How To Make Wood Look GOOD In Cinema 4D

[@shawnastrom]

Awesome stuff Chad! Love Greyscalegorilla Studio!!!

[@cgpov]

Thanks dood!

[@blckops712]

100% would love to see that renamer in plus. Most of our scenes have like 30 takes, so ya it can be tidious if you need to go and rename a bunch of them for whatever reason.

[@_carsonjones]

Yes to adding the Plus Renamer - that would be great!

[@butiamavegetarien]

thank you! is it possible with octane, too? thanks

[@cgpov]

I don’t see why not 👍

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Yes!

[@birthright.online1795]

Please do a Octane version too. by the way Greyscalegorilla Studio is fire. Nice one Chad and the Team

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks!!! We appreciate that!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks Chad!

[@cgpov]

You’re welcome ❤

[@seyferf]

is there a Octane version of this? many thanks in advance if there is.

[@cgpov]

Same principles, so it should work

[@seyferf]

@@cgpov awesome Ill give this a try :D thanks Chad :D

[@user-bd1ck8jy6y]

Make sure you set the Bump Blender to Additive Mode to mix the normal map and Round Corners correctly. The way Chad did it here basically replaces the normal map with the Round Corners.

Top stuff and presentation

[@cgpov]

❤️

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks!

[@brunobordini7696]

Wow! Really nice!

[@scottsimmons6814]

Yes- I want Plus Renamer, too!

[@mwasifanjum]

Super helpful! I was exactly searching something like this a while ago and found the shader switch isn't the answer. But this is the answer!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Glad we could help!

[@Moggy93]

I would LOVE to see the lighting set up details. Beautiful lighting!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Good idea!

[@mikepindara8478]

Worth noting that RS doesn't always love the material stacking, especially when it comes to AOVs. But you should be able to use that same tag in a vertex map, and blend them in one material instead.

[@steveb6538]

Why wouldn’t I want PlusRenamer😁

[@nimrod7785]

0:33 What kind of scanner is that?

[@bil_chamberlin]

Sweet, great as always!

[@cgpov]

🙌

[@ali.3d]

Absolutely love this kind of breakdown! Pls make more 🙏🏽

[@Greyscalegorilla]

thanks!

[@smogwawelski9987]

wow the plus renamer would be a great thing to add to plus membership, I was wondering if there was a way of doing that in C4D

[@cgpov]

Yah I use it all the time!

[@joachimplett997]

A very helpful tutorial - thank you for your efforts!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vanness_lyh]

Plus renamer pls~

[@BoghmaCommunity]

Nice Render!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks!

renamer please yes

[@stephmaccormick3195]

Your "chatoyance" is actually anisotropy. And "nano tubes" are simply capillaries. They are not even close to the nano-scale. Try not making thinks more complicated than necessary.

[@brandonsmith8235]

Here's a tutorial idea: If you've only known Octane - How to follow a tutorial that uses Redshift as the renderer and still get great Octane results?

[@Greyscalegorilla]

🤔

[@atakankupcu3617]

Watching the intro made me think you would show some anisotropy tips for wood but we ended up watching some basic Redshift jitter. Isn't it misleading? I love you guys, you gave me so much when I started my C4D journey. Can't forget that. But after Plus, all you do is promote the products. Nothing wrong with promoting of course but doing it under teaching feels off.

听不懂英文啊

[@hypeuprise7026]

I’m pretty sure wood doesn’t need a metallic map, it’s dielectric…

[@Greyscalegorilla]

That's what we thought, too! Until we did a deep dive into how to make make more realistic wood. Turns out some woods look more realistic when using these maps. Feel free to try our free version of Studio to see them in action!

[@joaosabbadini.motion]

Thanks, Chad!

[@cgpov]

You’re welcome!
