- UPDATE An updated (paid) version of this series is available at www.c4d-fundamentals.com
This is a super basic introduction tutorial to polygon modeling in Cinema4D. I'll cover some theory and basic concepts and afterwards I'll go through the most important tools when it comes to polygon modeling.
This is the groundwork you will need if you want to start to learn polygon modeling and you have no or only very little experience in Cinema 4D or 3D software in general. I will go into more detailed techniques and more applied examples in an other dedicated training, but make sure to get the basics straight.

One important thing: You can do A LOT basically with basic tools: select, move, scale, rotate and CTRL/CMD-key :) I think every beginner should try it first. I still use combination of these tools most of the time for basic shaping.
Second advice: Find your tools and way to use them. Focus only a few selected tools and find your own workflows. When you "hit the wall" and don't know how to do something with your tools, then maybe learn another tool. That way you learn more.
In Cinema, you could do same things in many many ways. Find your own way!
Not only this series explains essential functions and tools of the software itself, the added bonus is a fare amount of theoretical basis that explains what these tools represent in reality. Thank you for putting this together so tastefully!
Best beginner tutorial series I have found after watching 15-20+ videos. Thank you so much!
I almost switched to a different modelling software because of lack of simple, basic and well explained tutorials for c4d until I found my savior!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s great to hear :D
its a little bit old, but still the best c4d tutorial
C4d dosent have a lot of tutorials
The series is fantastic and friendly to beginners like me. Thank u very much! I tried a Chinese course on c4d, but the teacher didn't teach u step by step and without detailed explanations and lack of logic. I shoulda turned to this course at first hand, cuz I can learn from u and practice my listening skill at same time.
Very Informative. Not only are my feet wet , but now I am swimming in C4D. Thank You for breaking things down and explaining them clearly and making this content.
Glad it was helpful!
You are a good teacher, want to learn so much from you. Why have you stopped making videos? There are only 45 videos. BTW I'm watching in 2023.
Very nice tutorial series in PREMIUM QUALITY :D helped me out quite a lot. and these are hard to find on the net. Good work sir!
Please do come up with more videos on cinema 4d
Thank you very much! What a stuff. I hope you can share again your videos with new fantastic fundamentals
Thank you so much Christoph! This tutorial series has been an absolute dream. Extremely clear, thorough, organized and helpful!
I really want to say 'thank you very very much' for you,
Your tutorials are helping a beginner like me sooooooo much.
Nice series. Tutorials in this quality (good structure, nice sound & video quality and easy unterstandable) for free are rare on the Internet. Thanks for that :)
Your tutorial is very easy to understand
Watched your whole series and I think these are much clearer than other tutorials I've seen on the same subject. Your approach of identifying the tools and giving a simple illustration of how they work is a much better approach then I have seen from others.
Id love to see to something on sculpturing or a show and tell on the proper approach to sculpturing. There are bunch of videos on building cars etc that don't make as much sense to me as what you have done here.
THANK YOU very much for this tutorial series. It helps me a lots in C4D. You saved my life.
thankyou cristoph! elaborative as it should be
These lessons are actually so good! Big fan. something i can watch and take notes rather than a step by step process
"Combo selection of U and I". Nice pickup line man haha.
Haha !
You are great teacher! Great pacing and you stay focused. Also, you don't go off track talking about general computer common sense topics. (i.e.. how to right mouse click on a mac.) Thank you for making this!!!
Christofph, thank you so much for the tutorials!!! I'm new in 3d software and you have made a wonderful detailed and user friendly tutorial!!!! Amazing job indeed 👍👍
One of the best tuturials en very professional presentation
Perfect
Great tutorial.. Never knew how important tools like the knife could be until now..
It's great! I've found here everything necessary for beginners and now can go further. Great course! Thank you very much!
Best channel I have seen so far, better than most larger channels
Albert Sitoe Thanks for the feedback! Next episode will be online soon.
Excellent teacher and premium content!
Perfect pace and great insight into what a beginner needs to get started in Cinema.
Thank you very much for this series.
hi bro..im new user of c4d. ur tutorials are good...really its helpfull for beginners...thank you bro...
Awesome tutorial... very thorough...and well prepared. can't wait to continue watch future offerings by Christoph
Well done Christoph. very well explained and laid out. I have been watching a lot of tutorials, and yours is one of the best. Keep up the great work and thanks again.
Thank you Christoph, really good tutorials. Looks like a premium product ;-)
Thanks Marc !
I really like this balance of theory and practice. Hope to see some new tutorials in the future. If you have any "pro tutorials" that I could pay you for, tell me. ;-)
Really well done, Christopher. I'm having a really difficult time with this, though. I've been trying to model the battery for the DJI Spark drone. I can create the basic shape, but all goes to hell when I try to bevel the edges since the major curve in the shape is already a bevel. So frustrating! I follow along with everything you're doing, but when I try to create this simple object, I just can't seem to make it all work. Very good tutorials!
thank you so much for this series so good to go over when you have been away from CD4 for a while
Thank you Christoph... I love your C4D tutorials (and your english ;-) grazie mille
+stefano salerni Thanks!
Wirklich gute Zusammenfassung
HELP FULL ,best explaning video i saw in C4D
THNX A LOT
Hey Christoph, it would be great if you could reorder your Playlist.
Right now it looks like that: 03, 02, 01, 04, 05, 06, 07.
Thanks. :)
Thanks for the advice ;) I've changed it.
really like the videos, hope to see more complex project tutorials, especially architecture and interior design! thanks for all these
thank you brotha
Thank you so much for taking your time in explaining all this with beautiful detail.
Best tutorial I have ever seen, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. April 2020.
Thanks for these videos, Christoph. Extremely well made and just perfect for beginners! Keep up the good work!
Great tuts man, good explanation and I like your approach with visual examples of what you're talking about.
Thank you for your effort Christoph, These videos are very useful and explanatory, especially this video. i am going to wait your next tutorial videos. 👏👏👏👍
Nice teacher i have found here!. Thanks for share Christoph, really good job.
Great series! Really enjoyed it.
fantastic video thank you!
Fantastic job 👏
This helped me tons!
thank you very much for your free and useful course thanks bro
Would you continue with these great tutorials please ?
Hi! i currently doing the exercise. im done with the 1-4th object. please give some tip how you made the 5th object. thank you!!!
Best material for beginners! thank you! Your videos are HUGELY helpful!
I hope I describe this correctly. FWIW, I'm using R18. When I go to extrude a polygon (like you're doing at 17:00), it doesn't automatically create new edges like you have in the video. So because it's not making new edges, I'm basically just resizing the cube without being able to transform its shape. So for example, if I choose extrude and push back into the cube, it doesn't create a void inside the cube, it just makes my cube smaller.
However, if I go over to the extrude window and click "new transform" (or make some other change in the options), those new edges are suddenly created and I'm able to do the stuff you're doing. I've been playing with this for 20 minutes trying to figure out why. Not sure if it's something to do with R18 or I'm just making a beginner mistake.
Thanks for your help. These tutorials are amazing.
Mh hard to tell. Make sure that you don't touch the Object-Axis itself while doing the extrude. Or try to hold CTRL/CMD and then grab the axis of your object an see what happens.
Have you figured it out by now?
I had the axis modification tool turned on. Holy crap that was driving me nuts!! Thank you so much for getting back to me. Maybe this will help someone else in the future.
I think you should do more of these tutorials, thanks a lot :)
why applying the polygon with extrude on bevel doesn't work?so confusing
Truly quality tutorial, thank you!
27.30" funny - I use the bridgetool in the edgemode rather than the pointmode. Ever tried it? It's faster. Anyway, good tutorial, thumbs up.
SUPER TICHING....... GOOD LUCK.....
Great content for begginers! I looking forward for yout next tutorials. Thank you!
Great work. keep it up
Thank you! hooked to this!
Your content is very useful! Thank you Christoph
more tutorials please
Excellent videos...even better than the official training videos.Will you be posting more videos on cinema 4d?
Real master 👏
Excellent work on this video. Thank you.
Thank you Christoph Looks like a premium...
Terrific vids! I am getting a lot out of them. Thanks much!
Hi, thank you so much for the great lessons.
How can I get the content in the video though ?
This super best tutorials so far. Please can I get the slides?
(fixed) Just curious, how did you get it so that the shortkeys appear on the menue that pops up when you right click? 16:58 UPDATE: I fixed it, this is how: edit-preferences-show shortcuts in menu
Didático, detalhado, preciso!
Excelente!
Thnx for this video
Brilliant video for beginners! Thanks a mil
(Best watched x1.5)
Christoph Doe, You are awesome. I love the way you teach.
amzing
best tutorials around, thank you :)
You. Are. Insane. Thanks for this buddy!
what the version you use in cinema4 you use
God bless you
Awesome, Thank you soo much!!
How to show shading lines in rendering?
Again another awesome tutorial.
Can I ask a question? Do you use a mouse, or a drawing tablet for modelling in C4D? I am more interested to apply C4D for scientific illustrations (e.g. biology). Thank you
I'm using a mouse most of the time. I have a tablet though, and sometimes I switch to it.
muy bien...felicitaciones
Nice going. I wish I was smart like you.
Thank you so much!
nice
thank you so much
why you dont want to telşl short cut.ı dont understand.
Dude, good stuff.
Awesome thank you
Christoph, weißt du wie ich ein ausmodelliertes Polygon in mehrere einzelne Teile unterteilen kann?
MAN THIS IS SERIES OF TUTOS ARE AMAZING AND THANK U but please stop sayin uuum every 2 secs ;)
I really do not know what to do the fifth model! What did you use?
you are teach very fast.how will we understand?
waiting for more tuts
woow
Hi,Chris . I'm really really thanks for you ! You help so much to understand MODELING. Can I send Email to you? Happy new year in 2018.
