Yaaaay you're back!! I have a question, what's the difference between using a bump image instead of using the extrusion process that you did? Waiting for part two!! cheers!!
Excellent question. In part 2, I discuss why I chose the extrusion over the bump / normal map image. But for the sake of time; I chose the extrusion process, because in Cinema 4D, when applying texture maps to spheres (using only the in-app textures available), there's a tendency for the primitive sphere to polarize the texture map, essentially pinching the texture at both polar ends of the sphere, distorting the texture map. So unless you have a 3rd party texturing software, like Substance designer via allegorithmic, the extrusion process is one of the best solutions that I've found (so far).
If you are in R23 when "Mesh->Add->Subdivide", the whole mesh is selected, not only the previous lines but also the pentagons. To solve that, before subdividing it, make a set selection of the lines so you can reselect them later.
It seems like for the new version of C4D R23, you have to go to Mesh > Add > Subdivide. But when I do this, all the hexagons are selected as well, so I can't go to the next step. Could you advise on what to do?
When I click subdivide all the shapes are selected that's why when I clikck melt they are all gone even the spheres, how can i fix that please help thanks!
Hmm... it seems like you might be missing a step in the tutorial. I’d advise watching again. If it still doesn’t work, you’re welcome to email me what steps you’re taking.
@@Colorcubic alright i figured it out,it's in my version of cinema4d,when i tried a lower version and do it again all went fine,in a higher version you can't just select all then click subdivide because the polygon and hexagon will not separate,you must first click the edge mode then select all then click polygon mode then click subdivide,that will do it
Thanks for the heads up! There’s a lot of new content in the works and on the way, so feedback like this is great. I’ll be sure to update this tutorial with info on newer versions of C4D. Currently familiarizing myself with S22.

@@Colorcubic Thank you very much! I am really curious about your SceneLight project! Cheers!
You're very welcome. And I'm excited to release it to the public.
This is the best well described tutorial with the best tempo I've ever seen in my life!!! Thanks for doing this!!!
Thanks for the kind words, Hernan. 🙏🏾

also clicking polygon mode before adding subdividion will work too
thank you!!
@@gnalog9633 My pleasure!
This is how a tutorial should be! Perfect clear instructions. Thanks a million!
Thanks, Vicente! I really appreciate the compliment.
Glad to see you're back. That basketball animation is filthy!
lol... thanks ¥
It's so damn well executed, even the easiest steps (where some beginners could struggle) are well explained and shown. Nice!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m really glad you think so. Cheers! 🙏🏽

You got it. I’ll test that today, and get back to you momentarily. Stand by.
same problem.....
What an excellent tutorial I've just found!
Cheers! Thanks for the kind words. 🙏🏽
Hi, I like it. I will wait the part 2. Thank you
part 2 coming up soon.
Here's part 2 » th-cam.com/video/QD5DAO7F0LA/w-d-xo.html
Not bad you at at a steady followable speed

@@tuffhill2642 this just saved me thank you
@@tuffhill2642 Dude, came through in the clutch--I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Dame Lillard from deep.
Can you make video related with robots or like iron man please
I think I might have something in the pipeline like that. Be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out on future videos.
Cheers!
I don't know why but my bumps became hexagone hole could you help me please?
Hmm... interesting. Could you share your scene file? When I get a chance, I'll take a look.
I came here to see how to draw the lines on a ping pong ball lol
