Cinema 4D Tutorial – Create a 3D 3D Text Scene

In this tutorial we will take a look at building a 3D text scene containing some 3D 3D text. The original image was submitted by Andy on the tutorial for Recreating a Piece of Art. We will look at some basics of creating 3D text. Beveling, extruding, splines, lighting with Infidio Pro, a bit of basic physics. All sorts. Its a veritable feast of random Cinema 4D techniques.

    Thanks for the tut, with the bottom of the pin being disconnected you could just place it inside a connect and make that editable and that will connect the seams.

    In minute 26, you need to optimize de points in order to be weld and able to bevel the edge (the tool is Optimize – U shift O)

    Instead of copying all the circles I would have used Instances. You change the original and the instances will follow 😀

    Nice Tutorial, after watching I decided the magazine I produce needed a new Facebook banner pic so from memory I followed along upto a point and once all was modelled I exported as an Obj file this I imported into DAZ Studio some shaders applied and rendered using the nVidia Iray renderer, so wanna say big thanks as the new banner looks awesome.

    Fantastic tutorial, thank you…..but I need help!
    At 14:30 you press”C” to make the “Lower” copy editable, and you get 2 roundings and 2 caps.
    When I do that I it turns into a Null containing another null called “Connect” which contains the “”Connect” extrude and spline.
    What am I not doing right? I’ve followed everything to a T up til here and really want to continue! Any ideas?

      s’ok! I sussed it! Not sure why this didn’t work for me (version??) but I tried rt click > Current state to object and that gave me the Polgons/Roundings and Caps, parented with a null that I just deleted. Sweet!

    Hi, I just discover your tutorial, it’s great! I was wondering if I could do a test rendering of this example using Modo 902. Is there a way you could share the file? I am intrigued about the rendering time done in C4D vs Modo.

    Great tutorial! My first time here. I was wondering if you could share the file of this scene: I would like to do a render using Modo 902, and see the rendering time.

    152When drinking whiskey in the AM I’ve always figured it is not so much as the time where you are that is important, it is the time of day where the product was preducod.So no Knob Creek yet, however scotch thinks it is mid afternoon.

    "in other words polyph, you shouldn't repeat disjointed quotes from writers you don't know or understand, as if that was all they were good for."jkr, you're right in identifying your problem, and we all regret that you're not able to do that.No doubt you're working on it to the best of your poor abilities. I extend to you as much sympathy and emotional support as I can. Hopefully you'll be able to overcome this personal problem.

    An grasping discourse may be worth report. I anticipate that you can create author for this message, it power not certainly be a inhibition issue but generally grouping are certainly not enough in order to utter on much matters.

    Thanks for this tutorial, but as you said we could leave a comment, next time you have a polygon surface disconnected from the main object, instead of going round to bridge points to points, just select all in point mode and optimize, it will connect the points automatically. it happens mostly when you make a cylinder editable.
    Thanks
