Hey, great tutorial :) i have a question. At 4:34 you made a selection of the back panel. Now for me in the "box" is all black, even when selected, but you have the blue and orange colors. How do you activate the colors?
I accidentally left the player on 0.5 speed after watching a previous video and the start of this one was amazing, "gooooglly eyeess....wooooooooo!" xD
Good question! Box modeling allows for more flexibily with the modeling & using a Subdivision Surface allows for adjusting the subdivisions to help speed up the dynamic sims. Spheres and capsules have a lot of unnecessary subdivisions & it's all about keeping the geometry light for fast simulations!
That's awesome! Amazing tutorial. I am just a little confused on why does the cloth surface does what it does with thickness. It looks great but I always thought it was mostly when working with cloth. Does anyone know?
Thank you! EJ! Great tutorial! it really helpful! Can I ask how to export the Googly Eyes video? I want to explore the render Googly Eyes vision not only the edit version. I can use the mouse to control the googly eyes only when it is playing mode. so I don't know how to export the effect. Could you help me to solve the question? Thank you so much!
ok..yeah, im on Pc. Used to use a Mac but kinda love working on my pc now. The file system is just way easier to use in my opinion. Have fun using yours ;)
Great tut, thanks! Will the dynamics still work if you added position keyframes for the black pupils? Let's say you wanted to have it looking one direction for a few frames?
Thanks for watching! For that to work you'd need to keyframe the dynamics to turn on by animating it, then when you want it to turn dynamic, keyframe the the Enabled checkbox in the Dynamics Tab on the Dynamics tag!
I was wondering if you have a tutorial that covers this, or couldn't give some pointers on how to do it, but I want to make digital eyes (think EVA from Wall-E) for a character I'm making. Just not sure on how to go about doing it.
eyedesyn thanks for getting back! I'll definitely take a look. I came up with a grid cloner technique that uses a shader effector to follow a texture behind my surface material so as the eyes (texture) move, the rectangles disappear and reappear, which looks great in the editor view but in picture render it shows as one object, not my grid, even with render instances off. Hopefully that tut translates to a better method for what I'm looking for.
Great tutorial but I am afraid after following all the steps, once that I move the eye the inside the black cylinder does not follow the eye, any tip to fix this? many thanks in advance
URGENT: Hey Master :) It is been more than a year that I am following you and I am totally not good in c4d, but I am getting better I can say with the beautiful tutorial you are making. I have a question: How can I change that silly Hdri tree in reflection part of my materials? I am frustrated searching for the solution on the internet and I know it sounds silly question but I really need it. regards Sina
without that default hdri you wouldn't be able to see any reflections at all if nothing else is there to reflect. so it does makes sense that it's there. you either can disable reflections in the viewport menu under "options" all together or change the default hdri by hitting shift + v for the viewport settings and under the enhanced open Gl tab twirl down that little arrow right besides the word reflections, there you can specify another default image to show up in reflections. to make that permanent you need to save an empty file with that change in your program directory as "new.c4d".
Making it editable prohibits you from making new subvisions, adding rounding, having access to all the Parametric options. Although it doesn't save much time in this tutorial, using the Correction Deformer workflow is a nice workflow for more complex workflows. Always nice to keep things parametric when you can!
The other day I was doing some light modeling and kept wishing I could make my objects parametric again after messing up with the editable versions. I had backups, but I can imagine the Correction Deformer makes this a lot easier!
you must not have set the selection correctly, check out to make sure you also have the material tag with the material selection to the right of the base material so it's applied on top. materials in C4D work from left (bottom material) to right (top material)
True, but You wouldnt be able to get the right type of movement as it falls to the bottom, it would always want to try to rotate, so thats where the sharper more rectangular edges come in handy.
Thank you for this useful and great tutorial. I just have a question, my character needs to move so fast and my eyes come out of the glass :( what should I do?
super as always, thank you eyedesyn
Well, this seems like a fun thing to motion track onto friends and random videos on the nett! Thanks for the tutorial :D
haha! that sounds like an awesome plan!
Absolutly funy plan :D
Wow, thanks so much for this, I'll be making a googly eyed thing for my next music video. I will for sure send you a link.
YES! Definitely share that!
Early test here, twitter.com/MRoyal_TPower/status/779413589387907072
Oh EJ.
Never change.
I'll try not to! ;)
so good!
Thanks Ben!
Hey, great tutorial :) i have a question. At 4:34 you made a selection of the back panel. Now for me in the "box" is all black, even when selected, but you have the blue and orange colors. How do you activate the colors?
They should be like that by default...which version of C4D are you using?
im using R18 O.o
maybe try hitting Alt + A to activate isoline editing?
Wow this is awesome!! i wanna make the googly eyes in after effects
Thanks! I believe VideoCopilot released a googly eye plug-in for After Effects!
+eyedesyn Really? woah
I accidentally left the player on 0.5 speed after watching a previous video and the start of this one was amazing, "gooooglly eyeess....wooooooooo!" xD
hahaha nice
awesome!!!
Thanks!
You sir just earned a sub. Maybe a tutorial on how to put these on videos? That would be awesome :)
Awesome! Thanks for the sub, Scott! You mean tracking googly eyes on footage? I believe VideoCopliot did something like that in the past!
eyedesyn I will have to look for that :) thanks for the tip
Good luck!
It's useful
Thank you very much !
Thanks very much for watching!
Awesome Stuff, Thanks so much Ej, Really inspiring me. I really want to be a better animation designer and graphics designer altogether.
If you have the passion and the drive to do the work to get better, you definitely will get better! Keep it up! And thank you!
How did you make the eyes stick to the orange body? I successfully created the googly eyes but now i want to make the eyes stick to the body.

Make the eyes & orange a child of a Null, animate that Null and it'll work fine!
good
my version of cinema4d (r19) seems to be missing that plugin, any suggestions?
itds only in studio versions
Hey EJ, great tutorial. I curious to know why you chose a cube instead of a sphere or capsule. Cheers.
Good question! Box modeling allows for more flexibily with the modeling & using a Subdivision Surface allows for adjusting the subdivisions to help speed up the dynamic sims. Spheres and capsules have a lot of unnecessary subdivisions & it's all about keeping the geometry light for fast simulations!
Great
That's awesome! Amazing tutorial. I am just a little confused on why does the cloth surface does what it does with thickness. It looks great but I always thought it was mostly when working with cloth. Does anyone know?
I'm not to sure, but I think the Cloth Surface thickness in here makes that "zoom" feeling of a lense.
i love your videos! :) but do you can teach how make modeling clay material?
Thanks very much! I'll add that to the tutorial idea list!

I had the same problem. Did you solve it?
this was very nice..its always very nice to follow. have you ever owned and worked on a pc?
Wayyy wayy back in college. :) I think I may be forced to go back to PC here soon though.... Are you PC?
ok..yeah, im on Pc. Used to use a Mac but kinda love working on my pc now. The file system is just way easier to use in my opinion. Have fun using yours ;)

Awesome, thanks a lot man and thank you for what you do. I have been learning a lot from you!!

Hello are you using iMac ?
Hi ! I have a new mac Pro
i should buy macbook pro 15'' for c4d ? i dont really understand computers too much and i dont want use windows again
Just wondering those eyes are naturally looking down, how do you make them resting towards the top so he's looking elsewhere?
Also, when I hit play, nothing happens lol. my iris does not drop.
What's the difference between using the correction deformer and making it editable?
Making it editable prohibits you from making new subvisions, adding rounding, having access to all the Parametric options. Although it doesn't save much time in this tutorial, using the Correction Deformer workflow is a nice workflow for more complex workflows. Always nice to keep things parametric when you can!
The other day I was doing some light modeling and kept wishing I could make my objects parametric again after messing up with the editable versions. I had backups, but I can imagine the Correction Deformer makes this a lot easier!
Wow :0
:)
why cant i select the back panel? when I set the selection it just makes the whole eye white
you must not have set the selection correctly, check out to make sure you also have the material tag with the material selection to the right of the base material so it's applied on top. materials in C4D work from left (bottom material) to right (top material)
Man oh man this would be cool to learn in maya...
Maya!? Boooooo! :P
you could just use the dynamic tag on the iris with an ellipsoid shape rather than a low poly parent.
True, but You wouldnt be able to get the right type of movement as it falls to the bottom, it would always want to try to rotate, so thats where the sharper more rectangular edges come in handy.
liked :)
thanks!!!!
Thank you for this useful and great tutorial. I just have a question, my character needs to move so fast and my eyes come out of the glass :( what should I do?
digging dat siri on mac yet?
cant say ive used it ever!
