Very good topology model bro.

Thanks!

Great techniques! A tip when using decals with flat projection; Right click the texture tag and choose fit to image. That way it will have the correct aspect ratio.

Hey! I just wanted to thank you for your effort in this channel. I'm starting to enjoy 3D modeling which is HUGE. I've just bought your drone course and I hope it will solidify my knowledge and make me confident with any hard surface object. I'm sure it will. Thank you very much! For future videos I think it would be good to have an explanation for what is the best way to add labels to an object preserving exact proportions. Your UX Unwrapping explanation is by far the best on KZbin for Cienma4D. Edit: Just finished this video. Just rediscovered a way to add labels in a very quick and simple way! Maybe not super exact and professional, but it's fast... :D

[@polygonpen]

Thank you, if you want to add lebels etc, precisely, you need to unwrap your objects, you can watch my package tutorials, I explain it in details or you can find an UV playlist on my channel.

Hello, which setteins did you adjust to set a few points to the Null such as at 7:30 by merely pulling them both down with Scale-tool? It looks like the magnet is working by you. I can do it only by setting the Null in the Coordinate Manager manually, otherwise I cant exactly hit the Null coordinate by pulling, I get either a bit more or less than Null.

@@polygonpen biede bir sorum var. Yillarca cinema 4d kullandim be adinda Blender de kullanmaya basladim modelleme icin. Sence hardsurface gibi isler ici se ce Blender veya Cinema 4Dmi dahak kolay kullanmak icin? Modelleme kismis tabu. Tesekkurler

[@polygonpen]

@@konoboi Tam anlayamadım ne demek istediğini ama hangisi daha kolay diyorsan, Cinema 4D daha kolay genel olarak.

[@konoboi]

@@polygonpen Ingilizce anlatigim derdimi haha, i mean i worked for several years with cinema 4D then switch to blender only because i feel limited with tools in cinema 4D (i was using cinema 4d r19 at the time). In blender for hard surface there a lot addons and stuff like hardops etc.. and now seeing on your channels making modeling hard surface etc comes lot easier. My question is if you have ever experiences modeling in Blender ? if yes, what do you think of it ? is it more easier in Blender or Cinema 4D.

[@ridgi8605]

I had a lot of fun making this tutorial. As usual, great modeling technique. I particularly enjoyed the work with the splines to model the protective mask. It took me over 3 hours to do the tutorial. Curious to know how long you take to prepare such a tutorial. A small downside. I find that remeshing the mask has several problems. It is certain that once the material is applied, it goes well. I tried an experiment. I did not use the Boole. In the Sweep I increased the Intermediate Points for Splines and Circles. I placed the three Sweeps in a Volume Builder with the setting ( Voxel Size=0.4). I placed the Volume Builder in a Volume Mesher with its default values. Then I put all that in the Remesh with the settings (Mesh Density=10, Adaptive=0, Detect Hard Egges=Shading). The result is perfect. Virtually no defects in the mesh. Almost identical to the model in the photo. Volume Builder could be a good alternative to Boole Builder in some cases. Thanks for what you do. Tu es SUPER.

[@polygonpen]

Thank you very much! Thank you very much for the tip, combining volume objects and Zremesher is a great idea, I will give it more chance. I believe I worked several hours before recording. Keep practising and let us know if you find any better ways model!

[@richwp5580]

This tutorial is gold! I'm learning C4D, so Instead of just replicating everything you do, I'm trying to understand the workflow as best I possibly can. I have a question: At the 4:40 mark, a 'cloth surface' is used without explanation... Can someone expand on this step, and what it does? Thanks in advance!

[@polygonpen]

Thanks, I use it for polygon extrusion, it is a generator for procedural extrusion.

is the cloth object a reliable way of adding thickness to objects similar to Max Shell modifier or Blender solidify ? I suppose extrude tool doesn't work so well in many cases or is it?

[@polygonpen]

Cloth object is a good way to add thickness to non editable objects, that is why I used it in the tutorial ( to give thickness to Nurb objects ), you can use extrude tool as well, no problem.

[@orphydiancg7759]

@@polygonpen The thing is Max and Blender modifiers have some extra options specifically meant for adding thickness to hard surface planar models (with sharp corners etc) and they still fail in many cases. So I wonder how C4d managed to do this with a non dedicated feature. Do you happen to have some other vids for this topic!

[@polygonpen]

@@orphydiancg7759 Same issue occurs in C4D as well, there are a few ways to get aorund the problem, normal move is one of them, or the ultimate/last hope solution is making objects editable and manually adjusting points/edges etc, I hope I understod your question right?

[@orphydiancg7759]

@@polygonpen Yeah pretty much. Am I wrong or did they added something called Solidify node or capsule within their procedural assets? I doubt it's nothing more than an extrusion op but it look they started to adopt standard concepts from 3d.Hope they will added similar functionality not just names.

[@giulianovaccai]

hi polygonpen, I wanted to point out a problem related to bolean operations. When you try to run a boolean on a non-planar surface, such as I your helmet, the holes made by moving with around the object to observe the holes in question appear distorted. I thought it might be distortion due to the camera lens used, so from a 24mm I went 120mm, but nothing yet the problem persists. The only solution I found is to make a bollean on a flat surface and then deform it with the transformers, so I get a correct view of the mesh. Are you experiencing this problem ?

[@polygonpen]

This is not about distortion actually, I thought about this too but this happens in real life too, curved shapes have that illusion, kind of.

[@giulianovaccai]

good, but still it is strange to find that using a deformer as a bend the effect disappears. do not you think ? Have you ever tried? thank you for your time

Notice how the retopology tool doesn't work well. It cannot identify the flow of the polygons in the holes and edges borders. This is perfect now in Zbrush 2023. I hope it comes to Cinema 4D.

Even though using Flow splines it can't do it right, so bad.

Remesh in C4D is better than nothing but still there so much to improve. Having loops around holes would be very nice and easy to programmer. Also I think it is very heavy processing modifier. Dude I started taking a look into Blender, better Maxon start to do things properly, the game is gettign tie.

how does compare to 3ds max retopology modifier in this user cases (loop around holes)?

@@orphydiancg7759 never tried yet, but compared to Zbrush, zremesher is better IMO

@@Ricardo-de9ju better than C4D version of it or better than Max Autoretopology? ANyway pls take a look at Arrimus chanel and his retopology masters series. The algorithm of it has improved in the last releases and its still in active development. I just wondered if in these situations when you want some nice loops around holes delivers better results than both Zremeshers lol.

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

​@@orphydiancg7759 I've never tried Max Autoretopology, but one thing is true, Autodesk doesn't play around with their tools, they do it right. I said Zbrush is better and gives more control over C4D. In Zbrush you can define where u want the edge flow.

[@orphydiancg7759]

@@Ricardo-de9ju but I see you can also draw flow splines within C4D version. Is that what you was looking for?

[@orphydiancg7759]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobMmZiHedZ8ecU Does Cinema have a certain tool or setting like this in 3ds max like brushing points along the surface to get them in a desired shape and not ruining the surface. The Smear mode with the Brush tool doesn't keep the surface and Slide tool its more like using the move tool and only works along the existing edges.

[@polygonpen]

Good question, as far as I know, there is not a tool that can do that but you can cheat it around by dublicating the mesh and using the polygon pen tool with reproject enabled.

You can apply the same workflow in C4D, Shrink wrap and Zremesher. Wonder why he made his videos private 🤔
