Were you born to teach? You know what I love more than a great tutorial? A great tutorial taught by someone who is 100% switched on to the subject they are teaching! I hate it when you get some guy who spends more time saying "um, oh, sorry... why did that happen", then actually telling you how to do something!!!! Excellent tutorial, excellent knowledge and excellent style. Many thanks!
my guy if you're still here looking at comments 9 years later, I just wanna say thank you and congratulations! this video was so freaking entertaining, fun and informative, I don't know nothing about cinema 4D and these 3d tools but it really made me interested in the subject
You are one of the best teachers I've ever come across. That's 38 minutes and not a single second of boredom! And even better I finally know how to use layers in C4D. Consider yourself subscribed!
Well, i realy have to say this. Your videos are awsome! Most "tutorials" for C4D are just step by step videos, but yours are different. You explain everything and tell us how to use it. Keep your work up. You're making a really good job there!
+Mrleo291 This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been having a tough time finding the information I need (if I hear another patronising repetition of "go ahead and..." I'll scream), but these videos are a gold mine!
haven't even watched the video yet had to read the comments first and i literately clicked the subscribe button without thinking about it twice.now time to enjoy a great tutorial.
Your tutorials are the best that I have found on the web. You express yourself so well and have shown me those little nuances that give the extra magic that bring things to life. Thanks, and don't stop.! Most of all thanks for sharing. Greg
Just watched this tutorial tonight because I needed a quick eye replacement. This was amazing. Not just for making an eye, but for learning a lot about how C4D works and how to get the most out of materials.
Some real learning happening for people here, not just instruction. Very nice! I used to teach CG at a local college, and I'm pretty sure you could take the instructors I worked with to school with your delivery (myself included). You've made something that could make someone cross-eyed (yes, I went there) into something enjoyable and straightforward.
I have watched a many Cinema 4d Tutorials, and i must say, this one is one of my favorite. You didn't rush through the Tutorial, and you explain all steps very clear to understand. I really learnd something new. Thank you.
Hands down best Cinema 4d tutorials on youtube you're original (you do different stuff than just shattering text) you make the end result look really good you explain almost everything you use and you prepare really good keep it up!!
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched. I'm an intermediate C4D user and there are so many useful lessons packed into this single tutorial, yet delivered in a very thorough and eloquent manner. I would have to guess you are an educator by profession for the medical visualization community. You are a master of your craft. Excellent!
This is SO much fun! I'm a recreational C4D user, so this just got my creative juices flowing like crazy. So many abstract usages!!! Thanks a ton for taking the time to do this. Very gracious!
Thanks! That worked, sort of. Haha! It combined them, but now all the clones roll corneas down. They look like eyeball weeble wobbles. I think I just need to mess around with the rotation settings. By the way, you seriously have the best tutorials on RUclips. Please continue making them.
Probably the most informative tutorial I've ever watched. The pacing was just right for my sill level, and I'm grateful for the lack of extraneous commentary. Nick Campbell's got some friendly competition on the way, and you've got my vote!
I'm not sure I have learned more about textures from any other single tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. The eye I was able to make looks amazing. Thanks again!
Dude, the way you make your tutorial is so neat and engaging. I love how you explain why your doing what you do rather than just stating what to do. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!!!
top notch mate! This is a very good tutorial, especially because you´re very precise and you dont explain the very basics which is always some sort of a pain in the a** to go through again and again with every tutorial. I´ve started learning Cinema some years ago because being creative with 3d and also photography is my dearest hobby and what I put much much free time in, because haha I´ve probably chosen the wrong profession and need that as a compensation for my boring every day finance nonsense. So all my knowledge about graphics is self taught. But back to your tutorial: I always had a bit of problems with creating realistic materials in c4d but after your tutorial... no problem anymore after I understood that inside the materials its basically working like ps, with all the masking etc..That really improved my workflow. Thanks man!
Girl #2 here! Just starting to learn CD4 for my masters program, this tutorial is wicked! Super easy to follow and since I do Biomedical Communications, totally applicable! Can't wait to show my class what I've learned! Thanks :)
That's great Stacey. It sounds like C4D is the perfect tool for you. Check out joelotron.com for some great medical renderings and animation using C4D.
Fantastic tutorial. Your tutorials are very clear and concise and extremely easy to follow. I find most tutorials are not very thought out where as yours you take the time to explain things as you. Thank you for making this video for us. This video should be used as a benchmark standard for others making tutorial videos. I tip my hat to you sir...
I enjoyed your tut.I was successful in creating the the eye in cinema 4D. Thank you.I have subscribed to your channel. please continue with similar in-depth tutorials. you are a wonderful instructor.
The fastest 38 Minutes I can remember - never got bored once. Great content, well prepared and presented, good timing. You can tell, I`m a fan from now on!
This tutorial was amazing. You didn't only tell me how to make the eyeballs, no! You actually taught me so many things about making a scene look realistic and cool at the same time. Thank you so much!! :3
How to animate the pupil dilating (without using Xpresso): This is just how I did it, I'm sure there are other ways. 1. Turn on PLA (Point Level Animation). To do this, click on the small icon in the Animation Toolbar that looks like 9 dots, three of which are orange. 2. Go to the start of your timeline. 3. Select the inside loop of the pupil. 4. Use the scale tool to shrink it down. 5. Add a keyframe. 6. Go to the end of your timeline. 7. Select the inside loop of the pupil. 8. Use the scale tool to enlarge it. 9. Add a keyframe. Done! Feel free to reply with any questions. Amazing tutorial btw :)
That is correct. Did I say it was driven by luminance? If so I apologize. I was meaning to explain that fresnel can be used as more than just a mask in the reflection channel, but can also be used in the color or luminance channel to achieve edge lighting (based on the angle of light to object surface to camera).
great great tutorial. the matirial part was just brilliant...learned more with that bit that any other C4D random tutorial. thanks a lot man. you sir, just won yourself a subscription
what an amazing journey. Thanks for the euphoria of following through step-by-step! I had so much fun making this and learning along the way. Explaining each step and effect and layer is so important for understanding! It helped me so freaking much!
SioPio, first of all i reall love this tutorial you tell it all so clear. but i thought of one little thing to improve it (not sure if it works): if you add a displacement to the eyeball texture and use the water effect and a layermask you could let those vains pop out just a little bit so it isnt just a flat eyeball! i think it looks really cool But thanks for sharing your skils with us :D
So im new, and i made this on cinema 4d r13 instead of r14, i made some errors here and there but i corrected them and learned ALOT more of this program then i would have in youtube intro/outro tutorials! it was so much making the eye!:D subscribeeee:D
Among the best tutorials out there, THX for making it :D Was hoping to find a tutorial on how to make an eyeball with Arnold Render engine but this will do just fine :D
Another girl (and wannabe animator) watching your awesome video ;) Thank you so much for this! Now I´m starting to understand how complex materials work.
I have to say that I just installed this program on my computer a few days ago. I am very creative and detail oriented, however, I know zilch about this program in general. Thing is that you, my friend, you have taken an absolute newbie to this and taught me to create one of the most incredible, beautiful eyeballs I have ever seen in my life! Now I would just like to know how I can take this amazing creation and upload it to my second life interface so that I can sell what you have taught me to create. There are very few people in second life that have mesh eyes available and I would like to be one of them! :) Thank you so much for the glimps into your creative mind! I am now your biggest fan and will for sure be following you! Now my NEXT project is to create an animated version of ME to use in my music videos! I do cover songs and would love to create original content for the videos rather than just taking videos of myself singing and merging them with other aspects in my Sony Vegas. I'm sure that's another day though. :) Thanks again!!! GREAT JOB!!!
Absolutely awesome. I did got a little lost on Render Settings, GI, since I'm using R17 and the interface is a bit different, also on a Spanish C4D version. So 'My eyes' lack some reflection, since this tool I think has changed too from R14 to R17. Anyway... absolutely great. Thanks!!!
Wasn't asking you to go to my channel, but he mentions that he's not sure if there are any girl animators here, so I posted a comment. Is there a problem with that?
;) well that's a shame if that's the case. 21st century guys, c'mon! With that, you CAN go check out my channel for that ;) And thanks "NeoCorpse" haha :) x
Felt so special, when you mentioned the one girl who might watch your videos.

seven minutes into the video and im already learning alot of new tricks and things i didnt know about cinema 4d
this is personally one of my favorite tutorials ever, it was so simply and to the point with a good in depth understanding of whats going on, 10/10
You are one of the best teachers I've ever come across. That's 38 minutes and not a single second of boredom! And even better I finally know how to use layers in C4D.
Consider yourself subscribed!
I have watched heaps of TuT and i have to say yours is the best i have watch...not once did you say to do this then changed your mind 20mins into it.
Well, i realy have to say this. Your videos are awsome! Most "tutorials" for C4D are just step by step videos, but yours are different. You explain everything and tell us how to use it. Keep your work up. You're making a really good job there!

Help. You're the best teacher materials youtube. Thank you very much. Sorry for my bad English. More people like you in the world is needed.
Hands down best Cinema 4d tutorials on youtube

and you prepare really good
keep it up!!
Amazing tutorial, It even worked after 7 years!
Rightttt he’s so humble! Great animation too
I think you just earned my subscription. I was searching for how to make textures in cinema 4d for a long time. You showed me how. Thank you!
I wasn't even planning on modeling anything involving an eyeball, but I was curious. You're a very good commentator.
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched. I'm an intermediate C4D user and there are so many useful lessons packed into this single tutorial, yet delivered in a very thorough and eloquent manner.

When u doing good tutorials, of course that will all respect you

very good use of layers in texturing
already off to a great start
令人惊叹的教程!这让我重新认识了cinema 4d，像魔法一样神奇且令人着迷，在这背后却是严谨的逻辑和技术功底！

wow one of the best tutorial i ever seen. You explained everything, what is not always obvious. And its not to hard to copy :) or to work with.
This tutorial was amazing.
You didn't only tell me how to make the eyeballs, no! You actually taught me so many things about making a scene look realistic and cool at the same time.
Thank you so much!! :3
No idea if you're still active on this youtube channel, but this tutorial was great. You're a great teacher. I wish you'd make more tutorials.
+Wait What Thanks. It's been a busy year. Haven't had much time, but hope to post more soon.
***** I hope to see it.
+SioPioVideos I'm so glad I saw you comment a week ago. I was afraid you weren't active anymore. I can't wait for your future content!
Is really one of the most complete and clear tutorial I ever seen. Me too I'm waiting for the news tutorials. compliments .
Please do. Give us people just starting out some good beginner stuff! Maybe some tips on turning this into a career path :) Thanks! Please!
Thank you so much, really great tutorial. Shows the power of in-build texturing and using masks.
Glad you found the tutorial useful. Thanks for the nice feedback!
In graphic design and working with cinema 4D right now, very helpful!! Thank you for such a detailed video.
This is still the best tutorial I have ever seen.
Will teach this to my classmates tomorrow.

Done! Feel free to reply with any questions. Amazing tutorial btw :)
I have watched many tutorials I have to say this one impressed me. I learned a lot. Thanks.
You helped me so much understanding the texturing process with Cinema 4D as i'm a beginner in this software learning on my own. Thumbs up and subed!
That is correct. Did I say it was driven by luminance? If so I apologize. I was meaning to explain that fresnel can be used as more than just a mask in the reflection channel, but can also be used in the color or luminance channel to achieve edge lighting (based on the angle of light to object surface to camera).
It's been a while since you posted this tutorial but it still rocks! Many thanks!
great great tutorial. the matirial part was just brilliant...learned more with that bit that any other C4D random tutorial. thanks a lot man.
you sir, just won yourself a subscription
Thanks been looking for a eyeballs for robot head I'm doing this is just the job.great tutorial!
Just know, that somebody somewhere loves you very much right now!
Absolutely superb tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing!
Such good texturing skills!!
Thank You So Much!! First tutorial I could actually go through without pausing! Great work.
Nice! Thanks RustyWolfFX!
what an amazing journey. Thanks for the euphoria of following through step-by-step! I had so much fun making this and learning along the way. Explaining each step and effect and layer is so important for understanding! It helped me so freaking much!

TheClumsyRobot was about to comment this but you beat me by about 4 years
SioPio, first of all i reall love this tutorial you tell it all so clear. but i thought of one little thing to improve it (not sure if it works): if you add a displacement to the eyeball texture and use the water effect and a layermask you could let those vains pop out just a little bit so it isnt just a flat eyeball! i think it looks really cool
But thanks for sharing your skils with us :D

Nice tutorial! Thanks from Brazil! S2
Another girl (and wannabe animator) watching your awesome video ;) Thank you so much for this! Now I´m starting to understand how complex materials work.
Great tutorial, great teacher. Thanks SioPio, I'm going to follow your tutorial today.
this tutorial is great...realy need to watch the other ones.
greetings from germany
A lot of new information about materials! Amazing tutorial, nice explanations of everything and also a pretty good voice for this kind of stuff.
I have to say that I just installed this program on my computer a few days ago. I am very creative and detail oriented, however, I know zilch about this program in general.

great tutorial. I will try it with my new C4D 15.
Thank you!!!
wow! this is simply amazing. im new to c4d and i'm loving it. its an amazing software

WOW!!! REALLY AMAZING!! u've just gained a follower! ;)
Great Tutorial! Thanks for the great job.
GREAT tutorial! Thank you!
WoooooW! absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot for the great tricks with masking shaders and all the nice details. Pls keep going :)
yep there's a girl animator here! woop.
Is that how you get people to go to your channel? Saying that you're female?
Wasn't asking you to go to my channel, but he mentions that he's not sure if there are any girl animators here, so I posted a comment. Is there a problem with that?
;) well that's a shame if that's the case. 21st century guys, c'mon! With that, you CAN go check out my channel for that ;) And thanks "NeoCorpse" haha :) x
Sssst. they can't know we're out there.
haha ;)
Very cool 😎. I'll try to get this done in 3ds Max. Thanks!
Thanks man. That's the best compliment I could ask for.
Tones of good information here! Thank you very, very much!
Excellent tutorial. Learned SO much! Thank you!!!!
