Cinema 4D Tutorial: How To Make A Nut Chocolate Fluid Ad

How To Make A Nut Chocolate Fluid Ad With Cinema 4D

This time the best render farm and leading cloud rendering services provider in the CG industry, Fox Renderfarm, will bring you a Cinema 4D tutorial on how to use C4D to make nut chocolate fluid ads. This sharing comes from 3D artist Qixi, who will explain in depth the production process of a chocolate and almond scene. I hope it can help beginners who step into the CG industry understand the use of C4D. Since this scene is just for making still-frame works, there are many things that don’t need to be considered too much, as long as the picture looks reasonable.

Modeling

Before making, I first searched for some pictures of nuts on the Internet, and then found a positive picture of nuts, and then used Mesh/Polygon Pen for topology modeling. When making, I need to pay attention to keeping the model as quadrilateral as possible. The surface (triangular surface will cause many problems in the later production).

First, make the upper half of the model, adjust it slightly, and then use the subdivision surface. The arc shape is to draw an arc upward by adjusting the edge. Try to keep the shape similar to the reference picture.

Use the Symmetry tool, and then complete the nut model. Because the shape of the nut is very simple and there are not many tools used to make it, this step should be easy to do.

UV Split

The nut model has been completed, and then I will split their UV first. The model splits the UV first and then copies it, which can save a lot of time for splitting other UVs.

Add UV tags, then use the projection mode to disassemble the model up and down, adjust it and export it to Photoshop to make a map.

Texture Making

I cleaned up the clearer one in the reference image I found before and then aligned the texture to the outside of the UV grid. I made a total of 5 stickers for this nut. Below is the first Color Map I made.

To Make a Bunch of Nuts

Now that a nut has been completed, I will turn it into a pile of nuts in the next step. In this process, I used cloning and rigid body dynamics for dynamic simulation animation, and finally got the final scene.

Chocolate Sauce Effect

Next, this pair of chocolates need to add some effects. I want some chocolate sauce to flow down from the pile of nuts. This fluid effect needs to be made using the C4D's Realflow plug-in.

Chocolate Sauce Material

After the dynamics of the chocolate sauce are satisfied, the next step is to adjust the color and texture to make it closer to the real effect. Then I found a satisfactory lens for rendering. Finally, make the final adjustments in After Effects.

What are topology and retopology of 3D models?
What are topology and retopology of 3D models?
IntroductionIn this article, the best CPU &x26; GPU render farm and cloud rendering services provider, Fox Renderfarm, will tell you what are topology and retopology of 3D models and how to retopologize a model in C4D.When using 3D software for modeling, everyone has their methods and processes, and the construction of the same model will vary from person to person. But what makes a good model? If a model is poorly structured, how to optimize it? These problems involve the topology and retopology of the model. With these questions, let's take a look at what problems we need to pay attention to in the modeling process.What are topology and retopology?Traditional topology is a subject related to mathematical geometry, but we discuss the topology concepts related to 3D modeling here. Now let's understand the topology, and then the retopology.•TopologyWe know that a model is represented in 3D software by a series of surfaces combined at different angles. In my opinion, the topology of 3D modeling is the structural distribution of the surfaces of a model, which is wiring. There are so many ways to combine surfaces when trying to represent and make a 3D model. For example, look at the cube below, although the distribution of surfaces is inconsistent, the appearance looks exactly the same.Each model has its own topology. Some are industrial models exported by industrial design software, such as ProE and SolidWorks; some are made by scanning or other reverse engineering; some are the common model format, such as *.obj, *.fbx, etc. that are exported by different 3D software. Here comes a problem: even if it is the same model, the topology generated in different ways can sometimes give us troubles in the subsequent animation and reprocessing.•RetopologyOnce you understand topology, retopology is straightforward. It is about reconstructing and representing the same model, using a better topology-a more appropriate distribution of surfaces.When retopologizing a model, it will pay more attention to using an appropriate number and size of surfaces to represent a model. And if you need to make point level animations (character’s body animation, cloth, etc.), you should pay more attention to building out some ring and loop structures, so that you can deal with the unsatisfactory animations (such as model collision, overstretching, etc.) produced after extrusion and stretching the surfaces.What is a good topology?First of all, making a good model should try to avoid triangular surfaces and n-gon surfaces connected by more than 5 edges, and try not to make poles with more than 5 edges in important positions. Otherwise, crossed surfaces or unsmooth effects may appear in these places when making subsequent point level animations. For example, for models designed by industrial software, there are a lot of triangular surfaces after the format is converted, and it will be troublesome to create chamfering effects or add subdivisions for these edges.Secondly, a good model should have a good edge flow, which is not only convenient for selection, but also offers a good tension during subsequent animation production.Some positions that need to be animated, such as eyes and mouth, should be modeled with appropriate structures and enough surfaces to support the animation details.What are the benefits of retopology?•A good topology can make the animation betterModels with reasonable structures will show better modeling when it is squeezed and deformed. As three cubes with different topologies that are shown below, some surfaces of them will be torn after they are twisted to a certain degree.•Models with good topology will be reworked more efficientlyFor these models, when we want to add chamfers or add some details to them, we can quickly modify a specific part of the surface. However, for models with unsatisfied wiring, we can only add details by increasing the distribution of modification lines again, which will be inefficient for some complex structures.•Retopology allows for faster mappingFor the production of some mapping, the stretching of UV is needed. If the density of different areas of the model is so different, or if there are both triangular surfaces and N-gons, it will make our work very tedious. So after retopology, the model can make the production and performance of material mapping become more effective.What are the ways of retopology in C4D?There are not many ways to retopology in C4D, but we usually use other software's retopology function to improve the modeling. I will introduce 3 methods of retopology as follow.•Remake some parts of the modelFor some parts with simple structures, it can be made directly through geometry, and then connecting these parts to the model.For some surfaces, shrink wrap and polypaint can be used to retopologize parts of the structure. For example, use shrink wrap to fit some evenly distributed surfaces to the model, and then optimize and merge the structure.•Using volume objectsIn the version after R20, using volume objects can directly generate a model with relatively uniform wiring, but there is not much room for manipulation, and sometimes the edges are not ideal. And if you want more details, you have to produce a lot of surface models.•Using QuadRemesherIn addition to the two methods above, we can also use the QuadRemesher plugin for retopology. For this plug-in, the developer has only released and tested the version applied to Maya and 3ds Max before. Recently, the C4D version has finally come out. I can say that C4D did not have an easy-to-use retopology plug-in before, so the release of QuadRemesher allows us to save more time. Its use is also very simple. Only need to adjust the number of generated surfaces, size and density, you can directly get an ideal model.ConclusionRetopology can help us get a more satisfied model, but how to build and process a model depends on our production needs. Here is a good guide article for you to know more: 3D Modeling Tutorial: Handheld Fan. If you want to create your work using the shape of the model only, then you can just create the shape that meets the needs. If you want to make mapping, animations and others for the model, then you should add lines appropriately according to the requirements of the animation. The model structure can improve the efficiency for the later stage.After the model is built, if you are not too pleased with the effect of C4D rendering, you can look for a cloud rendering farm like Fox Renderfarm to help you render. Hope this article helps you!
