Modeling and Baking Tileable Patterns/Textures | Cinema 4D Tutorial

[@akintheodox]

Hey man, you're my Cinema4D teacher and when I play in the major leagues, I won't even forget to always reference and regard you. You're awesome ❤️

[@polygonpen]

Thank you very much :)

[@ajamccoy9822]

I have never wanted to contribute more to a Patreon or subscribe to a KZbin channel in my life, lol. Subscribed, and will join the Patreon this Friday. Thank you so much for all of the effort you put in to crafting these tutorials. Cheers!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you Aja :)

[@feamsdota]

same, he derserves it.

[@neerajchandaver113]

Absolutely!

[@lucaspellicer]

Since I've discovered your channel, I've been working with Cinema 4D everyday. I love it

[@polygonpen]

Awesome :)

[@mattrittman]

Oh my gosh, what a great tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🔥

[@polygonpen]

Thank you :)

[@steve_the_designer]

Fantastic as always. You are a treasure for C4D users!

[@chrissiegfried7540]

Dude you are blowing my mind right now! Thank you so much for explaining that process! I've always wondered how 3D artists do that technique!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you :)

[@mattrittman]

Is there any chance you're able to show how to bake the Displacement map?

[@polygonpen]

It would be very similar to what I did in this tutorial.

[@william_chidube]

I think this is the most valuable KZbin Sub I've ever done. Brilliant!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you very much, welcome!

[@MrSina21]

Saved the day! Thanks, Also people who need to make the displacement map can use the same method but remember the plane should be close to the surface and use "Instansity Center". Master, please update the video with all the maps :D

[@polygonpen]

Thanks, I will think about that!

[@eddierobbertse8957]

Wow, your tutorials are very, very practical. The methods you teach can be used in so many ways. Really appreciate your channel!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you Eddie :)

[@TheFiammator]

Man once again you hit the target! Thank you for the awesome tutorial, I was really struggling trying to find some good way to bake texture to export. Thank you so much!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you!!

[@Pkw4js]

Best c4d tutorials on KZbin!

[@goranthoren5522]

Awesome technique, thanks! Looking forward to the next tutorial.

[@amjadahdab]

Perfect work!

[@wsia3892]

Thanks to you, I understand how to bake. But I have another question about the rendering: may I ask how you managed to get the mapping to follow the face of the gamepad perfectly? I use the box way, but it makes the model have seams.

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

Awesome approach - never done that! Thanks!

[@fahim618]

wow! I didn't know you use Octane. I just subbed to watch some modeling videos. I switched from C4D to blender and I use Octane for Blender. So I hope I can learn something new about Octane from you. Great Video. Thanks man

[@polygonpen]

Thank you, I will upload more Octane, I think you can follow up, they should be identical.

[@fahim618]

@@polygonpen yep I came to your channel for modelling now I have octane that's great like hunting 2 birds with a stone haha

[@learn2share461]

So good, thanks for sharing again! Do you know if it's possible to create and bake an animated normal map, like bubbles sliding on a window for example?

[@polygonpen]

Thank you, I never did it but could be posible.

[@optimus6858]

brilliant wish u showed an example on c4d itself or vray thanks

[@polygonpen]

Just put the texture in notmal map slot in any render engine's material, all same.

[@dhidavidhuys8487]

Superb tutorial.As always thank you so much.Wish there was a tutorial like this for sculpting for gamemodels. Thank you

[@polygonpen]

Actually I have a similar tutorial, check for Barrel Tutorial on my channel.

[@justinbentvelsen9005]

dude this is really helping me out, thank you!

[@polygonpen]

Awesome

[@bitjame4195]

Great job! Very helpful!

[@JimmyHuynhdesign]

Is there a way to get the actual 3 dimension pattern you did at the beginning of the video and apply it to the controller (versus just the map)? Thank you!

[@polygonpen]

Yeah, Shrink wrap deformer might do it but it works in a 2D mapping style so it won't look that good.

[@JohnKappaAU]

This is genius! Thanks so much

[@JdotCarver]

I mean, I thought baking should be done in Marmoset, but the tutorial itself is great! And that controller definitely looks amazing!

[@polygonpen]

Thank you :)

[@ChaosProwler]

Thanks a lot! Great tutorials as always. pls do more material series 👏👏

[@mtmousehp]

Awesome tutorial man! Could you please make a tutorial on baking the similar type of textures in Vray C4D? I'm really confused with adding normal map in Vray material in C4D. Thank you!

[@polygonpen]

Thanks but there is gonna be no Vray stuff in near future but you can use the same baking methods and use the maps in Vray, there is not much difference.

[@mwasifanjum]

Superb tutorial! But I'm stuck after creating Normal map. I''m using c4d 2024 + redshift. So in RS node mode, I tried to use the normal map>bump map, made the input map type to Tangent-Space-Normal, added RS object tag and turned on the override and displacement both. But, not showing in displacement 😥

[@polygonpen]

Thanks, normal and displacement are completely different things though, this map only works for normals, for displacement, you need a different bake.

[@themoexperience]

The best! Thank you!

[@raffixer6283]

Great Tutorial thank you! Quick question, is this pattern 3D printable when its saved as STL?

[@polygonpen]

Thanks, sure thing but make sure to subdivide it a few times to get a smooth print.

[@KirillPodcast]

Great tutor! Thanks!

[@raoulrodriguez5108]

Loved the beginner's tutorials. And looking forward for more. Any chance of doing more beginner's tutorials? Thanks!

[@kwnva]

You're the best!

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

Hi Mert, thanks for that. I couldn't figure it out how to bake a normal/displacement with a couple of hierarched objects with subdivision surface applied to them. It seems you can only source a single mesh. Could you help me?

[@polygonpen]

Yeah, ypu should make them a single object, just select them all and connect them, then you can ungroup them.

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

@@polygonpen That doesn't make sense, let's suppose we have a plan with several drops of sweat laid over it and we would like to bake them into a normal map texture. Applying a Connect object to the whole group doesn't allow me to source those objects.

[@polygonpen]

@@Ricardo-de9ju For more advanced baking, you should try other programs, in C4D normal baking is very primative, I can get a good result only on planer objects with simple geometry or repetetive patterns.

[@GizmoXYZ]

You are the best master, best regards.

[@iosebtverdsky7386]

very cool. I also need to bake alpha, but i cannot bake. can you tell how to bake alpha?

[@polygonpen]

I have never baked an alpha image before, I need to check that out.

[@iosebtverdsky7386]

@@polygonpen okey, thank you.

[@chonvar]

Hey thanks for the nice tutorial. I have a small question. How could you achieve the same result as you did with the material but wrapping the pattern geometry instead ? Without deforming the pattern ? Is this possible with the shrinkwrap deformer ? Thanks a lot for your work.

[@polygonpen]

Thanks. Unfortunately you can not use the pattern mesh with shrink wrap to project it on the controller, because shrink wrap has a limit, your object that will be projected ( with shrink wrap ) should have a similar shape to the mesh ( like thecontroller).

[@chonvar]

@@polygonpen Thanks for your response. So is there anyway of reproducing complex pattern like that around complex curved objects ? The same as you did with the material but with real geometry ?

[@polygonpen]

You can do it but I think Zbrush or an alternative method would be faster and better, I didn't try something like that in C4D with poly/subD modeling techniques.

[@chonvar]

@@polygonpen Thank you for your response and for sharing your knowledge. Your tutorials are gold

[@nikita.kapustin]

Master!

Thank you Nikita :)

[@buivantai3256]

thank you so much bro

[@p1nkyTF2]

It does say "Could not allocate render space" to me, what exactly does it mean? I`m trying to export sphere with displacement modifier to another sphere, what am I missing?

[@polygonpen]

I have never seen such an error, maybe you need to apply the deformer to the object before baking, if this is what you are trying to do.

[@p1nkyTF2]

@@polygonpen I even merged model with the displacement modifier but same issue, any other ideas/solutions you could suggest me to do?

[@zeewaqarhusnain1743]

great technique. super duper.

[@davidlisteresq]

I followed this along with my own object but it will not bake onto the plane. I just get an completely purple square, no height mapping info at all

[@polygonpen]

Sorry to hear that, try one more time, you may have missed a step.

[@Elysium.4D]

bro my connect modifier just make the objects in one mesh and doesn't connect the points why is that happening?

[@polygonpen]

Change the threshold value.

[@kevinrehder3258]

Hi Mert. How do I gain access to the whole tutorial of this Xbox controller? Do I just have to subscribe to the Patreon?

[@talhazulqarnain2126]

Can I leave an empty space in the texture to make it see through ? For example I am trying to make a Rattan texture

[@polygonpen]

To do that, you will need an alpha map.

[@talhazulqarnain2126]

@@polygonpen Instead of the Normal Map ? With same technique?

[@polygonpen]

@@talhazulqarnain2126 Yeah, same technique, just make the colors black and white, I mean make the mesh white and the background black.
