Candle TUT: ZBrush to C4d

[LynneMitchell]

Here is my first 5 part Flash tutorial series from zBrush modeling to the final render in C4D:

zBrush Modeling, Part 1
zBrush stencils, Part 2
zBrush export low poly model & disp. map, Part 3
C4d import model & disp. map, Part 4
C4D sss material & final renders, Part5
C4D source files

Hope you find this useful!

Hi Lynne,
many thanks for sharing. Quite detailed tut

[artstudio3]

thank you!!!

Using hypernurbs on the candle really loses a lot of the advantages of the displacement map, using sub poly displacement brings render times down from an hour to a few mins

[LynneMitchell]

Anything to speed things up! Thanks for the tip.

By the way i am also frugal with my ram, i too enjoy the wonders of c4d and zb with a mere 256 MB though i do have a whooping 1.6 Ghz AMD !!!

I can work well in ZB up to about 1.5 million polys and i once brought a 700,000 poly model into C4D with no problems

I have a fledgling tutorial site up ay http://www.black-and-white-to-color.com/ipbsfx/

Here is my low quality version but rendred in 15 mins including radiosity (256 MB RAM 1.6 Ghz AMD)

[LynneMitchell]

And in only 15 minutes! I will certainly have to go back and do some revisions to the rendering part. Glad to see your work as a result.

Here are my new settings for rendering

Using these sub-polygon Displacement setting instead of putting the model in a hypernurb:
Subdivision Level 4
check-Round Geometry
check-Round Contour
check-Map Rounded Geometry
check-Keep Original Edges

with no filter on the displacement texture and a height of 0.4m

The results were identical at a fraction of the render time.

Huge thanks to paulselhi for this time saving advise.

Thanx Lynne. Nice looking tut's. I've only watched the first 5 mins so far and don't have c4d so I'm just interested in the ZB tut's.
