Twirly Render

Here is what you will end up with:

First, start of by creating a new platonic object ( Object->Primative->Platonic ). Under the object coniguring box, set up your setings like this (it will be on the bottom right)
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6...icsetup3ap.gif

now press "C" and select the polygon tool ( far left, center - looks like a blue grid with white squares outlined in red.)

right click on your object and click on "matrix extrude" ( or you can go to Structure->Matrix Extrude )

now set up your "Matrix Extrude" settings as followed:

By now, you should have an odd looking render right, well, from here, add a hyper nurb (Object->NURBS->HyperNURB)

now drag your platonic object under your hypernurb, make sure that you have the arrow pointing downwards before you drop it.

and you're done, now press render ( the blue vase at the top, or ctrl+R )

now it should look something like this:

and by adding a material, you can get something like this:

hope you enjoyed this, sorry its not very good, it is my first tut, please leave some c&c.

and if you have any question, post here or contact me anytime. :D

Great tutorial man! I'm going to try it real soon (once cinema 4D finishes downloading of course)!

Thanks for the post!

really thats 4D? i thought that was photoshop wen i first saw it... NJ tho it looks really different... i might make one and put it in a sig.

Yea, that could almost be a photoshop effect - I have seen many similar things ^_^.

Very amazing tutorial you made there dude. Keep up the good work!

Remember, if you like this tutorial, sign up with the forum, don't forget to check out our other tut's and graphics.

how did you color it like that(dont flame im new to cinema 4d)

That was done with a new material, im not sure how i set it up, just find where it say "file -> new material" i think. if that doesnt work, pm me and i will show you exactly how. but once you have done that, if done right, there should be a little grey ball that is in that box now, double click it and mess around with the settings, play with the colors, refletions, things like that.

hope this helped, if not, just pm me man, NEVER be afraid to ask questions.

Where can i get this programme for free? Or can't i? Looks pretty cool even though i don't know anything about cinema 4d

Don't say I told you...
... use ares p2p program, it works the best.

good luck... =).

Great tutorial. ;)


This is what I came up with.


Linked for bandwidth reasons!

That looks pretty creepy raith. I think you should have used like a lighter grey (for the render/background) to make it look more visable.

Nice job.

that good man, but i agree with taco, i can barely see the thing. but i m glad you liked the tut

great tutorial...Looks real good.

Thanks guys, I think the problem is that you guys are on CRT monitors? The lighting and contrast isn&#39;t the same on an LCD. Thats what bugs me the most. But yeah, thanks for comments/suggestions, and I&#39;ll take them into consideration in the future. ;)

Great tutorial&#33; :)

Man i wish i had c4d .. i hate not using my own renders for abstract pic .. doesn&#39;t make them feel as .. orignal.

you should really get it man, it&#39;s a fun program&#33; and i am gald that you liked the tut raith, i think you are the first to reply to it after having used it. only about 2000 people looked at it.

Hahaha....yeah, what bugs me is that people use the tutorial and then leave, they don&#39;t take time to post their results and stuff....I myself don&#39;t do that a lot, but this was a great tutorial and I thought I&#39;d let you know. :)

I&#39;ll post up my results soon...My computer has some crap-tastic ram and doesn&#39;t like rendering&#33;

http://www.imghst.com/uploads/pbguy4...%20Render2.jpg - There we go, I&#39;d make it an image but it is a pretty good size.

thanks man, it means a lot that someone like it. and pb, good job man, it looks great, nice a bright&#33;&#33;

:( I have it ... but it&#39;s the demo version therefore saving of renders is not allowed. What sort of a stupid demo is this? Lol Damn.... Good tut though i&#39;ve had it 10 mins and i managed to do everything ( fairly ) easily.

one about saving your renders, if you like them you may just takle a screenshot, it may not be as good as a true render, but it works.

do you mind if I use this in one of my sigs? :)

heck no, please do, it would be wonderful, i would love to see what you have some up with.

looks sweet, i made the object, the only thing is i can&#39;t figure out how to zoom out so you can see the damn thing....
btw: i just d/l cinema 4d, so im a bit of a newb :P

Yay i got c4d And bryce now , i would post it ... but i done it huge. I might make a sig out of it if i can be bothered :P Thanks

To zoom up or in use the scroll wheel on yor mouse. Camera options are in the top-right corner of the perspective box, aswell...

yea i found the camera stuff, but thanx for the zoom part (^_^)

No problem. For the cameras, instead of left-clicking and dragging your mouse. Try right-clicking it. Gives an alternative effect ;) .

cool tut ;)

sweeet tut

that&#39;s good man...
a very nice pic&#33;and the quality is also vary good.don&#39;t care it is better than a lot of others..

Nice 1 d00d...2 ThumbZ UP&#33;

This is what it came out as.
