Hey I am a newby to cinema 4d. Will it be ok in future tutorials to explain more thoroughly what each step is rather skipping steps which I presume are meant to be pretty basic steps. For instance, explaining that you need to make the primitive cube editable in order to use loop selection. Cheers! Great starter project for me to practice modelling!
Maybe try this: Put the play speed at 0.75 of Normal. (Click on cogwheel at bottom right of UA-cam viewing window). Slows down the video, AND the voice, if you can tolerate it.
Hi Eli, great tutorial just what I needed as an absolute beginner. As a complete novice, is there any chance you could do a walk-through on the rendering process and settings for the chest animation, my version is very grainy and fuzzy, not sure what I have done wrong but some pointers would be very much appreciated.
Hello, my sky load material preset is empty, I am wondering lf that a pack that need to install or it should be there already ? My version is r19. Thanks for your video,really helps me.
It should be there. But it can happen if you're on a stripped down version (you know, something you downloaded somewhere). The easiest solution is to just create a new material and on the luminance channel add an hdri image you found on google, there are plenty of them.
Quick Question... At 8:04, why does that other line disappear when you add the cut to create the quad? Thank you. I'm learning a lot from your tutorials.
The light blue/cyan lines are N-Gons. That's C4D its own calculation of where it is putting the lines you've forgotten to draw. That way C4D still has fake quads. You could consider it as a suggestion to were to place your cuts (often not a good suggestion lol). So if you make that new line, it doesn't need to show the N-Gon anymore.
Hey Eli, nice vid again and congrats on your 10,000 subs! If i may give you an alternative to the volumetric lighting. if you are using global illumination anyway, why not use the inside of the box and activate the luminance channel in the texture to give it a glow, this will also solve your problem with the light distribution.
Great suggestion indeed! Haven't thought about it. But I don't think it will give these rays of light, right? More of a glow like you say. Also I don't think it can be animated during the opening of the chest, but maybe that isn't necessary.
Yeah correct, this would give more of a glow effect like coins/gold would be at the bottom of the chest (whish i could post screenshots here). i don't think it's needed to animate the glow, but animating the luminance value's would be possible if wanted of course.
um what are those green lines that appear sometimes when i use the line cut and i cant dissolve them . they appear sometimes like i use the line cut they appear i ctrl z and do lin cut again they are gone or appear its strange . help plz
If it are greenish-blue (aka cyan) lines, they are N-gons. Just giving the easy and not so 100% accurate explanation here... It's the automated way of 3D software to fix points which have a sudden stop in the middle of an edge.. So it calculates an extra line without cutting your polygon in 2 already. So that way it can re-calculate with every change you make. You can't select them, but you can use them as a guide to make your own cuts (which will not change anything really, so don't even bother if everything looks fine when unselected). On flat surfaces they don't harm, when you start warping your object you will notice it gives glitchy shading on that part. As if you get a crease. You can disable them in the viewport menu (Filter > N-gon Lines)
I wish I could too. But it takes so long to record these. I don't speak English well enough to record in 1 shot, and I live near a military base so fighter jets interrupt me 1000 times lol. So usually I end up with a couple of days of editing after recording even.
It's not a beginner or easy tutorial, even if the end result looks easy. I literally explain every single step, even to the point where the video gets ridiculously long. I bet you haven't watched many other C4D tuts if you think this already lacked detail... If you expected me to mention each button I press you're just not ready for this one yet. Aim lower.
@@Dxdley Good edit. The original comment wasn't really true and even kinda entitled considering I post this stuff for free. Maybe a full paid course will serve you better. Hope it helps.
The original comment was meant to help you help others. You create tutorials which are meant to help people learn. Something you don't want as an instructor is for people learning from you to be frustrated and/or having a hard time learning and understanding as you explain in steps. "aim lower" lmao
@@Dxdley Totally agree, that's my goal. Never really had anyone struggle with more than just a step here and there so far. Not here, or on the MOBOX channel or at the college I teach at (not C4D). So at first it just came off as arrogant and aggressive with "hardest tutorial -ever-" & "-never- been so frustrated" in contrast with all the positive feedback. Hence my reply of aiming lower. But this certainly is the hardest tutorial I've made for both me and the viewer. So I understand. Certainly not something I'd recommend for anyone just starting out.
00:30 Step 1: Top part of chest
14:45 Step 2: Bottom part of chest
22:09 Step 3: Handles, Key, Text
28:31 Step 4: Lighting
31:05 Step 5: Materials & Textures
38:03 Step 6: Light rays
39:47 Step 7: Animation
50:06 Step 8: Render settings
I honestly did NOT expect to learn so much from a friggin low poly chest model tutorial...thank you!
My new year resolution to learn C4D from your tutorials!!
A chest of knowledge in one lesson, thanks a lot )
this is amazing! I changed maya to c4d now, this video help me a lot. Thank you!
Same situation but some problems with render

Beautiful tutorial. It was a little bit fast but I handled that. :D I have learnt some new tricks. Thank you very much!

So it's still too grainy with everything I've shown after 50:09 ?
I have learned a lot of things, Thank you. We want more videos from you.
Your tut is awesome! I've learned a lot about modeling from your tutorials. TNX!! :)

Can u enable those keys on the monitor, so we can see what buttons u r pressing

22:30 If you're having issues with the handles (like me), make sure you untick Create Caps. DOH!
lol.....I've been trying to do that for over an hour, at the end I decided to change the object, I used a ring and a cube ;)
besides the fact I've started today morning at 8 am to do this and I still miss to do the animation :D
Awesome! man. Thanks for these great videos.
I'm stuck at 5:21. Scaled down part with the first one are doesn't connected. Help.
Ok, I fixed this. I skipped optimalization before cause I haven't any extra point to delete. Does anyone have any idea why did this helped me?
@@ARmy2510 Optimizing the points gets rid of all unconnected points, but also connects overlapping points together.
@@eliprenten7066 Thank you! +1
Wow 10,000 subscribers!
AAA ♥ such nice work !
Has vuelto :D
WOW! I've learned so much... Thank you for sharing!
Welcome
Excellent explanation. I hope you will come back to the channel again to give us the opportunity to learn
thank you for the tutorial, i loved it :)

@@twistereli thank you for ur reply
Very hard to cut things with knife. There is no possibility to do it by "cm" instead of "%". I dont know why they removed Loop/Path Cut -_-
Which version of c4d are you using?
R19 Studio in that video, now R20
Excellent vid, keep it going.
Can I ask: What UI font are you using?
It's at San Francisco by default for me
Thanks. I don't appear to have that one.
Yeah I think that's the font for Apple devices only
It is, but I just downloaded it and installed it to my Win10.
05:27 how to scaling down this portion
in 17:22 what if i just extrude the four corners
It wouldn't be a clean model where everything is connected. There would be overlapping polygons
i don`t know how to use the linecut 03:39 would someone can tell me how to confirm !? Thank you
After the click press Esc on the keyboard
Which mathematical function u using in this treasure chest????
Your're extremely great. Keep Going.
Wow! Fantastic
Thats what i am looking at
Thanks for this tutorials. Please some kids animation related videos.
I love it ! Thank you ❤️
would try
i never knew what dissolving tool did thanks a lot
great job
Neat!! How much do u charge for such?
I love it, i learn a lot
good
This was amazing! Thx
Nice. I'd have changed the orientation of the bottom plane instead of rotating it.
my metrial preset is empty ? please tell me how to fix it
At the top menu go to Help > Check for Updates
In there you have the "optional" tab, where there should be file libraries / presets to download
how you delete the phong tag?
In the object manager at the right side of the screen you have an icon of 2 orange balls next to the object. Click it and press delete
Thank you man
cool
you are the best
3:42 how you confirm this cut?
Great question! Hit escape on the keyboard to exit the cut
Ok, thanks
Pls make tutorial for car model
You are amazing thank you
I like that ！thanks very much
thanks of clear content !
best!!!
Please do more tutorials :D
I'm in love with you.
please post new tutorials for C4D beginners.
Nice
THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
Wish you would upload more videos :/

so so so fast ..... whay
thank you
epic
The explanation is very quick and I can not understand the lesson
woodprix instructions is nice for that.
Заебись
ישראלי?
instagram.com/p/Bw7rHYFn-B4/ thanks for tuto i did this vidéo.
The hardest tutorial to follow I've ever watched. You explain little to nothing for what you are doing. Never been so frustrated. Explain more.
It's not a beginner or easy tutorial, even if the end result looks easy.
I literally explain every single step, even to the point where the video gets ridiculously long. I bet you haven't watched many other C4D tuts if you think this already lacked detail...

nah, it aint that serious.

05:27 how to scaling down this portion
It's actually moving down the polygons instead of scaling.
