CINEMA 4D - Importing 3D models and fixing problems.

[darKofdEcade]

can you help me how to fix not enough memory?? i how more memory

[VinnieVire]

@darKofdEcade buy a better computer

[darKofdEcade]

@VinnieVire a have better computer.. and its have lot memory ..

[VinnieVire]

(@darKofdEcade Tell me specs then, It's talking about Ram (randim access memory). Try closing other programs even things running in the background when using cinema 4d.

@MaxonC4D I use Alias Automotive to build models and have been importing them successfully using the .iges format, but my most recent model is not having it at all, it imports but then the model is no where to be seen and it seems no matter what settings i change or even changing the model in Alias it still wont come through... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

[georgestreetsounds]

Hi, I exported some models from 3ds max 10 as 3DS format and merged in C4D 11.5. when texturing some parts of the sofa for example seem shiny where others seem as I want them to. any ideas. I use vray to render. Regards

[iYaziRz]

hey ive got a question, when i open up C4D i find the screen very dark, unlike yours, like its basically black.. is there any way to make it normal ?

btw when i say screen i dont mean my computer screen, i mean the little C4D screen .

plz reply.. thx

[MaxonC4D]

@iYaziRz Choose Edit / Preferences and in the dialog that opens, click on Interface in the left list. Then, make sure Scheme is set to Light. Does that help?

[SeezeHD]

@iYaziRz you can personlize the colours its on preferences youll find it, you may have chaged the backgorund colour by accident :D its called scheme/colours under preferences in the edit tab :D

Hello, I'm new to Cinema 4d and I got this blackhawk model and I want to animate the rotors but the rotors are connected to the body so I can't move them without moving the entire helicopter is there a way to disconnect them.

[MaxonC4D]

@SnakeFang217 You can split an object into different parts by selecting the polygons you want to split into a new object, then choosing Functions / Split.

[SuperDnbx]

how do you import a nif file????never.shame that the cinema not support a nif file.

[MaxonC4D]

@SuperDnbx There's no direct way that I know of to import nif files into CINEMA 4D. One possible option is to use Blender to import the nif files then export from Blender as OBJ to CINEMA 4D. CINEMA 4D does support OBJ but you may also need the Riptide plugin, which has improved OBJ support such as import/export of .mtl files.

[SuperDnbx]

@MaxonC4D

i know i can import and export in blender but blender is so terrible for use.if i want to make a model in blender it take so much time but in cinema 4d i can make very fast cause its user friendly.i just dont like blender,its to slow for working.everything is on keyboard...the nif file,i need for modding the game(oblivion,tes construction set)and only blender can do that.if i make a sword in blender and export to nif file,then i have option to import in tes construction set program

[SuperDnbx]

@SuperDnbx

and take a my sword in oblivion game or make my race.i just hate that blender but also i dont like,that cinema 4d dont support that exporting to nif file.such a big program and not fully compatible.what do you say about blender?cinema 4d,z brush and poser pro are the best.btw ive seen your work in c4d and i must say to you its awesome!!!

[TaCzNation]

@MaxonC4D C4D GO FUCK YOURSELF

[EPICproductionsFTW]

you have cod4 models

[ZyxArTix]

hey make sure u guys add 3dr support files :)

[ReAcTioNzGamingPs3]

hey, i render it but when i go to find the file its not there?

how do i fix this?

[lkhamiya]

hi, i exported a dwg model to 3ds via (3dsout) then open it with cinema 4D, i have a big problem with applying textures, i used the BP UV edit -> then paint setup wizard -> and followed all the steps ...i can apply materials to my meshes but the textures are horrible on this meshes! (exemple on a cube from c4d the texture is perfect but on the meshes u can see the material applied on it but not the texture) u guys have a trick? thanks a lot

[Bjornargioortzaarset]

how do you import a normal video clip?

[Fusionicon]

Hi

I imported a 3d object but it erases all my past work I did.

[MaxonC4D]

Sounds like you're importing via open...rather than merge.. Use the latter...

[xpietjaax]

@MaxonC4D i have the same problem but im new to the program can you pleas tell me how i can fix this

[MrAnimator1001]

Do you have at in german?

pleas

[MWoody92]

yes and no, you cant export it as a .C4D file, but, you can export it as a .3DS file which can be read by Cinema4D

[martijnenco]

thnx, i see..

that like i really hard!.. because sketching in sketchup is really easiër..

[tarrizzzzzzzzz]

probably, but you can't render in sketch up...

[martijnenco]

i know.. that's why i'm glad that i can trasfer the file ;)

[tarrizzzzzzzzz]

cmon, there are almost no tools in sketchup, if you wanna design something use solid works, autocad or something like that...

i for my share don't have a CAD software, so i use Maya when i feel like modeling something.

[martijnenco]

i know that that is maybe easier but.. sketchup i know.. i did it a long time ago.. and i hafe to say that i'm pro in that.. (for sofar possible)

[TERRANCIO]

hello, im new to C4d, made a model, like a Ship, using cylinders, discs, capsule, now, How do i save it as an Object, so i can combine it, import it or export it to other projects, dont seem to find the answer, maybe is that obvious that i dont see it, any help would be much appreciated, Cheers!

[MaxonC4D]

Hi. To save an object:

- ensure that the object is selected (click on its name in the Object manager window)

- in the Object manager, choose File > Save Object As

To merge a previously saved object into the current project:

- choose File > Merge and use the dialog that opens to select the file

[TERRANCIO]

thx

[TheLewis1992]

ive tryed saving likethis to get my model into uv mapper, how do i save my model in the correct filetype

[NewbiePlayer]

Can I do that same thing with the FREE version of sketchup?

[MWoody92]

no, it's only for pro :(

[martijnenco]

can i inport a 3d file from sketchup pro to cinema 4d?

[574c3y73]

Absolutely delightful set of videos. I've spent the last two days going through each and every one of them.

Your efforts on behalf of the interested public are very deeply appreciated and I very sincerely hope you intend on continuing your project here...For I fear you've made something of a rabid fan of me now. ;)

Thank you so much.

[picajoool]

Thanx for the explenation :-)

[picajoool]

Isnt there a "Smooth" command that will smooth out the edges?!

[MaxonC4D]

You can adjust phong tags which can fix some problems, or you can put a HyperNURBS object as the parent which will smooth the entire object. But if the mesh is not great in the first place, the manual method described in the movie is the best option as it offers the most control.
