In this amazingly exciting video I go through 10 of my favorite hints and tips for Cinema 4D. These are all simple and often over looked features that I use all the time. From creating square tubes to a bunch of useful shortcut keys. Hopefully there is something in here that may help you out.
Also please post in the comments any of your favorite hints! If I get another 10 good ones I’ll make another video!

Thanks for the video. I am a couple months into learning C4D and I just learned a very helpful tip yesterday as part of a different tutorial, maybe it can make it into your V2 of this one.
I wanted to attach video to the face of a cube, but since the cube has volume the Ext. compositing tag doesn’t anchor the video correctly to the face of the cube when I bring it into AE.
Yesterday, I learned that you can choose the cube, select “Disconnect” from the function menu and then “Explode Segments”. After that, I have each face as a separate object that I can apply the ext. compositing tag to.
Maybe there is a better way though?
Hey Matt, thanks for that, its an interesting one. I think I have acheived this in the past but the seperate surfaces option in the cube properties. You then need to make it editable though. I’ll have a play with your method! 🙂
Hi Rory,
There’s only a few days I’ve discovered your website and i really like your work style. I am doing mostly interior visualisations as an interior desinger. I was aware for most of the tips, but indeed what you are calling tips are actually tips that you learn them mostly while practicing. Your other tutorial videos demonstrating very useful stuff as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 🙂
I will go for the bundle the following weeks. Seems a great tool to have.
Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful 🙂
Tipp #3 Putting an object under another works too. Simply hold Shift AND Alt and your new object will placed under the mainobject. So no reason for your workflow with the bend-deformer.
Tipp #5 Another great shortcut and timesaver is holding the strg(ctrl)-key by moving a polygon. It will extrude the poly and you don´t need shortcut “D”.
hypernurbs (subdivison surfaces) does not smooth the tube’s outer edges actually – the only working area is the extruded poly’s. (this can be seen on the video)
I have searched for this on internet and found the solution.
The tubes are created as seperate objects from their caps, therefore caps are not connected – so we should connect them by ourselves. Connecting is done with optimize command.
So the real question is “WHY” — Why are they not connected initially?
By the way – these are very nice tutorials – thank you
Angie, what a beautiful ca..lek.ove the plums on top and the streusel sure adds a nice top to it. Beautiful pictures as always.Hope you are having a fantastic week 🙂
Engraçado que o ano passado, o Vasco era mais time que esse Palmeiras, e o Coritiba parecia ter entrado em campo com mais gana de vencer do que contra o Palmeiras. Acho que dessa vez , me pareceu o time ter dado uma “apequenada”, mesmo tendo futebol pra teoricamente meter uns 3 ou 4 no Palmeiras tranquilamente. Acho que esse bi-vice pro coxa pode causar uma sÃndrome de time pequeno meio irreversÃvel no time…
Hm, the bulge doesn’t see as prominent in some of your other shots, but it is still odd, yeah. Makes me appreciate adult Fate all the more. I just wish Alter would re-release Nanoha and Hayate, or do a new Force/Vivid line for me to get them. I like adults. Though with A’s movie coming soon, we’ll probably just get a new bout of lolis. Though I may be able to score a Signum, that’d be nice…
