Cinema 4D Modeling 01 - Bevel, Extrude (Inner, Matrix), Smooth Shift

[Murbishify]

How do you edit the bevels settings after you have finished with it?

[dimondlex]

You sound like Walt Jr. from Breaking Bad! great tut!

[adamlhumphreys]

@dimondlex He, he. Maybe someday I’ll be more coherent. And thanks! Some say I sound like a cartoon. I’m actually considering doing a video where I just play with the various nuances of my voice since it receives so much attention!

[dimondlex]

@adamlhumphreys hahaha cool, i'l be waiting for that one!

YOUR ACCENT IS FUCKING AWESOME!

[Paparuchas]

@adamlhumphreys Man i have a problem with the extrude inner, the faces extrude independently, I can't make them extrude to de center of the poly, they extrude to the center of each face. What am I doing wrong?

[adamlhumphreys]

@Paparuchas Look at 2:30 to 3:30. The Extrude Inner and Matrix uses the same principles as the Extrude.

Great tutorial dude! :)

If you don't mind me asking, how did you find all of this stuff out? do you use C4D at a professional level or just for personal use?

Thanks again!

[adamlhumphreys]

@AMagicWizard Thank you! I’ve been playing w/ C4D since 2004. Found several tuts & files that were a bit helpful, but simply using it and doing something is what really helped. All it’s use has been personal, but I’m hoping to use it in the professional realm within a year (get my UTD sheepskin). I know C4D is big in the advertising industry, but I’m not big into MoGraph. I prefer animations. Maybe I’ll have time to do a short of my own some day. alh.artspots.com/image/50100/s­word-sharpening

@adamlhumphreys Thanks for the info.

and that sword sharpening image is amazing!

Best of luck in the future.

Dude, your accent is so cool!

[adamlhumphreys]

@danielodors Hey, thanks! Some would disagree, but I guess that must be my Texas accent! I will still try to speak clearer in upcoming tutorials.

[ADIDACOD]

i can't get the tools to pop up. i made the object editable but it still won't. do you know how i could fix this?

[adamlhumphreys]

@ADIDACOD In order to see these tools when you right-click, must be in Polygons, Edges, or Points mode, accessed from the buttons on the left side. Check out my video “Cinema 4D Basics 06 - Selection Modes 01” for details.

[ADIDACOD]

@adamlhumphreys alright cOol man. Thanks for the help. Did u get my msg I sent you?

[VisuallyInteresting]

Hey man! thanks, this really helped, i'm just starting to learn this program myself, for a professional and personal interest...

I was wondering, is there an option to join extruded objects together to make one object? or is it just the case of overlapping them a bit and then grouping into a null object? Because on the render it wouldn't make a difference.

But i can see that being more useful if i wanted to cut a strange shape, i created using a spline, through an object.

Thanks!

[adamlhumphreys]

@VisuallyInteresting Thank you for the encouragement!

What you’d do is use a Boole object and/or the Connect command. Watch my video "Cinema 4D Basics 16 - Array, Symmetry, Boole, Connect, Instance and Construction Plane," at 3:37 to 6:40 [watch?v=0lnlLhkmz3s].

Hope that helps.

Im trying to set a key frame so I can make the object(s) transform - do u know how coz if u could tell me that would be great

and great tut

[adamlhumphreys]

@SeizuRexx In the timeline, right below the viewport, on the right-hand side, you’ll see 3 round red buttons. The one with the key will record a keyframe. You can also record an attribute with a circle next to it by Ctrl+Clicking the circle. To gain more control, bring up the Timeline window by going to Window → Timeline. You could also go into the Animation layout by clicking on the Switch Layout button underneath the Undo button, in the upper left corner.

Hope that helps, and thanks.
