NAB 2020 Tips: Using Camera Coordinates from Text Files
 

In this NAB 2020 Tip, we will see how to import positional and rotational data from text files, to use with Cameras and other Objects. For example, if you have data from a Camera Motion Control system that provides position and rotation coordinates, what you would need to do to prepare it for import, use Spines as data containers and XPRESSO to transfer that data to the Camera.

CV-PlaneSmart -  Updated Overview
 

CV-PlaneSmart, is a Plugin for Cinema 4D, that allows you to import Photoshop Layered files and automatically places each layer or Group on an individual 2 Dimensional card, and distributes them in Z space. It also does perspective correction, layer animation using Fields, and will make any relevant workflow, extremely easy. It comes as a tool and a Generator, which allows you to work in a procedural, non destructive way.
Title Animations, Motion Typography, 2.5D Placard Animations and much more can be made easily with CV-PlaneSmart.
In this Video, let’s take a look at how it works, and what you can do with it

NAB 2020 Tips: Rotate Polygons on Edges
 

In this NAB 2020 Tip, I will show you how to rotate editable polygons, using an edge as a pivot. To do this, we will take advantage of the Axis Modification tool’s pivot edge selection and the Modeling Axis’ “Orientation” parameter. We will also use Quantizing to rotate polygons by a precise degree.

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Introduction: UI & Scene Overview
 

In this series we will be learning how to use Cinema 4D’s UV Toolset, to quickly and efficiently unwrap and pack the UVs for Hard Surface Models. Although the Series is aimed at users with a basic understanding of UVs and UV workflows in General, if you happen to be new to UVs, you will still learn a great deal from it.
In this video, we will be setting up the User Interface to accommodate UV Unwrapping, and I will also give you an overview of the 3D Scene.
If you want to follow along, please click the “Files” button beneath the tutorial to get the project file.

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Splitting Geometry and Welding Edges
 

In this Video, we will UV Unwrap slightly more complex objects, by splitting them into separate UV islands, and when necessary, welding them back together later. This strategy will allow you to remove unnecessary complexity, and simplify the Unwrapping process.

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Using Pin Points to Control UV Unwrapping
 

In this video, we will see how to use Pins to lock down parts of the UV island, in order to retain its shape, while allowing the other parts to Unwrap. This method helps when we are dealing with complex N-Gons and also allows us to retain the proper orientation of UV islands.

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Unwrapping UV Strips Using the Peeler
 

When dealing with objects that have cylindrically configured quad topology, the Peeler is the ideal tool to use when unwrapping them. In this Video, we will see some of those cases, and get an overview of the Peeler itself, alongside some things you need to be aware to avoid headaches.

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Unwrapping in Realtime
 

In this Video, I will do a “freestyle” Unwrapping session, and unwrap a bunch of 3D objects while combining all previous techniques, and a few more tricks. In the process I’ll explain how we need to think while Unwrapping UVs.

Coons Mesh
 

The Coons Mesh generator provides the user with a simple yet effective tool to enable free-form mesh development by defining the four side-curves enclosing a region in space.

Usually found in CAD software, Coons Mesh is based on the Coons surface definition (Wikipedia) which requires four curves to meet at their reciprocal end points and defining the mesh vertex positions by bi-linearly interpolating the discrete positions across the curves.
Workflow
To adapt to user’s individual workflow the Coons Mesh generator can operate using the standard approach pinning input curves as generator’s children or to populate the proper curve’s link in the Attribute Manager

glTF Exporter
 

Since Cinema 4D S22, the glTF Export has been included as a standard Export Format. If you’re using a version of C4D prior to S22, please use this plugin to Export glTF files.
gl Transmission Format, or glTF, is a free specification by https://www.khronos.org (https://www.khronos.org/gltf/) for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications which makes it great for RealTime Graphics. The Cinema 4D glTF Exporter exports the c4d scene to *.gltf/*.glb formats, ready to be used across all platforms supporting glTF.
