There you go!

[@bbA251X7]

Thank you very much for this amazing training. I took about 3 hours to follow exactly what you are doing. A quick question as I saw Cinem4D + Octane on the cover of your youtube image of this video. I that possible to get almost the same result but with just Cinema4D + Stardard rendering ?

[@NewPlastic]

Great question, yes everything is exactly the same until the texturing part. Texturing in the Standard engine will be completely different and honestly, in 2023, I would just tell you to not even try it. It's completely obsolete. It's already been an old engine like 3-4 years ago but now it's just useless and will keep you from truly getting into the world of rendering. RS is worth the extra buck. Or Octane too.

10:44 'because this is very low poly' - dude, one of those fingers has more polygons than most hand models 😅🤣

[@NewPlastic]

Hahah damn now that you mention it I could've probably gotten away with much less polys.

[@CandiceDrakeford]

this is amazing! would love to see a full character tutorial in this style on your Patreon... keep up the good work!

[@NewPlastic]

Hey I'm far from a character person but I did start to dabble more and more with it. Once I feel confident enough in what I can offer, you'll be the first to know!!

[@daltonicanimation]

19:18 how you turned into hi poly and keeped the base lines and points?

[@NewPlastic]

Hey, I'm using the Subdivision Surface object to subdivide the model, so I'm never turning the model into a hi poly. Then I can turn the Subdivision Surface object on and off, or just edit the original model's polygons.

[@benyafezstudio3603]

Awesome tutorial ❤️ Please make tutorial of modelling hand in Blender

[@NewPlastic]

Thank you brother, I don't really use Blender unfortunately, but the methodology is the same in any software, just the tools are different. You can definitely apply this while using the Blender tools! Hopefully I'll get into Blender in the future, it's definitely a plan! (Right after Unreal........and substance designer...............)

[@Fishstoryer]

I'm curious what's the name of the software plugin that controls hand movement at the beginning of your video？

[@NewPlastic]

It's a built in mechanism in C4D, if you right click on your poses and select Add to HUD, it'll create a hovering interface with those poses. I show how to do it in the tutorial that came after this one about rigging

[@lalnunasailo3191]

Nice rig! Can you teach me how to rig with Toonrig ?

[@NewPlastic]

You know, I haven't even heard about the toonrig. I've been working on R20 for the past 2 years and I feel stupid not knowing about this. I think it's definitely time to upgrade! But yeah, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the toonrig, it does look very interesting tho. Once I get the hang of it, I'll share any knowledge I think will be relevant!

[@meghanakankara2883]

I am not able to use the polygon pen to auto weld even though my setting are same as yours

[@NewPlastic]

Someitmes if the points are too close, it glitches out. Try to first move a point further apart, then merge it.

Thank you soooo much!! Can i please more modeling tutorial?

I'm not the best modeler but if I come up with something cool, I'll share it first here! Thanks!

[@3dmonkeybizz]

Hi there! Many thanks for the tutorial. I just purchased the rigged pack and have some sort of problem with the materials. It almost like there are two textures on the hand, light and medium and clear straight lines subtly dividing them??? I am using Octane 2020 1.5 R4! Any ideas?? 🤔

[@NewPlastic]

Thank you so much for purchasing dude! That's weird, I cant seem to imagine what it is, sucks to hear that. We'll fix it in no time tho, can you send me a screenshot to my IG or my email? Tell me where you sent it once you did and we'll take it from there. Thanks again bud!

[@albancontrepois]

great work can you do a tutorial for rigging this model please ?

[@NewPlastic]

Yup yup the rigging tutorial will be uploaded by tomorrow!

[@stasieknie6081]

Amazing work, but i have one question, wouldnt it take less time if u sculpt?

[@NewPlastic]

It would - but since I'm rigging and animating this model, it would need retopologizing after modeling. Box modeling kinda saves you that extra step cuz you create good topology as you model. Since this model has such a simple structure, I didn't feel like sculpting was very much required here. Another thing is that, sculpting does take some skill and talent that has nothing to do with modeling, and more with hand-eye coordination like illustrating. I think box modeling allows people who haven't necessarily practiced that skill to create fun models like this one. But yeah if this was a more complex model I would sculpt it first, then retopoglize.

[@stasieknie6081]

@@NewPlastic thx for anserw, so after sculpt when i want to animate i should retropoligize? Retropoligize need some work/skill or its just a automatic tool?

[@NewPlastic]

@@stasieknie6081 There have been more and more automated tools for that lately, even c4d introduced an auto-retopo tool last version (r23 I think). They actually work pretty well to get a clean topography so can work nice for good texturing, but I think that if you're going for complex rigging and animations (like something more than just a little bending), it's important to get not just clean quads but also the right poly-flow. Meaning, the right poly rings and poly loops that have the flow of deformation you're going for. It's kinda what I've been showing at the end of the video, it's not just a clean quad topology but also the right flow of polygons. It's really messed up, but still in this day the only real way to get it is to retopologize manually. I'm sure that in the near future there will be tools that allow you to get perfect topology automatically, but not yet. It doesn't require much of a skill (beyond the technical understanding of working with the tools and shortcuts of your program), as much as it's knowing what would make a good poly-flow and how to connect different patches of polygons in a smooth and efficient way. But it really starts to click after you do it a couple of times. And it's important to watch videos of people do it so you get the logic of how to approach it. Look up Flipped Normal's video about sculpting vs modeling. They really touch on all that from a very experienced perspective as they're both goats of 3d sculpting.

it's stunning tutorial but for a beginner its just too fast. i have no idea what you are doing with the short cuts:)))

[@NewPlastic]

I know, man, I was just watching a tutorial for Redshift and the guy was moving fast and I was so lost. So I feel you. But when I watch tutorials for programs I'm familiar with I need them to be super fast, which is why I make mine like this. I assume my viewers already know their way around Octane and just want to get to the point. But there are plenty of tutorials out there for beginners!
