  • Real New to C4D, Unwrap and texture advice?

    Posted by Tim Prata on August 7, 2011 at 11:14 pm

    Hello all!
    I’m pretty new to Cinema 4D, though I am pretty well versed in 3DS Max and learning Maya as well, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for some help unwrapping with Cinema 4D. I have done some simple shaders and basics off of some great tutorials, but if I want to add a different texture to say, a capped part of an extruded spline, it seems impossible for me! Can anyone point me in the right direction of a tutorial or some simple ways of helping me out?

    I would greatly appreciate it and I am going to be frequenting this site more often to give any tips I have picked up as well! Thanks!

    You have to go into UV Edit mode to unwrap objects. I just made a tutorial a few days ago dealing with this very subject. I end up going into After Effects and applying a video texture to the object in the tutorial, but you could just as easily bring the texture map into Photoshop after you save it and paint on to your object there.
