanb8191 Hi Dean, yeah this true only explains the materials once in C4D. I might create a handy work sheet or does the video cover everything? Thanks again!

[@deanb8191]

@@CorGames I think this does a pretty good job of explaining. Just baffled why this was so hard to find. This was the only source on how to do this. Aren't there others who are trying to use these assets? And why can't they make the Bridge export just do this? So bizzare. What an ugly mis-match between systems. Thanks again.

this helped so much !!! thank you!

Thank you for this! Been struggling to get this information. 👍👍

Really Helpfull thx Bro

Thank you so much. This is so helpful!

[@Ameerhamzaminhas]

thank you so much for creating this video

[@mr1992er]

thank you

[@sigradesign9833]

thanks a lot! What makes me wondering: in most cases the albedo/bump map is placed inside the reflectance lambert diffus instead of the color channel, because this is basically the pbr workflow. However it looks better with your settings!

[@user-prokopych]

good
