Dear Friend
I am using cinema 4D VR18
With V-ray rendering which changes the material menus options etc
Could you please tell me how to make this tutorial work in my version?
Many thanks!

[@phildec7859]

Sorry gk but I'm using an older version of C4D with the previous user interface!
Thanks for your attention.
Phil

you can make the material and then convert to vray material there will be a button in the materials tab

Easy way to do it, make everything with the normal Cinema 4D material and render it with Vray, because the steps for making it with Vray is a bit hard

[@yogi665]

How does it work with vray materials and vray render?

[@phildec7859]

Sorry to be useless again but I don't use Vray with C4D. Hope you'll find your answer somewhere else. Good luck and thanks for watching!
