Have you ever thought of testing out python in Cinema 4D but don’t know where to start? This tutorial will help you break into your first few lines of code that actually DO something and you’ll see that it’s probably easier than you think. We learn how to access objects, manipulate them, and then finally…

This is an update to a previous tip on how to mask objects in Cinema 4D. The update includes the tip of inverted masking which will keep only what is visible on the opposite side of the mask. This can be used to create some unique effects as well.
Want more control over your depth mattes in composting? In this tutorial we look at how we can use simple shaders in Cinema 4D to move a depth matte around our scene in any way we want using any shader. It’s a fairly simple setup but just be sure to either save your scene as…
Here’s a Quick Tip on how to set up a primitive to be adaptive. Meaning as you adjust the primitive it will adapt its segment accordingly. Check out the video to see exactly what I mean and why this might be useful. Then check out the scene file below to have a look for yourself.
Here’s a quick tip on reversing a cached dynamic simulations. It’s pretty simple to do but it’s sort of hidden away in different menus. The downside of this method is that it will reverse ALL of the dynamics cached. You won’t have control over which dynamics its applies to. Step 1 Create Dynamic Simulation and…
Here’s a quick tip to output multiple shapes with Thinking Particles. This may sound like an easy task but it’s actually kind of tricky. There are a number of ways to do this, for example it can easily be done by cloning objects on the particles, but then you dont get the Thinking Particles…
