You are a legend mate. As soon as I finished it I thought, "Wow thats a lot of cool new information I can use... But I've forgotten it all" haha. But this list helped me straight away!! :)
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Duke Gregory Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I love the simplicity of your tutorials. It's something very important for beginners like me. Your art style also makes it very interesting to watch, even if the viewer does't actually work with 3D. You're doing great! Keep going! :)
Holy shit bro, you just made my life easier for a project I'm doing. A freaking 10 sec sequence rendering last a freaking day, I'll use this tips to speed things up. Thanks a lot!
Excellent tutorial. Can you make more of these videos which go into lighting characters like the one you see on Pinterest! I am specifically talking about the plasticky (and tubular hands and legs) character renders with those lovely-looking diffuse renders. Thanx!
Hey Twistereli Please tell me at 7:58 you mentioned that Load Material Preset But in C4D r19 I didn't find anything in it's preset it displaying empty .? where from download or install those presets ?
Hi Twistereli. i saw ur Global illumanation alteranative and it's too good for fast render. please tell us if you know about how render occ faster in cinema 4D ?
Hey Bro! I have some Issues with Preference in Cinema 4D R19. When I Click the Preferences In Edit. It Stucks, Not Responding. Even tho I Reinstalled It, Didn't Works. How to Fix this Problem?
wow, I have now watched all your tutorials and I love your style and the way you explain things. Awesome. A continuous problem I have with C4D is that the tools in many cases don't work the way I expect them to. i.e. I want to extrude a circle on a path. Whenever you do it it works, whenever I do it it is not working coz I don't end up with a tube but with a flat surface, then I try to rotate the circle but it is not changing anything. Or I want to build a turbine so I model one blade and want to repeat it around an axis but it is repeating it in some strange way. I am facing these kinds of problems all the time and it is driving me nuts. Maybe you can address it some day. Another thing I would like to learn is how to bring photorealism into the rendering. That's a wide field of course and I am not talking about Jurassic Park but simple things. A loaf of bread, a plant, a chair, a lamp something like this. thx I really enjoy your work. please continue.
Hi! Thank you for the kind comment! Photorealism is something I'm also still learning. For some things it is easy, other things need tons of work to get it somewhat convincing. I recognize the kind of problems you're seeing with tools in C4D. Yesterday I was recording something and had to start over 5 times because I forgot to uncheck "create caps" in the extrude tool. It messed up everything. The extrusion on your circle is going in the wrong direction, nearly always happens btw. With the extrude object you have 3 values/directions it extrudes on. The 3rd one is set to 20cm by default. Get rid of that and try one of the first 2. The turbine blades their axis can be adjusted under the transform tab of your Cloner object. Play around with some values and you'll see what works. I know it's kind of vague when I just type it out, but I hope it helps.
It depends on how much light there already is in your scene and how bright your colors are. So sometimes everything feels a bit too dark and you should bump it up to 2 or something close to that to compensate. It's mainly about personal preference, how bright or dark you like it.
It's kind of like an advanced brightness&contrast setting. Decreasing gamma makes dark areas lighter and light areas darker. Increasing gamma makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter.
Do you maybe know about a book or something like that which teach C4D? I want to get started use this software but I don’t know how to use it. I know you have some tutorials about specific models to build on C4D but I’m looking for a comprehensive guide. Thanks in advance for your help :)
I haven't read a book on it myself. Videos are probably the clearest way to learn C4D. But I understand your desire to learn about the why and how of certain things. For that I suggest using the C4D help function like shown at 7:08 in the video. That's basically the interactive manual made by Maxon. At the left of the window you can see the whole contents.
Twistereli OK. Thanks for advance on your time. Do you going to do in the future some guides about using the software herself? I mean, to do a more guide about C4D.
Oh no I'm absolutely not, but thanks for the compliment! I learned it by being forced to make a big project in it. I followed some basic tutorials (mostly from Mt.Mograph & Greyscalegorilla) and then just googled every problem I came across in my own projects.
Definitely trying! The problem with these large tutorials is they take so much time to make. Unfortunately it is not just the 40 minutes of recording for me, 1 video usually has about 6-8 hours of work in them. Let me know if you have any topics you would like a tutorial on.

Hey Twistereli
Please tell me

In C4D if you go to "Help" > "Check for updates" you get a window where you can download many resource packs in the "Optional" tab. Enjoy!
yeah found it Thanks
your logo/intro is really cool. short, easy and cool :) (and good fitting sound)
Thank you so much man !

again I am just a beginner. I record so softsetups and a Microkorg, even use it as a midi keyboard. But the problem arrives with content
Thank you for your time :).
May I know why sometime you use Gamma as 1 (linear?) and sometime as 2.2?
It depends on how much light there already is in your scene and how bright your colors are. So sometimes everything feels a bit too dark and you should bump it up to 2 or something close to that to compensate.
It's mainly about personal preference, how bright or dark you like it.
Thanks, so it doesn't depend on realism. Like for physically accurate renders or while using PBR?
It's kind of like an advanced brightness&contrast setting. Decreasing gamma makes dark areas lighter and light areas darker. Increasing gamma makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter.

Twistereli WOW. According to your models on the videos it’s look like you are a professional on C4D. Where did you learn to use this software?
Oh no I'm absolutely not, but thanks for the compliment!

To be honest I have been planning such thing for a while now. Basically a series of modeling furniture etc so you can assemble your own rooms.
