How to Bend or Deform Extruded Shapes in Cinema 4D

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to bend or deform extruded shapes in Cinema 4D. If you ever tried to deform an extruded spline before you’ll experience some odd issues with the geometry not deforming as you’d like it to. In this video we’ll talk about why that is and how to change your splines intermediate points and Extrude Object’s Cap options to be able to achieve a nice smooth deformation of your extruded object. Then we’ll go over how to use deformers like the Bend and Wrap deformers to create some interesting abstract art…that kiiiiinda looks like the C4D logo all remixed. As always, experimenting with this technique is encouraged to see what sort of interesting compositions you can come up with!

Create a Bendy Text Design in Cinema 4D

In this tutorial we’ll recreate this Scandinavian inspired design in Cinema 4D or Cinema 4D Lite! It’s a design made up of a piece of text with layers peeling away revealing transparency on the backside of peeled back portions. We’ll break down how you model all the pieces and set up your text so you can smoothly bend the geometry of your text spline or any other spline you’d like to use. Next, we’ll texture our object, creating the plastic, glass, and wood materials as well as light the scene. Finally, we will cover how you can easily iterate by changing the text in the Text Spline Object by using Instances.

This tutorial can be followed along using Cinema 4D Lite that comes for FREE with Adobe Creative Cloud!

Using an Object as a Light in Cinema 4D

In this tutorial I’m going to break down how you can turn any object or spline into a light source in Cinema 4D! This method is a great alternative to large render hits you could get by using Global Illumination. First, set up my carrot scene with some basic textures. Then, I’ll show you how you can use Area Lights to turn any object or spline into a light source. Finally, we will go over some things to be wary of using this technique as well as how to prep the scene for possibly compositing a glow in After Effects.

How to Quickly Create a Topographic Map in Cinema 4D

In this tutorial I’m going to break down how you can easily create a topographical map inside of Cinema 4D! First, I’ll cover how to setup a Landscape Object and then how to then easily slice it into layers. Then I’ll demonstrate how to use the sliced layers to generate splines that will then be used to extrude to make each of the topographic levels. Finally, I’ll light our scene and go over how to apply a colorful texture to the topographic map based on height (and even show some useful XPresso along the way!)

QUICK TIP: For R17 users out there, be sure to use the new Spline Smooth tool to be able to smooth out those dense points to create rounder edges on your topographic layers.

If you have any questions, be sure to post it in the comments section and if you create anything cool using this topographic technique, be sure to share it with me! Thanks for watching!
