  1. Thanks, this will be for a website ordering platform so nothing very extravagant. I could get away with something low res but I always like to try and learn something when I make these, so any further help would be welcome; what's this trick you mention cerb, or the method for creating the normal map.
  2. Hey gang, How would you go about modelling this chap here? I need to cook something up - I dont know whether to try and model in these creases or do them with a texture or something clever. Its a little tear off plastic packet like a packet of peanuts.
  3. Ah OK, I assumed it was a common gotcha that everyone would immediately recognise and set me straight. I did change all the modelling axes and positions in the hopeful idea it would fix it, but no dice. I ended up just porting everything into that new scene and carrying on. Cheers
  4. Hey, I get an odd behaviorwhen I scale a loop in my scene: wheras if I move the geo to a fresh scene I get the expected behavior: So I must have an option checked somewhere in the old scene - can anyone identify what I have done? Thanks
  5. Thanks everyone, you guys know your stuff.
  6. Hi all How would I flatten this guy out, as shown? I would like it to fold backwards and all the polys to stretch as needed, but the base to stay in the same place.
  7. The image I have is not square, and to make it square would defeat the object of what I'm trying to do, I have a feeling UV edit only likes an image which is square, is that right?
  8. Thanks Cerb. I remember why I never looked into it further now - it's because as soon as I hear the words 'UV Edit' or 'Bodypaint' my brain substitutes the words: 'No, there's no way to do it - forget it' 🙂 But with a more positive attitude - is this what you mean?
  9. I have asked similar questions before but never quite cracked the answer: if I have some nice flat UVs like this: and a nice image like this: whats the method for gently overlaying one on the other? I have a load of language versions of these to make, and just swapping out the underlying graphic would be grand.
  10. The quality of kids TV, animated and non-animated, has increased vastly since I was a kid, when most cartoons were simply vehicles to sell toys, so I think we're doing OK.
  11. When you think how good modern kids cartoons look now, this is a bit horrible. Compared to something like Bluey, which you parents out there will have enjoyed: https://bit.ly/33bc8Ji Obviously the budgets on these are very different, but do we need a load of shovelware cartoons in our kids' lives?
  12. A B&W version of this would look good too.
  13. Is there generally an ability in PC games to lock the framerate? I am a bit of an oddity in gaming: I dont like high framerates. Anything above 30fps looks very unreal to me. I can imagine that most next gen console games will be aiming for 60+, but in some games there used to be an option to lock framerate to 30, I wonder if that will be possible on new consoles. Or if not, presumably I will be able to do that on the PC.
  14. My policy is to only buy games when they are at least one year old. They are cheaper, you often get free DLC and all the bugs are worked out. Being a day 1 game purchaser is a fast-track ticket to disappointment. In 2021 I might find the time to play God of War, Spiderman, Death Stranding, Outer Worlds etc, all games I have deliberately left alone until now. I mean, I wont find the time because I have 2 kids but you know what I mean 🙂
  15. An article on Advanced Photoshop talking about the wonders of the extrude text function drew my eye to C4D in about 2011, R12 I think. The heady joy of being able to get an answer from someone on the Cafe when I had problems meant that I could actually begin to learn the thing, although many years later and I still feel like I'm dipping my toe in a vast ocean of knowledge.
  16. I have a current licence for R23, but it seems it doesnt work with Octane. I think the last version that will work is R21 - can I download this using my account? Also, where is the information held on the licensing? I Google fruitlessly, getting more returns on cracked versions of C4D than useful info on what I can do with my account.
  17. I wondered why everything I rendered had the Jolly Roger in it 🙂 I have done some troubleshooting and can confirm it is certainly my fault, although what I have done is not yet clear. Maybe the gods of 3D are telling me to uninstall R20 and start learning this node thing everyone talks about. Thank you all.
  18. That's what I thought. Must be user error somewhere then... thanks
  19. Hi there - can I use my R20 install with a MyMaxon account? Work have just sent through my new login, but all that has happened is that my beloved R20 install with my million plugins etc has now ceased to operate. Is this expected behaviour?
  20. Ah I see what you mean. No, I was careful with the framerates, which means it must be something introduced in the original file. I'll have to go back and check the c4d file.
  21. I wanted to make something that people at my work would like, so I make a little scene with easter eggs in that they would recognise. I wanted to build it around this little rabbit model that we used for a big campaign and keeps getting reused for this and that. I'm not sure about the camera work, I tried to keep it quite simple.
  22. Happy to hear critique, although I cant possibly change it any more, unless you spot something REALLY broken.
