Tutorial number 80!!

News - by:
March 1st, 2007

The last tutorial was number 79!
I am happy to say the site has generated a lot of traffic.
Well that is about 4000 visitors a month, I think that is very nice.
So I would like to thank regular visitors for their comments and support.

Well now I have to make tutorial number 80, this is a symbolic number for me and this site.
For this tutorial I would like to ask for your input and suggestions.
Please write your ideas for a tutorial in a comment and I will choose the one that I like most.
Comments can be written in any language but I can only read English, French and Dutch.
No there is no iPod to win, it is just to get some feed-back.

I have never earned one penny with this site or with what I can really do with Cinema4d, I do this as a hobby.
Now I am thinking of putting those little advertising on the left side of the site. I hope this is not an inconvenience.

Thanks all, base80

    How better celebrate this than with something related to beer?
    Bubbles, shader, whatever you feel like teaching.
    And finish that tutorial with a little biography about you, some fun facts, how you dress when you go to the bar and such.
    :)

    I was thinking about beer too !

    Maybe for once not 3D related but real life beer drinking , like how to proper drink one ..

    Anyway thank you VERY much for the 79 ones you already gave to the community !

    Cheers !

    Merci a lot for tout ce que you fais pour for us.

    Don't write 80 tutorial :)
    Post some your 3D images or animations, someting like small gallery

  6. Craig / Slotrattler [Visitor] says:

    I like the above suggestions of a gallery, or a little bio. Whatever it is I'll be happy just to see it.
    Thanks for all the previous tut's, tips and teasers and the time, resourses and money you've spent in their production. You've helped me out tremendously. KEEP IT GOING PLEASE !!!!!!!!

    just wanted to say, that this is a great site.
    If you want a hint what to do next. I would say: do what you like the most, enjoy playing around, and we can be happy to get a nice tutorial.

    thank you
    Jops

    How about a solid HDRI tutorial...I have searched, and found a few but all explain different ways of doing it, and only once did I actually come out with a semi decent looking render, but it had the actual HDR image, shown as the sky, in the bg of the render, which was annoying. It would just be nice to have one solid explanation...once and for all, so that when people like me ask in the forums. People that know can just post a link to the tut!

    I am slowly trying to learn Cinema, but I have absolutely no time, and Im juggling learning C4D, AE, and Flash at one time, and its not working very well! I just discovered this site, and I will be coming back regularly.

    Thanks for all you are doing!

    I'ld like to see a tutorial on the Bodypaint module. You don't find too many of them on the net. Specifically texturing a dragon would be GREAT! C4D R9 is what I use .

    I’m trying to do something like de dynamic Phone cord that you post a little time ago. My question is, how can I move an object (like de phone cord) and another object (attached to the cord) move in the same frequency?

    One advantage of being an Australian living in France is that beer is cheep - and of course I like dutch beer. A nice frothy beer head and those little bubbles inside the liquid would make a nice topic for a tutorial - ahh, now I'm thirsty!
    Thanks for your fantastic blog Base - the C4D world is a better place because of it.

    I like the idea of a gallery. But I found the Sphereman wheels post so inspiring. I would love a tutorial on how to create something like that. Or something to do with camera rigs?

    Whatever you go for, I think this is an amazing, well presented C4D resource.
    Thank you very much.

    Yes, yes, beer shader!

    Thanks for all the great tutorials, I have learned much from them.

    I would love one on how to make and animate a rubiks cube with nothing but sliders.

    I must say that thinking particles come to mind.

  16. Stefano [Visitor] says:

    There is a impossible problem to solve with C4D: a object on a spline( with the tag align to spline) and a deformer (wind or formula or what you want), child of the spline. The object don't move on the deformed spline but follow a flat trajectory. Whyyyyyy?????? There is a solution? Or not? excuse my poor english.

    GOSTO MUITO DE 3D ESTOU COM VARIOS PROGETOS

  18. floe [Visitor] says:

    mograph would be great. some kind of a weird animation using several effectors..
    tp is cool, too.

    by the way, thank you so much for keeping this site alive!! outstanding work!

    thanks again,

    flo

    Thanks Base80 for this terrific website, i learned alot here!!!
    Although i wonder i own the cheapest version of C4D so no clothilde or other luxery modules for me :-( But the phonecord example would be cool to see it work without any of the luxery modules and purely on Xpresso, if possible ofcourse!

    Anyway i am Dutch and happy to see that base80 is kind of the only website on the internet developing tutorials based on xpresso! Great work love the things you done to it and your website really is friendly in usage and a treu value! Please don't stop EVER!!!

    Thanks for sharing all the C4D tips, I just added your link to my blog.

    I'm looking for a hatch/engraving/scratchboard shader for C4D to be able to create animations with this style:
    http://www.sprouls.com/
    http://www.inkart.com/pages/people/

    If I apply this as a 2D effect the lines won't follow the curviness of the geometry, and if I do it frame by frame I'll get bad flickering.

    I've found this freeware http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ that has a real-time OpenGL Hatch shader, but I'd love to be able to do this in C4D directly. Any tips?

    PS. The sidebar link to the Renderosity forum needs to be updated.

    Try the "spots" Shader (Sketch&Toon) Set it to LinesU
    Put this shader in a "Projection" shader to get more control over the projection.

    Thank you for all of your tutorials. :)

    Please, please, please something about the falloff expression from mograph!!!!
