CINEMA 4D: Putting Your 3D Model Into a Real Photo or Movie

[brianogotsit]

Is there any software where I can put my cinema 4d intro in it so I can produce video with it in front, vegas has not worked or camtasia? help?

[FantraFora]

i cant load the model in 3D!!! HELP!! FAST!

[SlightlyWetFart]

Nice tutorial, but wow does that rendering look like it's being done on a Commodore 64

[Riste17]

I want to ask does as you make adding picture you can add a Video?

PLS ANSWER!!

[kavi711]

@Riste17 Yes but if you want the model to stay still you need to motion track

[Riste17]

@kavi711 Thank you for your answer. So i want to ask you does there is some free program or some diferent which is easy to use and the most important, that program must have a option to implement a Google SKEC UP

files. This i need for a projetc on collage.

[kavi711]

@Riste17 you can motion track with boujou, c4d annd aae

[Riste17]

@kavi711 thank you!!!

[Wipeoout]

Nice tutorial :)

[Tokemon0]

This question is not actually related to subject of your video, but how do I add my model on my project? They are different saves and I have no idea how to do that.

[ogbunugafor]

@vercetty1000 its the same technq basically. only you'd need to do camera tracking with a compositing software like aftereffects, export the data, do some camera projection in c4d and merge the imported camera tracking data. BAM! you got your movie. I cld do a tut on it but my site is still being built.

[vercetty1000]

this is only for an image...where is the tutorial on how to put a 3d into a movie??????

[Sten2012]

I <3 C4D

[NeOnTeAm2011]

how can you use the figure in cinema4d?

[cgriver]

cinema 4d looks so interesting. I wish I know how to use that program.. By the way, if anyone wants to make $ with your 3d models check out cgworld(dot)com. You get an instant payment from your buyers.

[mrmisenakki]

God i wish id have 3Dmax... i have a mac so i can't help it... :(

[SubscribeToKiyo655]

@mrmisenakki is there not 3dsmax for mac?

[THDYZ]

How did you get your sun white mine in black help me pls

cool :O

[HOOKEDxONxFONIKS]

Check out my C4D video. I rendered for 30 hours and only have 7 views. Help me out please.

[LSphotoshop]

it doesint let me copy it it like removes it from the background plz help

[pixlo8]

how do you put a video in?

[3DSFuture]

How to do that in Max 3D ?

[SimulationMedia]

how the hell do people make planes like this ?

[ratedfx]

@TheRockondon Im pretty sure that this is Maxon's official youtube channel so he might get paid pretty well for doing this stuff.

[UNR3ALMEDIA]

Can You Get Any Fee Cinema 4d Objects ?

[MaxonC4D]

@UNR3ALMEDIA turbosquid has a large mix of free and commercial objects in various file formats inc. CINEMA 4D.

[AkimoProductions]

@MaxonC4D when ever i save a turbosquid file... it always saves it as .rar i am also using a mac so what do i need to do so i can open it on C4D???

[dj02tc5]

can udo a tutorial on h ow u made the airplane?

[ItsCallum]

cinemaaaaaa fowr dee. nah but that was a good video man, thanks

[happygamestvfun1]

photo shop is better

[OasisMods]

ehhh $2,000 program...

Nty

[RozBiefProductions]

@OasisMods It's really worth it!

[Jarvile]

Where's the 4th Dimension here?

[squarepushermeg]

@Jarvile animation, ~ time (the 4th dimension is time). modeling is 3d, animating it is the 4th.

[Brute55Valentine]

do u have the 64 bit version??

[xsjadoman1]

Is Mudbox or Zbrush compatible with Cinema 4D? Can you use 3D models from those programs?

[TheTiltShot]

how do u put it into a video clip

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

interesting...

[xZuunee]

I import my movie into a texture and then put it into the background and it doesent change? Its on the background layer but nothing happends to the imagee? it doesent appear

[UnReALGeARz]

i want to make the model a png file and import it into photoshop.like a render.

is that possiable?

[ironman2556]

did you put a photoshop image for the background??

[Dizzy2810]

So DIstrict 9 uses the same technique?

[FunnyMcBunny]

@Dizzy2810 Unless they use a different program?

[NLTxEditing]

how do u import movies?:S

[Que70]

dude, what about global illumination

[nikeyboii45]

when i out the background on, nothing happens, i render but still nothing =/

[tough196]

Maxon Could you post a tutorial about How To make an Aircraft ??? like this one ? if you dont mind :)

[squarepushermeg]

@tough196 jsut get one for free, browse for objects on the web. unless its for training, dont spend hours/days on objects others have made already. especially for real life stuff that has lots of weird edges and precise dimensions. like the trailing of the wings/angles and stuff.

[jpuscg2000]

I love Cinema 4d

[wassim407]

Please Could You Give The Work File (c4d) Becausr I Want To Work With IT And Lorn (sorry for my english) how to make a plane ..etc and i have just 4 hours then i downloaded the C4D and i dont khow any thing

[screenwriterOscar]

What's difference between blender 3d and cinema 4D?

[nfguler]

@screenwriterOscar blender is freeware, cinema 4d is commercial.

[Que70]

cinema 4d is a professional high end program, blender is pretty good but not as professional

[Utroll]

By the way I think you're wrong, Blender is way more powerfull but such a pain to learn : frigid interface with many common or usefull functions only available by shortcuts :/

Just check on youtube how the blender's included fluid simulator performs !

High end soft are Softimage (compositing workflow!), Maya, 3ds Houdini (rude!). Cinema4d is the best ease of use / results but not that powerfull.

All that = In my opinion indeed

[Que70]

Well the thing is, I'm just getting my info from other places and they all say cinema 4d is better than blender. Not as good as maya and softimage but still better than blender.

But one thing I am surprised at is cinema 4d doesn't have a fluid simulator

[DeanMalenko]

not exactly.. but did you see the tutorial here that uses an emmitter, connected with a small ball es the object it is emmitting ( so it shoots out balls).. then you apply a gravity object on it and use a "Metaballs" object with it that makes balls that are very close together join each other to 1 object. like 2 raindrops that touch each other and become 1. That way you can create something like water.

By far not perfect but hey

[Que70]

well i wouldn't consider that fluid, I know what you're talking about

[DeanMalenko]

yeah it's not really fluid.. more like a wobbly jello mass.. but as far as I have learned ( learning working with it for 3 days now) there is nothing else. I heard about "RealFlow" but I thought it's for other programs

[Que70]

no realflow works with cinema 4d, I wish maxon created a module for fluids

[Rimmerboys]

why is 800x600 the biggest??? i need to camera map for a full page spread (DPS) and that is about A3 and 300 dpi

[DeanMalenko]

because it's the demo

[Que70]

I'm personally impressed with your plane model

[GTA4randomnesz]

how do i put a picture as my model

[zurinok]

is that A330-300?

[NeoSapienist]

I didn't know the Gecko gave C4D tutorials lol :) thanks btw!

[NLTxEditing]

i imported a picture how i move around it :S and will itbe 3d or 2d :S

[bongobl]

@Que70 yeah I think cinema 4d is also capable of a little compositing

[gitarrenvogel]

Is it possible to add Ambient Occlussion or reflections etc. to that?

Is there a way of doing this within an HDRI sphere without just getting the illumination but also the shadows?

[bongobl]

how do you import a movie?

[MaxonC4D]

Same as a photo :-) Check the help system for compatible movie types..

[BesKeyBoska]

@MaxonC4D how do you make the plane look so good? have you done a tutorial about how to make the plane or any other thing like a car?

[Bajungadustin]

im not sure. but if i was putting a 3d object into a movie that i had i would want some type of motion capture software.

i tried opening an AVI with C4D and it wont so i dont know. i wouldnt know why i wouldnt open one of the most used video formats.

[MaxonC4D]

Check the help. There are all sorts of reasons why not. Codecs, video size, formats, etc. Help will tell you what is and isn't supported.

[Bajungadustin]

does anyone know where to find the animation short about a kid that daydreams about flying a plane and then wrecks his room after he crashes the plane in his daydream.

[bongobl]

@Bajungadustin, but how do you import a movie

[bongobl]

(reply to Bajungadustin) you see the 3 icons just above the 3d view? the first ones just render the editor view, the 3rd one is the render settings so you can set your output path, file type, etc. once you set your path, click the 2nd icon, it should be rendered/exported to your path

[Bajungadustin]

no its not... i found it you have to render to picture viewer from a pulldown tab at the top row. its freakin retarded and ignorantly named but i found it none the less and thanks for trying to help

[bongobl]

no prob

[flightsimulatorX100]

[RobinMoviesOffical]

I use the "sky" thingy to make green screen and edit it in photoshop or for films in FXhome/Sony Vegas.

[lukasnoisqta]

cinema 4d underworld

[gigacz]

It's very good tutorial, but i have one question. What if i need to put there a HDRI lighting? When i'm putting it in a sky the background isn't working.

[XShadowY]

But what will be the necessary step to get rid of the plane/ polygon or the background??? I only would like to keep the object and its shadow, nothing else. I have played around with the compositing tag and the multi-pass, but it seems that I always have to keep the shadow catching plane or background. I also tried to use white planes in the hope I could use it as an alpha channel in After Effects, but that didn`t work either. If anyone knows a solution I`d be very happy about sharing that. :-)

[domstott86]

nice one, been looking to do shadows like this for a while

[fjdp0523]

Very helpful the tutorial. Thnx!!!!!

[YouGotJakeD]

Great tutorial, thank you for uploading!

[stollincash]

canu tell me plzzzz.. how to put a movie or avideo!!????

plzplzplzplz

some one reply!!

[MaxonC4D]

What do you mean? Have a movie playing in the 3D scene? Or something different?

[stollincash]

yeah playing a movie and put ur animation in!!!!

:)

[MaxonC4D]

You mean a filmed movie and then put a 3D object in that? For example put a CG character in a filmed sequence? If so the principle is the same as shown in this movie, but you need a video editing tool really such as After Effects or Final Cut Pro. If the filmed camera moves you also need to worry about camera tracking and you need special tracking tools such as Boujou. The more the filmed camera moves, the more complicated it is to match up 3D. Search a search engine for camera matching 3d...

[chillboy4]

just put the movie instead of a picture into the texture line! It has to be a .avi or a quicktime movie! Then you have to klick on the little picture of the movie/texture and then on "Animation" and the "Calculate"!

[MaravillaMovies]

i already had figuerd it out..but this turtial rocks anyway..had some proublem with the pixel thingy =D

[soydenso]

mmmm alguien tendra eso en español,

jajajjaa

[jjjjsergiojjjj]

good tutorial, thanks

[starfighterAut]

thanks!!!!!

[fleshmannn]

Ok, but you can do this with video footage to create very nice FX (a camera tracking software will be needed).

[musicNYNEmaker]

thanks =]] btw you sound like a pilot =]]

[stollincash]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[taIib]

good one. helpd me alot

[mubd1234]

Cinemaaahhh 4D!

[lennypen1978]

hey does anybody here know why when i try and start cinema 4d it gives me a little box that says ok, when i click it it doesnt do anything, doesnt load cinema 4d

[fleshmannn]

Check your plugin folder remove each plugin (save to another place) and try until your software works.

[hbha3]

It's Very Useful Thanks We Need More Tutorials From U (LOL) :) It Helped Me In Putting My Video In C4D But The Problem Is In The Rendering :: By The Way Thanks For The Tutorials

[Johnnymoo]

Thanks so much for these videos, I've learnt so many new things and I've only watched 3 so far. :)

[ActronFilter]

Great! Very useful tutorials! Keep up the good work! 5*

[guidogast]

Could you upload a tutorial how to make that cool plane??

[MaxonC4D]

That plane is actually a model from a model DVD from a company called Dosch Design. They make a lot of discs that are very reasonably priced. For example the airplanes DVD contains about 20 airplanes similar to this one for about £70. About £5 a model. They're royalty free and you can use them again and again :-)

Of course you could model the plane yourself but I'd guess that plane would take at least a couple of hours to create the detail that you find up close on it.
