I was a little confused by your tutorial because the texture for the carrot is very specific and detailed, and I had a very simple texture for my object. Btw, it helped me a lot, thanks! (I was trying to make a lightsaber, specifically)
This doesn't seem to have the same workaround in R20... I tried but I didn't make it work. Transparency reacts differently I get a white structure instead of the object becoming luminescent...
You should check out my intro to sub-d modeling and youll see how easy it is to make something like that! www.eyedesyn.com/tutorials/intro-to-subdivision-surface-modeling-in-cinema-4d/
One of the most in-depth tut I can find. Keep it up! I have a project 195 frames long and I was just rendering it with the picture viewer and it renders each frame but just before it starts rendering the next frame the frame background goes all 'Corrupt' with these randomly coloured lines in replacement. Is there anyone that has c4d that could help me out? It would be much appreciated.
+Hassan Haider Weird! You might be seeing the Alpha being calculated if you have Enable Alpha turned on, when you load the image into an app those "corrupt" lines and garbledygook won't show up
Actually yes! A few hours later the same day I looked at he png sequence files and they were absolutely fine. It was related to the Alpha Channel. I then imported the sequence into After Effects and I'm actually just about the render the whole thing!
This is great! I was looking for something like that but GI was killing my times, I will definetly try this on my project! Btw, does the Light Source object need to be textured in order for it work? 'Cause i get the whole "Light inside the object" thing but I'm not sure about that part! Thanks a lot EJ!
did you make an actual short tut of creating those cute carrots? I made some myself but struggled with the leaves a bit. How did you make that smooth shape?
Make a copy of the metaball and apply a Displacer and add a Color into the Shader in the Displacers Shading Channel so the mesh will grow a bit based on the Displacer strength. I use this same technique in my Creating Outlines with Sketch & Toon tutorial
So this way works no problem for me; it's when I use Extrude on my spline. The area light only wants to light the caps and not the fillet. What am I missing in my steps? ...Yes I know it's a video from 2016 and it's 3/4 of the way thru 2019
The bad thing about area lights is they won't let you have visible light [or volumetric], or else you could have alot more cool effects. Or do you know a way to make the visible option available on area lights?
That's correct, Area Lights don't allow for Volumetric effects, but you could always position Volumetric Lights strategically along the surface of the object for similar effects, or do it in post!
Hey dude, your tutorials are such a great help!! Quite the talent. Wondering if it's possible using the matrix mograph and inheritance effector to morph a group of objects into another group. I followed ur tutorial about morphing one object into another but I can't seem to do it with a null of objects as children. I hope this makes sense. Cam.
hi, tq, but i have a question, i have created some objects and tried this, but it has some weird noise in the final outcome, what would be causing it? how can i reduce it?
how the models are made, its black, or with stripes, idk how to say, i removed the file, can you make a download on the resource page on eyedesyn.com? Maybe it can help people more, like me xd
I'm trying to use this for a LED Line but 1) i get noise in my light and 2) there are focal spots around the edges of the walls. Any idea how i can solve this?
Well, i did crank it up to 500 already, i will try max tomorrow hehe... Changing the distance of the samples solves it a little bit... But still some focal spots. The noise was fixed by cranking up render settings of shadow subdivision

Sorry very new to this, i mean is it possible for the light to act as a rainbow, or more than one color. I saw that you can change the lights color in to a gradient if it's a spotlight or omni, but it wont work as an area light

This tutorial was just incredible! I had no clue that you could do that with area lights. Man, That was just amazing! Thank you so much :D!
+John Burdock Awesome, so glad you found this tutorial useful, John! Thanks for watching!!!
Np ^^ and thank you for making this tutorial :D
i love your videos man.. and the fact that you are being so consistent with the uploads... thanks for sharing this with us
+frag 0ut And I love you watching them every week! Thanks so much sir!
cant help myself ..lol
WORKS IN R22 LOVE IT THANKS MAN!
This is fantastic, and again you made me a bit smarter, thanks!

Perhaps you are the god of material.
Thank you^^
you're very welcome! thanks again for all your kind comments! :)
absolute eye opener. Thank you so much.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Another great tuto !!
Thanks Hachem!
So much potential, thanks for sharing!
+Chop Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it!
You mean vitamin A. :)
Thank you for all of your tuts and the time spent teaching!
+emilygrae I meant Vitamin C as in Vitamin SEE! :P Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
This doesn't seem to have the same workaround in R20... I tried but I didn't make it work. Transparency reacts differently I get a white structure instead of the object becoming luminescent...
you are just a boss..i respect you
hey cheers! Thanks so much for the support!
it would be helpful if you did one tutorial on making carrot and leaves :)
You should check out my intro to sub-d modeling and youll see how easy it is to make something like that!

ok cool.
thanks :)
bookmarked. very valuable. thanks ej.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Wow, very cool!
Great tutorial! This is exactly what I was looking for. Also, what version of C4D is this?
This was R16. Thanks for watching!

The carrot/eyesight thing is a myth, but this is still a great tutorial. :)
A lie told by Big Carrot
This is great! I was looking for something like that but GI was killing my times, I will definetly try this on my project!
Btw, does the Light Source object need to be textured in order for it work? 'Cause i get the whole "Light inside the object" thing but I'm not sure about that part!
Thanks a lot EJ!
VEry welcome! It doesnt need to be textured, no.
did you make an actual short tut of creating those cute carrots? I made some myself but struggled with the leaves a bit. How did you make that smooth shape?
I love your tutorials, thank you so much! Any ideas how to apply this effect to metaball?

Hi! Great tutorial! How to make a background black...? Mine is always grey
I wanna learn how to make the carrots can't figure out on my own. Pretty please do a tutorial for the carrots.
So this way works no problem for me; it's when I use Extrude on my spline. The area light only wants to light the caps and not the fillet. What am I missing in my steps?
...Yes I know it's a video from 2016 and it's 3/4 of the way thru 2019
haha old video but im still here to help! :) try the "make single object" in the Caps tab and see if that helps!
@@eyedesyn great tutorial, thanks

+Cam Donald That's a good idea for a tutorial! I'll add that to the list!
+eyedesyn haha thanks man that would be great.
Quick question, when I apply the light to the object the face of the text does not light up? What am I doing wrong?
Skip to 8:10 for the meat and bones of Object -> Area light
hey,thanks for the tutorial its really helpfull,but if i adding the dof would it still glowing and mixing trough the dof?
I would add the Glow in AfterEffects to prevent that, or add the DOF in AE as well.
I followed it step by step but I can't find a way to make it work for me...
What plugins do you have? BTW this was so helpful! ;p
+FedoraGFX RBLX, GFX and Tech Tutorials Not too many, a lot of the work I do is done with everything that is included in the C4D Studio version!
eyedesyn Thanks!
I thought on the thumbnail was goofy xD
Some flickering is inside if i make a make a animation of it in the text (ONLY in the text)
hmm..maybe up the samples in the light?
How can I do this with Hair? I want it to emit like this,
hi, tq, but i have a question, i have created some objects and tried this, but it has some weird noise in the final outcome, what would be causing it? how can i reduce it?
Hi there! I cover why that may happen and that's due to the Samples option, just be sure to up that and you'll remove those splotchy noises!
Thanks！
отлично
I want to make it soooo baaddd, but i have a weird problem :(
Whats going on?
how the models are made, its black, or with stripes, idk how to say, i removed the file, can you make a download on the resource page on eyedesyn.com? Maybe it can help people more, like me xd
eyedesyn sorry fixed it, made a model and its in the good places etc. Only got to install hdr studio
Glad you got it sorted!
I'm trying to use this for a LED Line but 1) i get noise in my light and 2) there are focal spots around the edges of the walls. Any idea how i can solve this?
I mention in the video that you can crank up the Samples to avoid that type of thing, hopefully that will help in this case as well!
Well, i did crank it up to 500 already, i will try max tomorrow hehe... Changing the distance of the samples solves it a little bit... But still some focal spots. The noise was fixed by cranking up render settings of shadow subdivision
It's on max and i still have the problem. Random focal spots and random shadows. I've no idea how to fix this...

Just realised who you sound like. Chris Evans, is that you?
i wish :)
Can anyone tell me if this is possible with a gradient light as well ?
Gradient light?
Sorry very new to this, i mean is it possible for the light to act as a rainbow, or more than one color. I saw that you can change the lights color in to a gradient if it's a spotlight or omni, but it wont work as an area light
lol you have a similar voice to Chris Evans
it's not a solution
Mucho Mejor!!!! no mucho better!!! LOL
Haha I don't claim to be good at the Spanish! ;)
it' not a complaint it's a help... for someone who help so much!!! thank you because your videos i can grow up as 3d artist
Its OK! :) Thank you very much for the nice comment, glad you are enjoying my videos!
