Using Cinema 4D Art for Augmented Reality with Adobe Aero

[@FARAJSCHOOL]

you are one of C4D Iconics, I am learning from you alot, Thanks alot

[@markelliot2994]

I can't express my gratitude enough for crating this demo...this may be the push my boss needs to invest in a new ipad so we can get rolling! Let be greedy and beg for more on this subject! Again ty!

[@eyedesyn]

Very welcome! Keep in mind you don't need to buy an iPad Pro to take advantage of this feature, any of the iPads created in the last couple years can do this!

[@areavirtual3d]

omg this guy is a library! amazing amount of info!

[@drne6244]

Thanks for sharing all this

[@bluezaza]

thanks for this! it might help me get a raise at work! ha!

[@LoganPinney]

Another fantastic tutorial from the 3D boss !!! Thanks so much EJ - let me know when I don't need apple products to do this...☹

[@eyedesyn]

Yeaaaah that's the one downside, only available on iOS. I've read this is because the components shipped in Android phones are not up to snuff for this kind of AR computing

[@flashgordonrocks]

thank you!

[@ak5258]

so i came here to learn how to make an asset with baked textures/ animation and save it as .USDZ for iOS. appreciate any help. great tutorial regardless as always EJ

[@lochuynh3317]

so great! it seem to be exported via FBX file that make interaction more better.

[@rosedandy7677]

wow!!

[@eyedesyn]

thanks for watching! :)

[@prankfever8877]

do you need cinema 4d for this ? i use iclone 8

[@virtualthreads360]

Is there a solution to the colours being completely washed out?

[@hihi-ip6xu]

hey, thanks for your video, but I am curious that once it's done where do we upload the reality file, and how do we make it interactive with audiences in the same site as in how do you launch it? because it seems like we just can interact with the creator, and only can record a video to share, right?

[@pennedarts]

Nice! 👌👌

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks very much! Appreciate you watching!

[@JamalQutub]

Great tutorial! The FBX export seems to handle rigged animations perfectly compared to GLTF(GLB) export. Although the GLTF supports PBR textured objects better. Ah well, the infancy of this sort of thing I guess.

[@1augh0utL0UD]

Is there a way to have this animation come up when triggered by a certain graphic? For instance, if I created beverage packaging for a client, could I have an animation trigger if the packaging is scanned? I’m assuming you need a QR code or something?

[@simontrickfilmer]

How can I do AR like that to get an QR-Code, to send it to a customer/Endconsumer, so he can watch it? Without AERO!

[@smallville333]

I want to know the same thing

[@tushaarsonkar8247]

Unity

[@fernsehdesign]

simontrickfilmer Try Sketchfab

[@MotionDesigner009]

Did you find out ??

[@ItzGoldfish1]

If you set your material in C4D "Color>texture>layer" You can't export as an FBX? They just turn white?

[@seawhelkmagical7237]

Nice tutorial! I wanna ask is there anyone know why my model is all white and missing some part when i export the fbx into my adobe aero :(

[@DanielPartzsch]

Thanks for the tutorial. But other than recording a screencast are there any other options with the different export settings to somehow directly publish the experience for social media. For commercial projects this would be crucial.

[@fernsehdesign]

Daniel Partzsch ... On iPhone 8 the recorded preview looks like a jpeg from last century... unusable. So I have to do screenrecording. But then Th recordbutton is in the way... Hope Adobe recognizes this and makes it a more serious tool.

[@jigcam7024]

Do you have to animate with bones? I just did a simple squash and stretch on an object but the animation didn't seem to come through along with any color i applied. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!!

[@jeremynelson7215]

This is beyond clutch! I've been experimenting with Aero but hitting the wall with parts of models & textures not coming through properly. The poly count limits & restrictions on texture channels are the "gottcha's" I've been running into. Huge thanks for putting this together! Any insight on whether or not other channels (ie. bump/normal/luminosity) will be available soon? Thanks again!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah you need to be aware of a few things or your animations come in all janky! The whole limit of 6 weights per vertices definitely threw me for a loop awhile back! Not sure when all those things will be added but I hope soon! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

[@jeremynelson7215]

@@eyedesyn Jenky to the max!! I had parts of my model flickering, others MIA, and no tex - much improved already but the colors look a little flat, almost like CMYK vs RGB. Probably just the way Aero renders things. Like you said in the vid though - I think this is going to be a game-changer for motion designers who have steered clear of AR because of the technical complexity.

[@arashmazinani]

Massive thanks for this. I'm a cinema 4D noob and managed to get an animated CAD model into Aero and working. But I've got a 'too many meshes' error message with some models despite them being under the 130k polygon limit. Is there a limit to the number of meshes you can have in an object?

[@blackout1111]

Do you have to use Adobe’s link to their tool to use the AR data or can you use the data from Aero to create your own AR tool?

[@fullbars]

There's no project file on the link.

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

This is kind of a general question, but when you bake a material, are you just re-applying the baked material and then the shaders will come out when exported? Or does retexturing happen in the software you import the model into? (in this case, I don't know if Aero has a texturing component, but thought I'd ask if that's how it normally works). Baking is very confusing concept to me.

[@Dwiki_RP]

can we use this as Instagram Filter like Spark AR?

[@haveyoumetjose]

Hi, was curious if I’m missing something because my materials won’t show up on Aero. I’m using Octane Render and Materials. Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏽

[@eyedesyn]

Unfortunately Octane Materials aren't supported - you have to use standard materials as I mentioned in the tutorial! :)

[@pieminator6969]

A real shame it's for Apple ios only, any alternatives for Windows users?

[@eyedesyn]

Good question for Adobe! I've read this is because the components shipped in Android phones are not up to snuff for this kind of AR computing, also Apple, Adobe and Pixar are working together to create these platforms and file formats.

[@danielslusarz1]

@@eyedesyn hmmm. It's a bit weard becouse sketchfab make things like this both for latest android and iOs.

[@leonnikoo]

Hi Ej. For animation, do you have to do a rig or can you just do simple keyframe animations. When I import the files into Aero, it doesn't play out. Thanks

[@JamalQutub]

PSR Animations are supported as well. Animations don't auto-play. You need to select your placed animated object and add a Behavior. For Behavior > +Trigger > Tap Action > Animate (In Animate window you can preview your Animation).

[@leonnikoo]

@@JamalQutub Yes, super weird. Tried a few things and its not working. I have only done really simple animations too! Can't figure it out. When I try to trigger the animations, nothing drops down like Ej's. Confused about this.

[@WealthyAffiliateVid]

When is the full release of Aero ?

[@eyedesyn]

There's a pretty full featured release of Aero out right now!

[@MindWaveStudiosLtd]

@@eyedesyn EJ do you know if an Aero app is being developed for Android?

[@eyedesyn]

@@MindWaveStudiosLtd I have no idea! Good question for the folks at Adobe but I would assume so...right now from what I understand Android phones don't have the hardware to support the technology being developed right now. Pixar, Apple, and Adobe are working together on this venture from what I've been reading!

[@MegaARYARAJ]

Unfortunately it support only ios

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

3:09 But but.... my phone has bigger ram than my laptop :’)

[@AshishGuhagarkar]

wwwwwoooowwwww!!!!

[@marjolijnpatist5341]

yeah im good yeah im good yeah im good.... now lets hop on over to my ipad -_- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that was an evenings waste of time -_-

[@oussamaelhaloui9511]

I want to be a good designer. But I don't have a good laptop or Desktop

[@AjmalBasil]

OSM HLW 04 You don’t need a good laptop or desktop to become a good designer. You just need the passion and patience.If you can achieve both of this, you can become a great designer.

[@eyedesyn]

@@AjmalBasil Totally agree with Ajmal here! There are people all over the world creating amazing things with very little tools available to them. Just simply having a laptop is enough to start creating so get to it! :)
