• Now we'll see if we can create 3D Text in C4d
• We'll add a seemless BG and soft shadows too
• We'll add a seemless BG and soft shadows too
Additional Tutorial Notes:
To illustrate the similarities and prove that there is hope for all 3D users. Except Maya. Just Kidding, but you guys will figure it out!

I really dislike this software. Its too limited. If you kids out there cant work out AK's tutes for other s/w you'll never get a real job in the market
i'm greatful what you do man, i just feel some of these kids aint so, well, creative...
Second on the mind reading. Thanks for a great tut.
Your good!
great site though. Just ordered the full enchilada, bundle from you, keep it comin' yo. keep the C4D stuff coming...
Now you should take a little break.... play some Halo 3 or something haha
I favor Cinema 4d than 3d max
zdpm
Thanks again Andrew!
and i think C4D is better than Max
in Motion Graphics.
I wanna mograph tutorial in this site
thx......^^
It's me again. Just wanted to say thanks again for the Tut. I followed the one for 3DS Max and it was great, as also this one. I use both 3D apps. and I really like what your doing. Even if I was just using Maya, it wouldn't matter. Your teaching techniques that will help people across the board no matter what 3D program they are using. Thank You so much for your efforts and time that you are spending to do this.
Some of these people need to get a grip and stop demanding stuff and acting like babies. In case some of you have not noticed, "THESE ARE FREE"!!! So ease up off Andrew and cut him a break!
Keep up the good work Andrew... You are the man!
check this out (it's in spanish :P )

Thanks again
Extra Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.
by the way i'm from Egypt and living in UAE ;)
Thanks Master
Awesome doing this in Cinema 4d!!!!
Quick question... will you be doing any tutorials integrating AE with C4D/3DMax? Basically, how to use 3d models AE...that would answer so many questions.
Thanks for all you do!
Pablo Fassari
Awesome, thanks for doing this is C4D!
Quick question, will you be doing creating an AE tutorial integrating 3D models from C4D or 3D Max? I would love to learn how to use cameras from a 3D program and applying to AE.
Pablo Fassari
Peace bro
Cinema 4D is really beyond 3ds max! If you don
Ahal
thanks a lot.
Would you be able to create a tutorial on how to work with rendered 3D objects in after effects? I know how to do it (render out of 3D program with akpha channel so you have a perfect matte) but it's not a hard thing to explain but makes life a lot easier for people. Keep it up andrew, your awesome!

Thanks!
People do need to stop begging. This is, afterall, a free site!
Let the war begin kkkkkkkk
Joking...
I like the way you are making tutorials, I really enjoy them. Even if I don't have Cinema4D or whatever.
Keep up your great work!

I like ur camel toes
Just a shame that you didn't get to do the watermelon joke... BTW, what are camel toes?
Am i right in what i see?...3DSMax tut gives a better look and finish to the product compared to the C4D. I can see this difference a mile off can anyone else?

Wow that was easy! I should look into C4D
What about Softimage XSI?
Greetings From Panama City, Central America
Key things to take away from this tut
1. How to create text using a specific technique
2. How create a material for a specific look
3 How create a seamless background
4. How to create a light
5. position your camera or view port for rendering
6. using the ambient occlusion render algorithm

Fucking Cool
Great tutorial!!
Just started using Cinema 4D in the past 3 months. I have the text thing pretty well, i do have a question, What if I wanted to break the letters apart into individual letters and work with them as their own objects? How do i do this after creating a text object like the tutorial above.
Thanks
Chris
