C4D Cafe WIP's / Final Work

Stonehenge

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:59:58 +0000

I was given a couple of hours to make Stonehenge and show the location of a 'new' henge found by archaeologists. Nightmare!
The story has been and gone, but would welcome feedback as I now want to use it as a teaching exercise for myself.
One thing I am unsure about is how I could have scaled the stone texture to make them less 'bumpy'.
Thoughts?
Cheers

Flame Thrower R&D

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:26:36 +0000

Here's a wip of flame thrower I'm trying to create. Surprisingly sim and render times have been pretty low so far. Sim time was around 37 minutes and render was about 16 minutes on my Dual Core workstation.

Go to Vimeo to watch in HD.

Something Deep Down + Intro

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:14:43 +0000

Got messing about and created this, doesnt really do anything I just wanted to share.

I call this one, something deep down haha

And an intro I made using C4D along with AE to finish it off, I use the intros on videos I upload.

Im not looking for inprovements, although any that would make something better etc would be awesome.

Just felt like showing it off

Thanks

Reel / site feedback

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:22:14 +0000

Looking for feedback on my reel, website... I'm open to any suggestions

Would my work stand stronger if it was just a demo reel? Additionally, curious what one might suggest to work on in c4d to add to my beginner c4d repertoire

thx for any advice

A3 Mall / Office Complex -- Concept Render

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:11:56 +0000

Just decided to see what I could do with some solid wire-frames and Alpha-layers of clouds : /
I'm kind of new to this 3D thing, trying to pick up Cinema 4D from tutorials here and there. Any
comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated:)

Character Wip..

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:06:33 +0000

Been a long time since i've posted a wip...But here's a new character that i've started working on.
Only the head atm,but will eventually be a complete character

Pretty much followed the StopStaring method to start with and have now started to deviate on to making it look like the character i have in mind,got a considerable amount of work to go yet though...to get the look and to clean the mesh up
The nose has really been doing my head in,so please excuse the mess where the nostril joins the face and the amount of verts going down the top lip,thats next on my list to sort.
C&C please.
Cheers,
mala

Tied!

Hi guys!

This is my new project I'm working on, and this is what I achieved so far:D!

I'm definitely looking to improve my skin shaders, or I'll probably go with a proper texture later on, so I'll need quite some help over there.

Hope you like it!

Roulette

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:17:31 +0000

Few weeks ago I had to do video-ad of some online casino. The project was short on time and money, so finally it ended up as an After Effects animation made of few logos and photos, but the idea of modelling and animating a roulette stayed with me.
Here's the animation.
Everything, except a tiny bit of post was done in c4d. Ball animation is a mix of mograph simulation and "align to spline" tag

Titanic W.I.P

So i'm working on a project right now, and have been for almost a year now.
The reason for the long time, and slow progress is that i've started over and over again due to small details, or huge details being discovered and impossible to be redone on the same file, so i found it easier to start over to get a clean and fresh start.

The base modell is not my work, basicly everything that is above the black area, and a small portion of the white is my work. The rest of the modell goes to whoever made it. (If you ever read this; Alot of credit to you. Amazing basemodell!)

As you may notice, there are some scaling problems here and there, but as it is a really complex modell, it's very huge, in Cinema the total length is 8189.125m, so it's alot of area to cover.
The main problem is smaller details like portholes, doors, windows, decklightning etc. The attached picture is basicly how it looks at the moment. What I'm doing right now is just rotating around, going different angles, and rendering, saving preview images, using different background setups for the GI so that I can determine where to go next, using the images as a reference.

As for details, as you can see it is starting to look like something. IN order to get a high detail Im using blueprints, pictures from the internet and also Ship Simulator 2008 in order to get some boat-deck details like railing, fans and such.
