Merging geometry
I recently watched a Maya tutorial and I saw something really time saving so I thought to check it out if I could do it in C4D.
Lets say I create a plate with tons of small details on it and then I would like to apply it on top of my model to add those details without remove any geometry from my existing model. I think he was talking about baking geometry but Im not sure. However when I tired to do it in C4D I could not make it work.
How would you solve it?

Not sure what you’re describing. Do you have a link to the Maya tutorial?

Let me show you an image and explain it again.

I want to add high poly image on low poly geometry. That would give me opportunity to copy different hight poly models on low poly model to add more details. I don’t want to make holes, weld them and so on. I just want to put them on the top and merge them together and keep nice topology. Is it possible?

Sounds like you might want something like this plugin: https://lesterbanks.com/2012/05/using-the-greebler-plugin-for-cinema-4d/

Yes, Greebler is great piece of software that helps you to add random details to your scene.
It was not really what I had in my mind. I was asking how to merge together geometry on the top on another geometry without removing or welding polygons. If you look att the link with screenshoot i posted in the earlier message there is high poly plate and just the cube. I want to add that plate on the top on the cube and merge them together in one piece of geometry.

I was thinking that Greebler may be able to do what you’re looking for since you can add your own custom greebles, but maybe not.
The only other thing I can think of is FusionThing, but I don’t know if it’s supported after R13: https://www.lotsofpixels.com/c4dplugins/fusionThing/
