Great start and so cool to hear about your Intentions along the way. Keep going, just keep making as much stuff as you can. The process of making things is how you learn, even if the end product is not great (this happens to all of us). Try some material and lighting studies too - there are millions of free models online you can use for practice if you want to work with more complex geometry for this. Keep going!

I drive a Subaru 😭 and the model is from Turbosquid. Thank you 🙏

Well, I'm back on my shit. Been buried for the last few months, but testing out Redshift 3.0.56 with Cinema 4d R25. Getting a lot of hangs and force quit errors. Gonna try to update video drivers and see if that helps. Still using 23 for client work.

It's true Dave - it was a cheap shot and I apologize.

Certainly not trying to be dismissive of anyones thoughts or feelings. I too have my whole career and living wrapped up in Cinema, as well as Vectorworks - made by the same company and releasing new versions of both softwares in the same week this year. I am passionate about the future of Cinema4d and sure, there are things I'd like to change and things I'd like to see different. Am I thrilled about the Maxon App - not really. Do I like the concept of subscriptions - not really. I give constructive feedback on the user experience when I can, I submit problematic files, and have dialogue with tech support. But I'm not speculating on the inner workings of the company or their intensions based on remarks from a company guy, trying to talk to the community, over the internet. Be pissed and speak your mind - I'm all for it: Just don't do it with tin foil on your head.

Dave - please, take a deep breath. It's going to be okay, dude. I don't want to speak for Rick, but I believe he is just saying because of the pandemic, it's been harder to meet face to face with end users at shows and events. Zoom and message boards aren't the same as personal interactions - especially when you're dealing with artists and designers. No deep conspiracies. It's just software. Every time a new release comes out you go bananas on here. I worry for your health. Of course, everyone is entitled to an option - I'm not trying to change your mind. I just respectfully ask you to take a breath and focus on what the software is designed to do - create.

D'oh!

Very nice!

Pika Pika!

Looking nice in here!

WOW! Looks so cool - nice model too. Can't wait to see lightning flying off of it 🙂

Great stuff! Really get a sense of speed from it. Nice work.

Explaining my career to my family.

The toon stuff is so liberating. I spend most of my day inside of CAD being precise and then trying to be photo real in Cinema. This is a pleasant change.

More toon work. A sketch of my friends new house.

Stag Beetle. Inspired loosely by Sasha Vinogradova.

Trying something a bit different for me just to mix it up. Enjoying quick modeling this stuff - therapeutic. 💥

More Grass.

Grass.

Super clean. Nice work all around!

I really over cranked it on this one to see if I liked it. I don't. 🙂

Still alive - just been buried in work. More stuff coming soon.

04.26 Parisian Dinning Room. More interior practice.

Thanks, but I don't want any money for info. I have learned so much from this site and so many people have helped me here (you, Cerbera, Das Frodo, Vector, King Coma, Voz, etc) - I'm just happy to give back to the community any information I can.

Ha - sorry for the delay. I got my second vaccine shot (Yay) - but it's kicked my ass and I've been in bed for two days. Strong stuff.
