Cinema 4D Modeling with Illustrator Files

[BurntTheZombieSlayer]

how do you do the all views thing?

[CamronWiltshire]

Thank you!! Very clear instruction!

[mmx327]

great tut. i have a question. how would i be able to make a logo in cinema, and then open it in AI and expand the appearance so i would be able to split it into pieces? any help from someone would be appreciated.

[hugoivanmunozpareja]

Fucking great! Thanks from Berlin!

[FreakyLetsPlayz]

You are only left! :D

[TheAEplanet]

Very good tutorial, thanks for great help and work! Keep it up :)

[Ronnae1000]

Does the C4D 11.5 accept a later version of Illustrator or do I need to do something different with my document settings in Illustrator because I am having a hard time doing anything with my ai file in C4D. It's importing but without seeing text layers, can't add colours etc. Do I need to flatten, Rasterize?

[xtraordinaria]

great tut and very easy to understand!

[MrCampollo]

thank you!

[triune99]

Thanks so much! Such a huge help.

[harshittomar91]

Can I Apply random effector on extrude nurbs For Example : I Want To Animate something like rotating ,scaling any pentooled thing so how can i do that ?

[mVelocityHD]

My left voice enjoyed your voice. :D.

[drnh4444]

This is great!! Love your tutorials :o)

[TeraJon]

great, thanks!

[completesculpture]

All good stuff and very helpful. What I'd really like to know is how you do this in reverse. So you have your model of a logo all setup and textured, how do you best get that out into illustrator .ai format?

[footwalls]

finally simple explanation

[G00BLES]

Wow! I don't even have Cinema 4D yet, and your tutorial is already making me feel like I can accomplish things with it.

Great job. :)

[gphiproductions]

Good tutorial. This has helped me out with Illustrator and Cinema 4D.

Thumbs up!



[TBaggingSince1990]

This helped me on working on my clan logo.

Thanks for this.

[annesmeets]

Thanks so much, have the program since yesterday. With the help of your video I can already do a bit of what I wanted!

[SIOSpawn]

side note: when you put down the extrude nurbs you can move the axis to the object before putting the object in it, that will fix that axis deal , but your solution is good too :)

[ssanthoshanimation]

Very nice, thanks



[GrClaudiu]

Super cool stuff. Great job.

[MrParabot]

thanks, this was very helpful!



[EVLAQXZ]

Nice tutorial, but is there anyway I can add a bevel to an illustration without adding caps that expand beyond the original vector?

i.e. I want to use an exsisting logo and give certain parts curves but don't want them to change the gaps between characters etc.

[coose08]

did you live trace it before hand???

[xXAcrayXx]

@coose08 Dont think he did

[LittleTron]

looking into playing with 4d, very easy to follow looking forward too checking outt he rest.

[LatinProductions]

do you know anything about doing thing but with cs4 and c4d ?

[bobieludnapes]

Why can not I open logo cinema 4D

[fernandesfran]

Thanks for this very useful tutorial.

Would be great if you could do a tutorial on your opening promo. I mean, a tutorial on the way you rendered and animated the 'GB' initials at the start of this video. Seems like a very useful technique too.

Cheers.

[TruThLegendPS3]

when i open it its invisble and not in the side bar saying its a editable item, btw i have Cinema 4d studio r12

Thankss

[jojojiji50]

thanks a lot it's being of great help i use vectorworks for to build the actual model and then exported to c 4d

[shroudedlegion]

Thanks for the tutorial man. Really helpful stuff here. :)

[laxattack1]

Oh my gosh your mouse is SOOOO annoying everytime you click and that red circle expands. That would KILL me. oh man. haha

[supercoolnoodles]

@laxattack1 it's only for the sake of the tutorial, so you can see what he's doing.

[abnormal234]

Why when i do this. Objects are 3d but the edges are jagged like mountains

[2migell]

I dont now why is not working for me?

I tr to do the same thing

but wen i apply the extruded nurbs it dosend fill it

thansk

[LPSlasher]

You can't do that with photoshop??

[GFXCrowN]

@LPSlasher

You can do that in photoshop, you make a selection of the thing you want to make in 3d, go to paths on the right side of the screen, and make a work path. Then go to export-> path to illustrator and then you are pretty much done, hope that helps

[SteadyAimGaming]

thanks broski!

[DerMarstein]

Hi man! nice tut, thanks a lot ;)

[TheColtstarter]

hey nice tut:)

I was wondering if you can drop letters from a fair distance and have them hit the floor with sand flying on each direction something like the ford commercials ..you know how the ford sign drops and hits the concrete and dust and sand fly everywhere! well something like that in C4D ... thank and keep up the great tut's.

Stacy:))

[elninox91]

Nice tuturial ... Keep it up ... I would like to know how to import many AI files into cinema 4D and use them in da same project. Because if i import them 1 by 1, everytime i import one it opens up in a new project or windows ... Thanks

[TSEGMProductions]

@elninox91 all you have to do is press "FILE" and when the drop-down menu apears press "MERGE"

[tvandang]

[shoedoctor99]

[TheSpambomber]

thx i subbed

[chadkaplan19]

hey, When I import the file to C4D, its just a SQUARE frame and nothing else... why the logo doesn`t appear?

[shoedoctor99]

@chadkaplan19 In Illustrator, ungroup the Logo objects and delete the outer border, and then make sure you save as Illustrator 8, not later versions, before you import.
