  Procedural Rock Generator for C4D

  Posted by Michael Herren on December 21, 2012 at 7:47 am

  I made a xpresso setup for modelling rocks:

  ::: Procedural Rock Generator for C4D V 1.01b :::

  5121_001proceduralrockv1.01b.zip

  You have the following Options so far:

  – Resolution controlls for the base object and the HyperNurbs Subdivisions

  – Size of the base object

  – 2 layers of displacement heights

  – Access to all built in C4D noise shaders for deformation

  – Controll the noise sizes and seeds

  The best noise for the basic shape is “Displaced Voronoi” at a size of 1000 – 1800

  Choose a small displacement height for the rock details

  For modelling use a mesh subdivision of 50 -100 and for rendering and export a subdivision of 300 – 400

  HyperNurbs subdivision is only for smoothing (leave it between 1-2) and gives not more details at high values

  Feel free to post any wishes for optimizing this tool

  Michael, thanks for this! I was on a quick turnaround project and the client wanted a rock wall in the background. I saw this and checked it out and it’s pretty darn cool. Really great job; the rocks looked fantastic and very easy to generate quick variations. You, sir, are da bomb! Thanks again
