C4D Render Tutorial

Well, I'm not sure if it's good enough to post, but I though the render I got from this was nice, so I made a tutorial.

(I'm using C4D 9, by the way.) After each step is an image of what the result of the step is. (Or just what you have to do.)

1. Open C4D, and press F5. You should now have 4 windows instead of one.

2. Use tool now. In each of the windows except for the top-left one, draw a line about 2 boxes long. (I've outlined how you should draw your lines if you want to get my result.)

3. Press F1. This will take away the extra 3 windows. (I won't give an image for this because it's self explanatory.)

4. Make a "loft nurb". It looks like . (It's the one highlighted.) Now, drag your 3 splines under the loft nurb. You should now have a 3D object.

5. Now, click on the loft nurb and press C. This will merge all the splines into one object.

6. Now click on the . Click on your object if it isn't selected already. Now go to structure > matrix extrude . For matrix extrude enter and click "apply".

7. Rotate your image until you find a view you like using . (You don't have to do this if you already like the view you started with.)

8. Now you just have to add hyper nurbs to your object. () It should look much better now. You're done!



You can also add materials to make it look better.

By the way, you don't have to use the settings that I gave you. In fact, don't use them at all. You can get some really cool things if you experiment using the basic steps here, but with different settings.

For example: this was what I got one time:
