That timeline tip really WAS a big tip! Awesome. Here's a good organizational tip: use an empty instance object as the parent of an hierarchy - doing this will allow you to control-click on it's 'tickmark' [enable/disable switch] and turn on or off all of its child object that have the same 'tickmark'. If you have a bunch of cloners, instances, extrudes or whatever in an hierarchy that you'd like to turn on or off all at once you can just ctrl-click on their parent. Another approach for finer control is to use a Selection Object. Ever hear of that? On the menu choose _Select_ > _Selection Filter_ > _Create Selection Object_ to create one. You can use it just like a null [ it has it's own matrix ] so use it as the parent of an hierarchy and populate it's list field with specific items within that hierarchy that you'd like to control [select] all at once. You can then quickly select those items by double clicking on the parent object. Double-clicking a selection object will select the contents defined in it's list. Sometimes it's better to have something other than a null be the parent of an hierarchy ;)
Another pretty useful tip: press "r" in curves editor or go to Edit > Region Tool. Allows to move, to stretch, and to flip points within the selected region.
Dope as always! :) That middle Mouse on Groups! Man!! I had that shortcut as a custom button, cause it bugged me so much.. Just one thing to mention: with unchecking „All Frames“, be aware that it can mess up simulations and certain effectors, if not pre cached since those need all frames for calculations.. Oh.. and one nice obscure tip from me: hold down “7” while moving a parent Null, will keep children in place!!
For centering the axis, instead of using the "center axis to", which I know is a one click thing, use "Axis Center" then you will get a properties window and you will be able to center the axis to any property you want... such as selected points, edges and faces, the alignment will be much more precise to what you want.
If you open the center axis dialogue you can choose to put the axis anywhere on the model xyz or a combo such as middle model bottom y, etc. No need to adjust the axis manually. Find it through the menu tree and add that button to your GUI so it opens the options before executing.
Thank you for your tips!! "11:39" Center Axis to tool can also center axis to selected polygons, lines or points. If you open the Center Axis Tool window, there are a bunch of options. This saved me so much time when working with imported objects. Hope this helps.
I'm a softimage user transitioning to c4d and many times I find myself trying to do softimage things without thinking about it. One of those things was the middle click heirarchy selection and I was surprised that it worked in c4d. Actually, cinema 4d feels a lot like softimage and I feel like I have a head start on learning the program.
Great tips thanks, can I ask about your very cool fire fly sparkly light on your shelf... 😀 is that a real lamp and where did you get it from? Thanks again for the tips... I think I need to go back to C4D school I’ve been using C4D for over 15yrs and did not know any of that lol 😂
@Andrey Lebrov at 6:01 there is o need to lock a point, you can simply hold SHIFT while dragging up/down or left/right and the point will have a certain threshold on both axies ;-)
heres a tip that surprisignly not a lot of people think, i always see people locking their camera with the lock tag cause they cant ctrl-z it if they move the camera by accident, but there's ctrl-SHIFT-z and ctrl-SHIFT-y that only undo and redo camera moves.
Андрей, спасибо за контент. Всегда радуюсь новым видео. У меня есть вопрос - в каком-то из видео заметил у тебя графический планшет. Насколько это необходимая вещь в монтаже и CG? уже много где их видел, но про удобство и необходимость в нашей сфере инфы практически нет.. А видосу лайк однозначно)
Thanks for the great video!! Something slightly off topic and my sincere apologies for posting it, here. With respect to your experience and high level of skills, would it be possible for you to make a video comparing/analyzing/commenting Fusion vs Nuke please? My question is if both software can do the same thing, why according to your opinion Fusion is so less used/wanted in vfx studios? Almost all announcements for roto/prep or compositing ask for candidates to know nuke. Thank you again for your time reading this and my apologies for the off-topic question. Keep up the great work!! :)
Hi Andrey, thanks alot for the tips! Can you make a video that explain how to get good looking headlamp/brake light (visible lights under a refraction object) cus I've been struggling to get the best and cleanest image without have to crank all the setting way up
its not a tablet, its a 3d mouse, or Spacemouse. specifically designed for controlling virtual cameras. it looks very handy, but ive never used one tho.
Both C4D and blender is about same, blender has more features like compositor that you can use instead of Fusion/Nuke/AAE. Blender has superior built-in renderer + Octane free tier. I personally don't like any of these, they both are good at only few things and lacking in many others so if your client gonna ask something specific you probs gonna need to look for another software e.g. blender can't do VFX properly, C4D too unless you pay $600 for X-Particles, blender sucks at lighting ( you gonna have to move lights using move and rotate tool like a photographer in a studio which is the slowest method of them all, there's no shortcuts of some kind ) meanwhile C4D is pretty great at it, both softwares suck at scene management ( too many extra clicks n stuff, Max has the best scene and material management out there imo thats why i guess it became popular for archivz, however now Maya is becoming the best choice for archviz ). My favorite combo is 3ds Max ( ofcourse without plugins it's not that special ) + V-Ray 5 ( GPU ), Houdini + Redshift is also superb but it's pretty advanced.
honestly, i dont see c4d in 5 or 10 years. Blender its so close to do everything that c4d its capable of. And its free. And actually, blender does it better in some areas, like modelling or UV. I think the most safe decision would be to learn blender along houdini. Im still using c4d but im thinking about changing, its sad and hard to re learn everything from 0 in another soft but honestly, c4d its so behind in some aspects. his particle system its so rudimentary, his UV tools prehistoric, until the last realease, but anyway, far from being decent. dynamics tools? modelling tools? hair system? almost everything its so behind compared to other softwares, any other software really. im not hating, its just what it is.
E. Ignacio I really want to thank you for the answer and the advice, i am really strugling with that decision, there are so many things to consider...anyway I will give it a try
@@es_ina Blender does everything C4D and often more but these often come with a "but" and its far more messy. In blender you cant even keep primitives non editable to work with them and tweak them later per example. Volume builder and the hierarchy / general workflow and far superior UI / UX (blender has the worst, C4D the best) is the biggest advantage but Blender does have more features on paper, and far more resources
Hello Andrey, I really need help here and I think my question would be critical for most of the octane users in cinema 4d. How can we bake an Octane displacement map into an actual model in cinema 4d? For example, I want my Octane displacement map to change my plane mesh.
Hi, wondering if it possible to setup external ssd as media scratch disk. I have a older computer and finding ways to export my media cash to external ssd drives. Is that possible?
God i love your videos and vibe so much!
I see Clint and I upvote
"5:29“ best tip for sure... So simple but what a time saver...

God, been using selection filter for eternity never heard of this 😂 guess it’s for Vol.3 then

Вижу видео Андрея - ставлю лайк!))
Всегда приятно видеть небольшие хинты от практика, которые экономят тонну времени на длинной дистанции! Отличные советы!
I love how you keep improving your intro! :D
skillshare has bought every single youtuber alive! Jesus.
Thanks for the tips yo👊

11 is so clutch! I've learned about vertex maps, but transferring it to a selection via fields?! Brilliant!
The first tip is gold 😱
If you open the center axis dialogue you can choose to put the axis anywhere on the model xyz or a combo such as middle model bottom y, etc. No need to adjust the axis manually. Find it through the menu tree and add that button to your GUI so it opens the options before executing.
Another tip, always crt shift s after any major changes 😂🖖🏻
I always do that before... just in case c4d crashes :)
Lol 😂
Nice! Love the Tips.
Do you use pentablet or mouse to navigate in viewport?
Please make a video on how to color grade our videos... especially TH-cam videos indoor like yours... man it's cinematic Andrey :)
Greetings from Brazil!
Dope tips and great content as usual!
Omg! haven't even watched the whole video yet. That first tip alone is going to save me HOURS!
Whaaaaaa that +1 bonus tip is mind blowingly powerful!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 thanks man!
you can also render a playblast using opengl engine. Most accurate preview
that all frames tip. awesome!
😎 the speed timeline tip
Thank you for your tips!! "11:39" Center Axis to tool can also center axis to selected polygons, lines or points. If you open the Center Axis Tool window, there are a bunch of options. This saved me so much time when working with imported objects. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the awesome tips! How do you float around the viewport like that 7:21?
15:44 - actually that was best tip! so much time and click saver
Awesome I've been waiting for this. Thanks Andrey.

not gonna gatekeep, but for people who really spend hours with Cinema everyday these tips are VERY exciting
You have saved my life within the opening 2 mins of this video. Thank you.
Random C4D tip: The Almighty "V" Key!!
All your content is so good! Thanks for the great vid!
You can disable textures in viewport also going to options (in viewport) and unchecking "textures"
Great tips thanks, can I ask about your very cool fire fly sparkly light on your shelf... 😀 is that a real lamp and where did you get it from? Thanks again for the tips... I think I need to go back to C4D school I’ve been using C4D for over 15yrs and did not know any of that lol 😂
Great videos, subbed by the second one I watched.
The tracker looks amazing, C4D is getting my attention every passing day.
I just love listening to you talk
Incredible tutorial, thank you! I'm self taught and wouldn't have even thought about a lot of these things. Each of these tips were super useful!
@Andrey Lebrov at 6:01 there is o need to lock a point, you can simply hold SHIFT while dragging up/down or left/right and the point will have a certain threshold on both axies ;-)
Vertex Painting even faster: Just choose the paint tool and start painting. Faster workflow :D
Ty for all the tips!
Great tricks! Keep on rollin, Bro!
Видео ещё не смотрел,не успел,но лайк уже поставил )
Really Dope tips 👌👍... Loved 1&2
heres a tip that surprisignly not a lot of people think, i always see people locking their camera with the lock tag cause they cant ctrl-z it if they move the camera by accident, but there's ctrl-SHIFT-z and ctrl-SHIFT-y that only undo and redo camera moves.
Thanks Andrey ! I always wondered if we can mix camera calibration with camera tracker ?
@7:22 wait, these tires have the sidewall details modeled? i dont even wanna know how many polygons that is 😅
sir your tips are so helpfull. can you please make another video on tips ?
Great, little shortcuts to share, thanks, and thanks for make this possible.
Great tips as always. Are you using Redshift now more than Octane?
Love your channel .... post as much as you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maan thought u abandoned us😂...very useful tips
Great stuff, Andrey, thanks!
I noticed a lot of Redshift icons. Are you already using it in production?
Greetings from Poland!
Finally!!! I've been waiting this video soooo much
Very good indeed thankyou. What mac are you using?
Amazing, Thanks💯...Please, create another compositing tutorial🤗
I've been experimenting with Cinema 4D and I've been thinking about migrating from Maya to Cinema 4d.

если не хочешь туннельный синдром, то лучше использовать граф планшет
Thank you boss!
Great tips! Thank you!
Please share with us how did you set up your tablet for viewport navigation. It seems very fluid in comparison to the traditional alt+click method.
Not a c4d user, but love your videos, everything is very well explained :)
This is how many Cinema4d tips we need ⬇️
I've chosen Cinema 4D because of you 👌

Man u deserve a lot more subscribers.
Thanks a lot, very helpful.
Hi can you talk about product lighting and rendering in c4d in any of your future videos. Thank you.
So dope indeed. Are you using a "special" mouse? Your navigation in the viewport is so smooth.
Check vid description 😉
@@AndreyLebrov thanks, man
@@AndreyLebrov hi, does this mouse help a lot setting up your camera key frames? or it only benefits the viewport movements? thanks
great. How do you fly like a god in the viewport? I think that it will be great to use cappuccino for realistic camera movement
You'll need to get yourself a tablet like a Wacom for that nifty aspect :) That's how the tablet interaction works.
its not a tablet, its a 3d mouse, or Spacemouse. specifically designed for controlling virtual cameras. it looks very handy, but ive never used one tho.
can you do a tutorial on how u made your intro?
Last one was good, and there's more !!
It seems that people are going to the "blender side", what is your opinion on that Andrey? C4D still a solid option? Houdini is god
Just learn Houdini

Killer tips!
it's amazing
Hi, wondering if it possible to setup external ssd as media scratch disk. I have a older computer and finding ways to export my media cash to external ssd drives. Is that possible?
Ah thank god ... a new video
Amazing!!!!
You were using Houdini, how is that going with that software?
I’m learning Houdini, not on it 100% yet
How do you flying in viewport like this?
I'm confuse between rtx quadro 4000 and rtx 2080 super which is better for octane
Nice video😁
хотел узнать. если я способ использования октейн рендера бесплатно при случае если ты новичок и учишься как им пользоваться?
Mr what are the specs of your pc?
Damn i never comment, but this really was a blessing. Thank you
How do I like this video more than once??
i need more skillshare class :')
Why does the same space mouse I use seem to have a low frame rate when operated in C4D？Thank you！
Я один заметил что у Андрея пропал Октан?А ведь раньше это был его любимый рендер!Неужели прийдется переходить на шифт?
