Bought C4D today. This video is the 4th tutorial I've watched. Also the easiest to follow and understand. Thank you.
Such an awesome tutorial! I love it! Detailed and not too much drag explaining on how one tool works. Very easy to follow especially for a beginner like me. Please make more!
Thank you! I try to stay concise, especially on such long tutorials. Otherwise people start skipping and the whole flow gets broken.
I hope you do more modelling tutorials soon. Good modelling tutorials for C4D is very hard to find! Especially free ones :(
Thank you, I watched the tutorial and studied it
I think it took about 3 hours to make!! I'm so satisfied, thank you~ Please make good tutorials in the future
This tutorial is the best. Explained every detail and I was able to follow along with ease. Please make another one.
This channel is so underrated.
GREAT TUTORIAL! i started 3 days ago with cinema 4d and i learned so much of this tutorial tysm!
Thank you for this tutorial! Straight to the point, showed us so many tools and easy to follow. Please make more!
Thanks for the Tutorial Bro. Learned how to create it. This is the first model I learnt in Cinama 4D
Thank you SO MUCH, I learned a lot watching this and I'll check every other videos !
You're the man !
that alt+mouse function shortcut you showed at the beginning blew my mind XD
Awesome!
Thanks a lot, sir!! Loved your way of teaching from basic to fast after 20:00 with the same concept...!!!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, they're some of my favorite and super helpful (especially bc you take the extra time to explain the "why" behind your actions & give general tips!). Looking forward to more, plz keep 'em coming :)
Hey! :) I'm a beginner and I loved this tutorial and your simple but still effective way to explain the whole process. I started two days ago with Cinema 4D but I hadn't particular issues following you, I've learnt a lot! Thank you and keep up the good work, I'd really love to see more tutorials for beginners as this one! Please, make more! :)
I will keep that in mind when I make my next video ;)
There are 2 more tutorials from me, but on another channel. You can find them on "MOBOX Graphics"
Excellent tutorial. It Helps a lot to people who need to understand and practice the basics of C4D. Subscribed and liked!
Nice tut! Watching your tutorial makes me feel comfortable. Lovely music and thank u so much!
Thanks! It means a lot to me!
This is a very informative tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My only complaint is that you don't have anymore for me to watch. :)
Thank you so much! I learned so much from you and I completely finished it :) Now I know how to create the building, thank to you. I will watch your next tutorial!
Great tutorial. One of the best I'v ever seen about this topic. Keep doing more because u're very good.
dude. you are awesome. i love all the little details you share
Quick question, at 5:24 you mention to select the edge tool and press k, but instead that switches to the knife tool and I can no longer follow along. Any tips?
edit: Disregard, I just saw that you commented on the same question below!
edit2 : Just found an easier way to do it. First select the knife, then in the settings on the right, select plane mode from the dropdown. In the additional plane field, select X-Z and you can do it in one click just like the video.
24:30
"Or fillet if you want to act french !"
HAH ! Good one !
Pleaseee, come back! I need your tutorials!!!
Still hoping to get back to hit too, but in the meantime you can watch my videos on the Mobox Graphics channel
@@twistereli thanks!!!! You are awesome!!!
So great tutorial, I've learned so much from this video. Thank you very much!
Amazing tutorial we need more tutorial from you. Thanks you.
Thanks a lot for tutorials. You should make more tutorials! :)
You are the best! Thanks. I learned may things from you. You are telling perfect.
Thanks for this and Tutorial I made my first 3d 🏠.
looooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it & i'm going to teach ur technique to my Egyptian student, stay tune nd thx for this amazing tutorial
nice tutorial!
aprendí tu tutorial gracias por compartir
This was a great tutorial! I'm trying to find good resources of beginner material, specially on rendering and lightning, 'cause I am able to model things that I need, however I always end up using default or pre-made textures and lightning studios.
Greyscalegorilla probably is one of the best sites to learn that kind of stuff :)
Of course they recommend using their lighting plugins, but it's totally possible to replicate all that with area lights and hdri skies.
Great tutorial at a great pace. Thank you.
I'm watching this on May 27th, what a coincidence!
Perfect tut for beginners !
Really enjoyed following along, thanks!
Kept simple.. Thanks
Thank you teacher. It was great lecture
Super nice tutorial. You should definitely create more tutorials! :)
Thank you for your great tutorials, perfect for beginners :)
Thank you so much! I definetelly learned a lot with your tutorial!
so cute. Thanks.
Nice explanation tutorial. I liked it!
good tutorial by the way , your voice reminds me "Man on the Moon" jim carrey /Tony Clifton
thanks bro thanks❤
very good very liked it
So good!
I really like the taper effect at the end of the video. Could I persuade you to do an animation or perhaps a character tutorial?
Dude u are insane! Thanks a lot!
What a tremendous work 😘😘😘
THANK YOU AGAIN!
class, nice tutorial. much appreciated
thanks
I really appreciate your tutorials but I am totally stuck on the brush tool for the bushes, I have no idea how you got your results so smooth. I seem to have the same settings for the brush tool but mine is just grabbing points and pushing them in and out in a really unnatural fashion making sharp points and also making the bush look like a bone shape
You need to do it with short clicks and swipes. The longer you keep brushing over it, the sharper it gets.
You can also smooth it back if needed by pressing: shift+C and type "smooth". Then pick the Smooth (sculpt) tool in that list.
You also got to be sure the cube has enough polygons.
this is very useful tutorial for beginners like me .. thank you very mush bro :)
Thanks a lot! That's really nice.
9:28 I have just done the soft interpolation, but my bar is white and not black and won't work at the same time each side if I drag it? Any tips or buttons to click.
Sounds like you have 2 points next to each other maybe. You can zoom in a lot to check.
Other than that the handles don't move as 1 if you hold Shift, so make sure you're not doing that.
very nice thanks for sharing
Thank you
Amazing tutorial Man!
Thanks you!
Thanks!
Hi, 17:10. - you used “loop/path cut”. I can’t repeat to cut on equal segment. I selected the line, but when I moved cursor on “options” in order to change “Number of Cuts” the fields became blocked. And finally I have only one cut.
I'm not sure if I fully understand the problem... But it sounds like you're making the cut in the edge mode, make sure you have that front polygon selected instead (polygon mode).
So useful, thank you! :D
Great !! THANK YOU
VERY AWASOME YOUR VERY VERY VERY CRAZY MAN YOU AWASOME MAN
Hello.
I'm sorry for bugging you again. But I am trying to figure out how you duplicate the door without getting an additional layer. In minute 21:15 you say to duplicate the polygon. When I duplicate the polygon, I get a new layer, where as you do not. Plus I also notice a couple of squares pop up above the cursor when you say duplicate using scale. I'm really not sure how you do that. I even slow down the speed and I still can't figure out. Please help.
Thanks.
19:52 - 19:56 What did you say?
"Now let's duplicate the *_[unintelligible]_* shape *_[unintelligible]_* and drag it upwards"
...whole shape on it's own...
thank youuuuuuuu
21:31 when i do that it does not go in like that instead it's still connected to right and left walls :/
Okay so i need to hold Ctrl when doing that?
Yes Ctrl if you're on windows. CMD if you're on Mac.
Thanks but why is the Extrude and Ctrl so similar?
They're almost the same thing. The main difference is you can only extrude in one direction, but Ctrl-duplicating can be used with the move, scale and rotation tools.
The main advantage for me is speed. But also having control of the direction of your extrusion sometimes. Especially on cylinders you can feel the difference between Extrude and Ctrl, you can try that out if you want to see what happens.
Oh thanks man i find it so helpful. I am really learning alot from your tutorials :D
When I drag the two extruded rectangle into the Boole at 10:30 ... it is not subtracting them from the house shape like the others. I cannot figure out why.
Hm, many possibilities.
The most logical thing would be that your extruded rectangles are not overlapping with the building to begin with.
Another thing that could be happening is that you don't have all these windows inside that null/group. A boole only intersects the first 2 objects under it.
A last thing I can come up with now, is that you need to swap the hierarchy of the building and the windows in your object manager.
I hope it works!
Thanks for your reply. Tried everything and can't get it to work :/ imgur.com/y3tmxiY
New to C4D so going to move on with it anyway. Great tutorial, thanks.
Ohhh I see, you made the Boole editable. You see the icon next to "Boole", its the same as all other groups. It should be a green icon. When you make it editable, it loses its functions and just converts the objects.
So what you need to do is creating a new boole object, and put your windows & building under that one.
Happy learning!
Amazing, thank you so much :)
really good tutorial :)
please sir I need more of your tutorial videos
Do you have any more videos I can buy it
or I can watch it if are they for free
:(
There are more on the "Mobox Graphics" channel. Exact same content, just a different channel name
I have a problem with the yellow handles on the widget not appearing which makes it a pain to, for example scale in 1 direction. Sometimes the handles are there, sometimes not. Any suggestions. Thanks
They only remain visible/usable as long as the object isn't made editable.
Once you moved some of the polygons or points it will lose the functionality of these handles and you have to use the scale tool.
Hi, Thank you so much for uploading this tutorial. Can you please help me at 9:20 , I can't drag the point for some reason... so i can't drag it up. any tips, please. Mine C4D is R20.
You either weren't able to create the new point correctly or you're not using the move tool maybe. You can try if any of the original 4 ones do move to verify.
Let me know if the problem persists
awesome
u are great man thankssssssss !
Completely lost me on the boole window section. I drag the extruded windows under the booled building and they don't boole out the shape, they just stay the same. incredibly frustrating trying to rework this for an hour X(
There's a couple of things that have to be right:
- The boole must be active. So the green checkmark next to it, not a red cross
- The boole has to be set to "A subtract B" (default)
- The building shape comes first, then the windows
- The window shapes have to overlap the building
- And most importantly the windows need to be grouped together (Alt+G when you have them all selected). Because a boole only cuts the first 2 parts (A&B) inside of it. So I guess that's what you're having troubles with.
try my color is bruon for dfefault color object for me is remining to me a plastlin

How are you able to zoom and move the camera around if you locked it ?
Delete the protection tag or uncheck the camera view (white square icon next to it)
Hello, brother i can´t get the Loop/Path Cut, i have the C4d R17, but when i´m pressing K, i just have the knife, i cant press L because when i press K--->L, i just enable the Axis icon, can you help me, to get the Loop/Path Cut tool? in the R17????
I recommend using just the regular knife tool (K on the keyboard). Then go in a side view for example and make 1 cut through the whole building. Make sure no polygons are selected, it is set to "line" and "visible only" turned off.
Hope it helps!
In the bottum right corner you need to put loop.
Its best ti just make a cut in the middle of the object to get your cyt straight and then just move it with the move tool to get it where you want on the object
nice work ， but i don't have loop/ path cut tool , because mine is R16?
Use the "knife tool". It has some different modes you can choose from, also loop I believe.
thank you for you help
Amazing tutorial! But I'm having difficulties rotating objects after I make them editable. It seems that my rotating option is very far away from the actual object itself.
However i can still use it but it's not rotating properly. Any suggestions?
Correct. The axis remains in the original position, but when moving points and polygons they may get further away from that axis.
Easiest & quickest fix is to select the objects > press Shift+C > Type "center axis to" and hit Enter.
@@eliprenten7066 Great. Thank you!
If material apply to objects, I can't see any change in rendering window ㅜㅜ
Opps, It was for the Domestica add. co
So nice) Thanks for tutor)
So... you can't extrude polygons with C4D lite??
Never mind. I figured it out. It was a bit obvious if you're familiar somewhat familiar with the program. Sorry.
No problem, glad you figured it out!
I'm using R16. At 5:40, mine do not have the 'Loop/Path Cut' tool. There's only 'knife' tool. Is there other way to fix and make the loop points straight?
2 options I would advice:
(As Bryan mentioned in the comments here):
"First select the knife, then in the settings on the right, select plane mode from the dropdown. In the additional plane field, select X-Z and you can do it in one click just like the video."
or
Use the regular knife tool (line cut). Deselect "visible only" so it cuts all the way through and make a cut in one of the side views. You can hold Shift to make it go straight.
Thank you very much! Sorry for not noticing that in the comment section earlier!
No problem! It takes some digging to find it ;)
Twistereli thanks for the advice! but then when using the knife tool in plane mode, how can i adjust the distance so that the new polygons i'm making are the same size above and below?
That would not be possible to do 100% exact with this method.
1 more alternative I can provide is actually using the "slide" tool (right click > slide).
You can do that when you're in the edge mode and select that ring of lines which you would like to have a 2nd copy of. If you have the "clone" option turned on you can use the offset slider to set the exact distance like in the video.
how do i dublicate with the scale tool??
Hold CTRL when click+dragging
okay so a few little questions if anyone can help im new
1. i dont have the little yellow notches to drag the shapes to any size
Dont worry i figured it out i didnt have object selected lol
2. if i press K i get the knife tool
still stuck on this one though
can someone please help me?
Im using
Cinema 4D R13.061
Thank you
The older versions like R13 have a limited version of the knife tool. It should have some options for it at the bottom right window. The dropdown may show something like a "plane" mode. Not 100% sure what it is like on R13
I love your tutorials but you sometimes forget to mention you are grouping objects. Also, you didn’t mention how to get to “point mode.”
Finally, when doing windows and doors, The objects flatten out after rotating 90 degrees. They appear 3D after extruding, but when turned to 90 degrees, they flatten out. How do I resolve that? Have you had that problem?
Again, your tutorials are awesome. So pls don’t be offended by my question. I am a graphic designer and always wanted to learn a 3D program.
Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. The point mode can be accessed at the left side of your screen, just in case you haven't found it yet.
For the extrusions that are flattening out, it is most likely because you rotate the object called "rectangle" that is inside of your extrude object. You need to rotate your whole extrude object on its own. I hope that makes sense to you.
Sir, first I want to thank you for your quick response. I'm truly impressed with your genuine interest in helping a fellow designer. So thank you for that.
Yes. That helped a lot. I was rotating the door/window object separately from the extrusion . You nailed it. However, I have not been able to figure out how to "isolate" the Object to (point mode) like you do in the video at 11:42.
Thank you.
With that "rectangle" object still selected, you click on the button on the left that looks like a cube with 2 orange dots on it. I click it (fast) on 11:39 to 11:40
What hot key to loop selection?
K and then L on recent versions of C4D
@@twistereli thanks
Can I follow this tutorial with Cinema 4D Lite??
No, you will not get to do most things shown in the video. Sorry to tell you that.
Somehow in R16 i cant get the physical sky to work the same way, with the same brightness or color, i dont know what i'm doing wrong :(
Have you tried downloading my file from the description and see if it works with that one?
Hey i was just looking at your dribbble profile and was wondering what and interaction designer is?
Interaction design is mostly what people know as UI & UX. But at my education there was also a portion of motion graphics, game design and 3D in it, that's why I'm also doing these kind of videos now.
Dear Friend I want the size of the door
I recommend downloading my .c4d file in the description. There you can see the exact door of the video.
I dont have the Edge loop cut tool :( Just the Knife :(
Don't worry, it may work just a little different, but you can change the mode of you knife tool. I think there is even a loop mode in it. You can do that at the bottom right corner of your screen when using the knife tool.
Good luck!
Oh okay thanks :D
Which Cinema 4D version do you use ?
R18
