This entry was posted in Uncategorized by Antoni Karbowiak. I’m planning to complete one more tutorial and start experimenting on my own. In the Mesh Deformer, putting Connect Object in the cage and clicking initialize completes the process. Solution for this was creating Connect Object (like in one of the previous tutorials) and making the sphere a child of it. MoExtrude changing the mesh of the low mesh sphere, confuses the mesh deformer. Although, in this case, there’s a better way – duplicating the sphere to make it a high res target sphere, adding more segments to it and adding a mesh deformer. There were two methods mentioned (which I will have to learn about) – subdivision surface and bevel deformer. Making Global Matrix an output in the first material and an input in the other, connects them, making any variations within scale, position and rotation mutual.Īnother step in the video was improving the geometry. It opens a window similar to the one where the Material Nodes are in Blender: Although, it was still a good practice, because it taught me that there is a way to connect a few effectors, using one of the Cinema 4D tags, called xPresso tag. I haven’t reached the final result from the video, because it included a material created in another tutorial (which I will get back to at some point too). Now you can delete the history, or keep it so that you can change the pol圜ube valuesĢ.This tutorial involved some practices I’ve already been doing in the past, like MoExtrude, but also introduced me to Polygon Deformation, xPresso tag and Mesh Deformer. Select the object and go to Mesh > Smooth (suggested division iterations: 2)ĥ. You can stop scaling when the cube starts to look spherical.Ĥ. Drag your mouse to the right to scale the deformer up.
With the sculpt deformer selected, press R for the scale tool. If your cube is bigger than your deformer, you will need to scale your deformer up. Under the animation menu module, go to Create Deformers > Sculpt Deformerģ. Create a cube (suggested: 10 units in width, height, and depth 2 subdivisions for each)Ģ. Add a spherify modifier to the resulting spheroidġ. Adjust TurboSmooth so that it has 3 subdivisionsĤ. Here’s how you can accomplish this quickly in each of the major 3D applications.Ģ.

The distortion is a direct result of the fact that it’s a curved surface where the pole exists.Īs such, a far better approach is to build a quad sphere, which not only eliminates this pole problem entirely, but is completely CheckMate Pro v2 compliant. Moreover, it can’t simply be fixed by removing every other edge that’s converging to that one vertex to make the pole faces quads. Press Shift A to add a UV sphere ico sphere cylinder cone or torus. While the effect is subtle, you should be able to see the faint star pattern within the normal sphere at the poles where the lighting and reflections get distorted as the sphere is subdivided. There are many ways to subdivide stuff in Cinema 4D. You can see the ridges with a chrome material applied also. Do a little touch up painting (or stamping.
Then use the Polar coordinates effect (rect to polar) and that will show you what the image will look like mapped on a sphere (from the top down).
Change the image size so that its square (yes it will distort). Little ridges are created at the top of the sphere. Find the texture you like (Brian is right ratio should be 2:1) then take it into Pshop. You can see how the Polygonal Sphere’s smoothing causes problems once a shader is added. When the spheres are smoothed, they both deform in different ways.

By itself, a standard sphere does not seem to pose any problems, but when it comes time to subdivide, the differences in polygon density at the equator and at the poles produces pinching, and squashes the sphere around the equator.Ĭlick any screenshot below for full resolution.Ĭomparison of a Polygonal Sphere and a Quad Sphere The default sphere is problematic because of the two poles.

We’re going to go over how to make a quad sphere in 3ds Max, Maya and Cinema 4D, for CheckMate Pro v2.
