//ABOUT ME
Hello, My name is Mert, I am a professional 3D artist with nearly 10 years experience, I have started to share all my knowledge with you, my main software is Cinema 4D and my professions are Modeling/Product Visualization/Shading/Lighting/Rendering/Compositing/Motion Graphics Based Animations.
Thank you! I love your tutorials, keep up the great work👏🏼🙏🏼
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.
I review your lessons 3-4 times. I do not get tired to admire your work method. Keep creating. Thank you for your knowledge.
Thank you :)
in these 15 minutes video I learned more than in any other hour-long tutorial on this topic, keep up buddy.😎👍
That's great to hear :)
More useful than some rather expensive multi chapter courses for sure
love your tutorials, great work!
the last tip
smoothing + Shrink Wrap
was NICE
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.
The best as usualy! 👍
Lots of great tips man. You're awesome.
Amazing work!!
Thank you for tutorial! Really clear and useful to know how to modeling!
Thanks for this. Informative and clear, this is a really well done lesson. The content is great too. I've been so intimidated by retopo and this really helped me get an understanding of how to approach it
Awesome, glad it helped :)
Very very very nice! Tutoriais que ajudam demais!
I'm glad I found your channel. Very useful material for me. Thank you for your tutorials
Thank you, welcome :)
Best modeling and c4d related channel in CZcams. 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).
Thank you very much, great to hear these!
@@polygonpen You are incredible teacher I must say and GOD BLESS YOU AND LOTS OF LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Thank you. Great tutorial
amazing teaching man
merci pour les tutoriels
Thanks for tutorial!
Great work! Thank you so much for this
Thanks :)
Thank you for this!!!
너무 감사합니다^^
Hi I am so glad for this tutorial as I asked about it a whiiiile back when you chanel was at like 5 K subs. Very very very awesome work only chanel I know is so dedicated to 4D and its workload and flow. I will sub to your patron to later this month.
Thank you :)
Before watching i know that is great... ^.^
Thank you Bro!!!
"Good Good Study,Day Day UP!" Thank you!
Niceeee Work!!
I learned a lot that I never knew, thank you very much
Great!
Thank you!
great tutorial,
4:44 enable backface culling
大佬啊，特地过来学习
thanks!!!
thanks a lot
best of best I've ever seen. Take love and continue if possible
Thank you very much :)
I politely request you to make a complete car using polygon pen tool
@@EasirVfx I wish that but that woul take probably 10+ hours
@@polygonpen That's true and very tough also. It can be a paid course obviuously because time is money.
I think pepole like your modeling style. I'm very excited to be honest.
@@EasirVfx I am thinking about that actually , after uploading this month's premium paid tutorial, I will make a car tutorial, probably only exterior though.
Was the high poly made in ZBrush (dynamesh?)? Would love to see you make a Zbrush to Cinema 4D workflow (rigging ready) video. Your videos are amazing. You describe things so clearly and beginner-friendly!
Thank you, original artist probably sculpt this in Zbush.
Thank again for another amazing tutorial!
How do you make sure your retop mesh lies on top of the high poly mesh? I can't seem to make the new mesh over the high poly
when you select polygon pen tool, enable ''reproject result''
@@polygonpen That worked! You are truly the best :)
Best Best Best
i just found you and i love you bro
Thank you :) welcome
Best channel ever 💯🙏
Nice tutorial. Can you please tell me your Poly Pen set up, mine sometimes works sometimes not working. Thank you
It might be buggy sometimes unfortunately, it is not just you.
It literally feels Like you are doing my demands :D
:D
Waiting for more octane stuff
I just purchased octane
@@talhazulqarnain2126 awesome, I will try to make some Octane tuts, can`t promise but will try after I upload my Vip tutorial this week.
Thanks a lot.. PLEASE we need some episodes about xpresso and how to use
I don't have much experience in Xpresso but maybe in the future
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.
wonderful arts
Would you use Remesh to retopo?
Yeah but but manuel retopo is always more accurate and more professional.
It's better to use Symmetry Object to save time and avoid possible issues like in the video.
Target object is not symmetrical!
Im begginer just 1 month ago, question! what dont use symetry to do polygons?
Object is not symmetrical, basically.
@@polygonpen ok! thank you for fast response!!
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?
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.
@@polygonpen thanks! the issue is that I kept the object selected.
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?
sence modelleme için cinema 4d kullanmak mantıklımı yoksa başka bir programmı tercih etmeliyiz tavsiyelerin nedir?
Farketmez,ne ile başladıysan devamet, ama ileride bir yerde çalışmak istiyorsan Maya daha çok kullanılır, Freelance taklıcam diyorsan Blender yada C4D daha mantıklı.
@@polygonpen cinema 4dde çok zorlanıyorum blendera başlayacağım fakat modelleme yaparken zorluk çekiyorum birşeyi modellerken nerden nasıl başlayacağımı anlamıyorum bazıları diyo topoloji bilmen lazım o şu bu falan kafam çok karışık ne öğrenecegimi bilemedim.
@@benburakk Zamala gelişirsin, belli bir süre izlediğin tutorialları taklit et, birebir aynısını yap anlamasanda, zamanla oturur, bir bakmışsın kendin modellemeye başlamışssın, Cinema 4D blender'dan daha kolay bu arada arayüz ve toollar olarak.
@@polygonpen cinema 4dnin arayüzü çok rahat evet ama blenderda modelleme ve sculpt yapmak daha rahat ve kolay dediklerini duydum
@@polygonpen ek olarak konuyla alakaız ingilizceni nasıl geliştirdin acaba bende ingilizce çalışan bir insan olarak vermek istdgn tavsiye yöntem varsa çok sevinirim
For some reason, when I use the polygon pen it does not create a new object in the object manager, but merges the polygon into the base object
Deselect any object in the object manager and use polygon pen one more time!
@@polygonpen Ok, that helped -thanks! I think I heard you say that in the video, but I just had not "deselected the object enough"!! Hovering the cursor over the object manager and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+A deselected the obejct.
@@slackdave You just need to click on the object manager, no need to use shortcuts!
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.
Noob question here:
Why not use Symmetry for the other half of the model?
Object is not symmetrical, left and right side are not identical, if so you can use symmetry of course!
That's the only way to relax de mesh???
Smoothing deformer, relax brush, smooth brush, these are relaxing tools.

So the secret was the X-ray now I can model
Yeah, without it, it is not much possible to retopo.
if you people were interested in 3D modeling, you would be the most popular
HAha thanks :)
Are you French or Turkish?
Turkish.

I am a C4D user, but honestly C4D's way to retopolgy is too bad.. I wish it gets better somehow
I don't know, it is not that bad, of course it is not that good compared to 3rd party programs and plugins but it gets the job done.
I love Cinema 4d, but their retopology is long and awful.
I don't know, it is almost the same with maya and maybe faster than it, I didn't use Blender for retopo but the concept is the same.
@@polygonpen the fastest and most convenient program for retopology is 3D Coat
