Thank you so much for this! Xray & backface culling tip was so helpful. The smoothing and shrink wrap deformer technique is better than using the iron/Smooth brush for relaxing topology.
Thank you! I love your tutorials, keep up the great work👏🏼🙏🏼
You are a king!! Also been looking for this for a long time! I saw Maya people doing retopo very similar to this. And.. the doodle tool I didn’t know if it’s existence.
I review your lessons 3-4 times. I do not get tired to admire your work method. Keep creating. Thank you for your knowledge.

Lots of great tips man. You're awesome.
Best modeling and c4d related channel in KZread. You teach each and every bit of modeling techniques on the market by building product designs and others with clear explanations. Thank you very much for your efforts. I learned subd modeling by watching your videos. Now I feel like I can do anything I imagine. Perhaps you should also concentrate on some animation tutorials as well (if animation is the thing you also know, of course).

With MAX and Maya constantly improving their Auto retopo and non destructive solutions, they already made C4d archaic in terms of modeling. There are a couple of low level tools that feels better than Max ones (not Maya though) but that's it

You may be right but overall, in my opinion, you can do mostly everything in both softwares, some may be faster or slower.

@@polygonpen But if your bread and butter is modeling, then I will not put my hopes or invest too much time in C4d, no matter how pretty and user friendly it is. A very powerful and well integrated modifier based booleans and Arrays plus other modeling improvements are already in beta for MAX and they have an actual public roadmap where you can see the ficus is on modeling and asset creation. Blender and C4d seem to invest now in this strictly procedural node workflow while neglecting traditional modeling.

@@orphydiancg7759 Yeah, Cinema will probably focus on precedural modeling tools, actually it has lots of nodes waiting to be explored, but as you said they also should focus on traditional modeling tools.
is there no workflow where you could live mirror what you were doing to the other side with symmetry?

The objects is asymmetric, so you can not use symmetry.
In my cinema 4d 2024, when I apply it, it stays below the polygon as if it was very stuck, I can't see it properly because it almost disappears

Did you enable project result and Xray?
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm using a newer version of Cinema 4D and it doesn't work properly. For some reason, the polygon pen is selecting the polygons of the back of the geometry and it doesn't create a new layer .. it just sticks to the original geometry. Is there any other tutorial that uses the new version?
@polygonpen
3 ай бұрын
Thank you, I believe you problem is not about the version, the tool hasn't changed a bit for years so before creating a new object, click away in the object manager to deselect everything and then use the polygonpen tool, this is going to create a new object.
