150 Free Jigsaw Puzzles for C4D

Hi everyone,    Today, I'm releasing my free jigsaw puzzle library for Cinema 4D (R12 or newer).    The library contains 150 different jigsaw puzzles, sorted according to their shape. All puzzles are based on photo references and 2D graphics images I found on Shutterstock, Printerest, etc.   You can download the library here:    Jigsaw Puzzle Library File   There's a short video on the library you can watch on Vimeo:      I hope you'll enjoy the jigsaw puzzles!   Cheers, contrafibbularities   Some examples from the library:  

Simple wooden gazebo

In this tutorial we are going to model a simple wooden gazebo in Cinema 4D. The object is based on a CAD model I found on GrabCad (https://grabcad.com/library) a while ago.  You can download a project file that contains the reference images needed for modelling here:    https://www.dropbox.com/s/njcfq2a0coitnox/WG project.7z?dl=0   I hope you'll enjoy the tutorial.
