This uses the Boolean Intersection technique ive described on youtube but combined with Volume builder twice to finally create 1 click edge damage concrete the proper way. This of course also works for other materials. It took me a long time to get on the right track to get the concrete technique right to not make it look wrong. The key is to try keep sharp edges and a flat surface mostly, but options for holes and grunge are there. How to use: Just drag any mesh there, thats it. Make sure the mesh is closed, otherwise you will need to go to the volume builder and enable the "optimize and close holes" which makes it much slower however. Tips: You can tweak the top volume builder Dilate and erode settings for surface details or sharper softer outcome. You can tweak the bottom volume builder to change the edge damage. Also try increase Iterations in dilates and erodes. Total calculation time is a couple seconds only on my 12900k but the boolean is the bottleneck and can get laggy, however I do a mesher reduction and polygon reduction to optimize. I think this could be further optimized by using the boolean from the Nodes system which I strongly assume is multi threaded (Edit: there is no geo boolean in nodes yet?), but I haven't gotten to that yet. If that were the case, you could feed this much more powerful things. You can also try high quality boolean. You can also drag multiple meshes at a time. Test settings on a small mesh for performance always. The polygon reduction on top does a good job in making game ready meshes as well, also applies vertex colors for AO and edges ready for shaders to be used within engines such as unity or unreal. Recommended process is: - Drag in, wait - Create instance - Collapse instance - Drag instance into poly reduction (tweak if wanted) - Create instance of poly reduction - Collapse poly reduction - Export mesh with the vertex colors / Use in production But do as you like, the mesh is there.

Don´t have it but expect you got zipped file with database. Simply unzip it, place somewhere you want to have it, open c4d Asset Browser and connect database (step 2 is optional, just to see whats happend when installed database (will be added under "User Databases")) After these steps you should see added database and objects appear in asset browser (search for their name or are created in special folder, you´ll see)

Hi Christoph 1 Open Asset browser 2 From Create menu select 'Import Assets' 3 Locate the zip file and import - New category called 'CORE4D' will be made in asset browser with all the primitives within

We didn't. We took the perimeter edges of the original (via edge to spline command), and extracted a spline from it. By placing that spline in an Extrude generator, one of the caps options is 'ngon'. CBR

CA - Character anim as Chester says Click and drag on little spheres, that activates the row. Bear in mind this is a prototype : )
