i have never used c4d but i basically only use rhino for architecture models. just a lil tip you can change the pivot point in rhino simply by selecting an object and ussing 'zoom selected'... i think that is one of the most helpful navigation tips i know of in rhino... and ussing ctrl+right click to zoom instead of the mousewheel, wheel way to bumpy!but show us what you can do in c4d im intrigued.

I do prefer the zoom target command, which is directly accessible from the standard toolbar (by default above the viewports) by right clicking on the icon with a rectangle and a magnifier on the lower left corner of the rectangle, near the center of the toolbar. This command regenerates the scene as well, so you can zoom really close to objects.

i'm used to use my mouse wheel for zoom, and 'zoom selected' icon.. that's enough imho... anyway, i've got no experience about exporting to cinema, i'm not the cinema user and owner, so that's the reason.. i'm using native CAD format .dxf for exporting my geometry to maya.. that's my SW combination, it's the best choice for me.. i'm absolutelly satisfied.. btw,i'm converting my nurbs geometry to mesh inside rhino, not only when i'm exporting... so i'm using tools - from nurbs to mesh option with all advanced features, than save in .3dm file (for later exporting usage) and than just simple 'export selected as .dxf' ..

Yea Zoom Selected has got to be one of the most usefull tool in Rhino, I have it short cut on keyboard probably the most used tool for me. Took me a while to see what it did, before the nasty zoom thing rhino does when it wont let you zoom any further almost made me throw my monitor out the window.

i didnt even know but i just check his site out then.

Alberto Blasi also know as thirdeye is an architecture student and an absolute genius and cd4. he was the guy that did the great 3d model of the asia kid in a tradition chinese hat not so long back.. ill find the link... http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=225468

so check out his site http://thirdeye.cgcommunity.com and try get onto him im sure he will be atleast able to point you in the right direction.

Here is an animation I did in C4d of my living room (4mb avi). It was modelled in rhino. Feel free to laugh at the flying insect perspective. It was my first shot at animation in cinema. Its suprisingly easy. Right click save as to view. The link doesnt open the movie directly for some reason...........sigh. (Edit:) Ok now it works go figure. www.ericlagman.com/Room_Animation.avi (http://www.ericlagman.com/Room_Animation.avi)

The material has a noise added to the color channel that runs up and down the length of the curtain. It gives the illusion with the dark areas that the curtain is "wavy" even though it is pretty much straight. It also has backlight on in the luminance channel. This works very well to fake sss on a single face surface that has no thickness.

Nice animation elagman, I liked also very much the wood reflections. My only critique is that I found the reflection on the TV screen being too much clean and deep.

Yeah the reflections on the tv also don't move with the camera you will notice. Its a mapped on graphic that I took with my digital camera. The lamp that is reflected in the tv is not the same lamps that are on the little side table. I got new lamps after I took the photo, and too lazy to update it. I would like to have had a quiqtime movie mapped to it and had a movie clip actually playing on the tv. That would have been sweet. Thanks for comments.

Yes of course there is no reflection on the TV screen :)

y dont u take a render of the sceen from where the tc is... then u can replace it with you digital image? i think u shoudl saturate it in like a transparent grey just to dull it down... i really enjoyed that tho.


it seems like this program has great potential...
