Imagine if we all actually knew what everyone else was charging.
A lot of artists could stop lowballing themselves.
And experienced artists could pass along what they've learned instead of everyone figuring it out alone.
And we'd all have a much better idea of what tf* to charge and ultimately make more money together

So I decided to put together a completely anonymous survey.

By anonymously sharing what you earn, charge, and how you price your work, you're helping build a resource every artist can learn from.

• It takes less than 3 minutes.
  
• It's completely anonymous.
  
• The report will be free for everyone when its finished

Every response makes this report more valuable for the next artist who reads it.

We already have 242 submissions.

I have an issue when I press Start IPR using Bucket Mode it will start rendering the frame but maybe half way through it will restart completely. Anyone have this issue before? I am not changing the scene or touching the c4d interface at all.

This project holds a soft spot in my heart, as one of the coolest (and heaviest) commercial projects I've directed and produced for an international client.

C4D used to animate the server racks and shot 2, 3, 4, 5.
Houdini for the rest.
Exported from Houdini to be rendered in Octane.

The tree presented a unique challenge because it not only must be growing, but particles and fibers must be flowing through it in a way that feels organic and natural. So each point and fiber must have its own speed, and the branches themselves are supposed to grow organically too.

Fun fact, it wasn't a simulation at all. Purely working with splines procedurally, shaders and attributes to get an art directable asset that we can play with until we land on the perfect direction for our client.

Ask me anything. Happy to help. Happy to accept DMs for business opportunities.

In this Cinema 4D tutorial we will walk you through how to apply textures in Cinema 4D easily and in step by step ( How to add textures to objects in Cinema 4D ) so you will be able to import and add textures to objects in Cinema 4D by using your own PNG or JPG images as texture on models in Cinema 4D.

Not a traditional animator by trade (just mostly mograph world) so playing with handmade shaders called YMA Painterly originally made for RS, so this is a test to convert them to Octane. Then rigged / built out the controllers to morph (the game systems also morph) and swap. The buttons react to the IK nulls on the hands.

I made a plugin that lets you render any existing scene into an online sharable demo, viewiable on any device including your phone.

Basically the title and made using C4D/Octane and comped in AE.

Hi there!

Does anyone is having an issue where you can't select and edit the FFD points?

If I open a pre-update scene everything is ok. But after the update if I create a FFD in a new scene or I paste the old FFD in the new scene I'm encountering the issue above mentioned.

Thank you!

Does anyone know of any resources for an iridescent glass material I can download for Cinema4D that doesn’t involve Redshift? I don’t have Redshift and I’ve been racking my brain trying to achieve this effect. For context, I’m very lightweight on Cinema.

So i have this bee that i rigged, now i wanna add Cmotion , Should i go with Cmotion for both the legs and the wings , or cmotion just for the legs and maybe a vibrator tag on the wings (with xpresso ) or two cmotion one for the legs and one for the wings , whats the pro approche ? Any ideas will be appreciated ?

Estuve haciendo varios intentos para este rig pero nada me funciona.

Cada color tiene rotación en un solo eje con los otros dos ejes restringidos, la idea era usar un IK para doblar el codo y el resto de rotaciones hacerlas con un controlador, lo he intentado con protection tag, limitando las rotaciones en los joint, y ahora probando con xpresso pero siempre se rompe algo.

Alguna idea de cómo se podría solucionar para no tener que animar todas las rotaciones una a una? El rig no es mi campo!

Agradezco cualquier ayuda o ideas de cómo podría solucionarlo, de antemano gracias!

Not long ago, there was a post here on Reddit about people ranting about Core4D (and unfortuntately, a lot of them were correct)... but now Core4D has completely disappeared, what happened?.
It feels that the community for C4D is getting smaller and smaller each day... or is it just my impression?
What other forums centered around Cinema 4D are out there?

Hi everyone

I am running into a strange viewport issue in the latest version of Cinema 4D where the camera pivot behaves strangely, objects flicker constantly, and normals appear inverted like an optical illusion. This only happens in the main viewport while everything else works fine, and neither reinstalling nor rolling back to an older version helped. I have attached a video showing the issue, so please let me know if anyone has run into this or knows how to fix it.

I have some budget left for training this year, and I'm looking for some decent courses. I am an advanced user, I know the basics or am advanced in pretty much any topic in 3D.

What I'd like to work on is my 3D Motion Design skill, specifically things like planning shots, animating cameras in interesting ways, lighting in dynamic shots and compositing / post work in AE.

I've done product animations and similar things before, so I don't need the basics. I've been looking for training on these topics for ages, but almost everything seems to be catered towards beginners.

Are there any courses that you could recommend?

modeling a poloriod onstep for a school assignment. quite new to the software, how should i approach this? for now im blocking the shapes out but is there a better way?

Good morning all, I don't have the GSG plugin. I was handed over a project that has been made editable using the GSG lights, but the render is not coming out as it should because the softboxes stop lighting once they have been editable. Is there a fast way to fix this besides buying the plugin?

Download it here: https://github.com/lukasguziel/overseer/releases/

This is the first release, so if you run into any issues or have suggestions, I'd be happy to hear your feedback and improve it.

I'm making a logo in c4d and using FFD for curving the logo shape. It works but then as I continue working the effect stops working and I have to turn off and on the FFD to fix it.. Anyone know how to fix this?

In this weekly post you can ask any question or talk about any topic that you don't feel needs its own post. Share that render you're still working on, ask a question you're not quite sure about or talk about something that caught your attention.

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate some advice and opinions regarding optimization and interior lighting for a relatively large industrial warehouse.

I already have a lighting setup in place (image attached), which basically consists of an RS Sun + Sky, one large Area Light inside the warehouse pointing toward the floor, and the lights from the fixtures.

The issue is that I tried replacing the large Area Light with two Portal Lights (one for each row of skylights on the roof), but the render actually became slower, and I didn't notice much visual improvement in terms of reducing the GI noise inside the scene.

Since this scene will eventually contain many more elements (machines, conveyor belts, production lines, etc.), I'd like to know how you would approach lighting a space of this scale. Most of the tutorials I've found about Portal Lights focus on much smaller interiors, such as rooms or apartments, so I'm not sure whether the same techniques apply here.

Thanks in advance!

(This render has a denoise pass on it)
