Thank you I hope you continue
:)
Thank you for the kind words.
Hi! you traduce this:
La razón por la cual cinema 4d te pega el spline abajo a la derecha es porque reconoce la coordenada 0 / 0 de la regla del ilustrator como el centro del espacio en cinema4d, entonces si tu haces cualquier spline en ilustrator, por ejemplo una botella, y deseas que el cinema ya te lo pegue como si la botella estuviese apoyada sobre el piso, que seria tu cero en cinema , pues debes colocar el spline de la botella sobre una línea guía puesta en el cero de tu ilustrator !
espero puedas entenderme ya que es un secreto que no muchos saben y la verdad es muy útil
Saludos !
PD: dejé el tutorial para comentarte esto pero ahora lo retomo! está muy bueno !

Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
You’re very welcome. And thank you for the kind words.
amaaazin tutorial thank you so much for explaining every step of the video
You’re very welcome.
Nice !
When you draw in Illustrator, the top left corner of the document will be the center of the world in Cinema 4D. That's why your splines need to be centered in the scene. If you want to avoid this you can center your drawing on the top left corner of the Illustrator document. It's no problem if the drawing is partialy out of the working area. It will be imported anyway. ;)
Noice! Thank you! Always wondered why it did that. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle... "G.I. Jooooooooe!").
Great! 🥰
Best video ever...
come back 😢
Thank you! And I promise, I am coming back.

that was extremely beneficial , thank you so much
Thank you for the kind words. You’re most welcome. 🙏🏾
really nice tuts...
Thank you, Hake.
Thanks for lesson # 1. But I don't know English and at 16:40 I didn't understand what you clicked. It's good when the keys are lit on the side. I will also learn English (translated from Google)
Сool, I learned the english alphabet with transcription. ctrl + A
Thank you so much for the recommendation, I’ll be sure to make that a part of production, moving forward. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much
You're very welcome
I am not savy in AI but tried my best following the drawing of the package. Still when I import the doc to c4d and extrude the splines these are kind of empty...It would be very helpfull if I could have the ai file....can anyne provide this?
Hi Natalie, if you’d like, feel free to email me directly, and I’ll respond with the AI file you’re referring to.
Great start. Easy to follow...just when is part 2 coming? thx
Hi Roberto,

Thanks for your patience. I'll be uploading the remaining 3 today as well.
That’s awesome, not only me but many people will appreciate it this. Thanks so much for your time and effort keeping this tutorial running, Superb!.
Thanks a lot! you got sub!
Cheers! Welcome.
Amazing video but are you still active on this channel? If so I'd really appreciate some help
Hi Florian, thanks for the kind words. And yes, I’m still active, although I haven’t uploaded any new content yet. Was taking a hiatus from the channel, as my mother passed away last year, and I needed the time away for my own mental health.
With that said, (and apologies if that’s TMI), I’d be more than happy to help, however I can. What do you need help with?
@Colorcubic My condolences, I cant even imagine the feeling. Genuinely hope you're doing better. And I know I'm just some stranger on the internet but just from watching this series I can tell that you are a genuine likeable guy :) (with great teaching skills)
And I'll get back to you with the problem, its getting late where I am right now
Greetings from Switzerland and best wishes
Florian
I really appreciate the consideration & kindness, Florian. 🙏🏾
Exellent explanation i like your tutorials keep going 8), the cinema 4d needs ai 8 version cus, its the last version of illustrator that is postscript, after all the version of illustrator doesnt save file in postscript vrs. 8)
Thanks for the kind words. And I wasn’t aware that was the reason. Good to know. Cheers!
great! part two?
Thanks, Lisandro.

You've got a follower in Moscow now : )
Thank you!
You're welcome. And thanks for subscribing.
Maybe my question would sound lame, but how do you know the correct measurements between the smart guides? Thanks
Can you rephrase your question? I'm not certain I understand clearly.
Great tutorial. But there are some videos for packaging, in which they are using fold my design preset. I can not find that preset in my preset panel. Where can I find that?
That’s an excellent question. Unfortunately I have no idea where it is, which is why I created these tutorials. I needed a solution, so I had to just create one on my own. Figured others might run into the same problem, so I figured a tutorial was in order. It’s a lengthy process, but there’s a lot to learn from it all. Thanks for the kind words, btw. I appreciate it.
@@Colorcubic yeah. Thanks for the reply. This tutorial really helped me.
I’m really glad to hear that. Cheers!
AWESOME FUCKING VIDEO THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
when i'm select children and press C key, the object is gone? can you help me what going on?
Try selecting children twice. If you do it twice, and then press the C key, it should work.
when I press the C key to convert it, I lose the surface of the package and only lines show... What is happening?
You need to ensure that you right-click the object first, and then select "select all children". And then press the C key again. You need to do this twice, and then right click again, select "select all children", and then right click again, and select "connect object + delete".
@@Colorcubic Hi, first things thank you for the amazing Videos, the I wont to ask whay do you repit twice "select all children" and press C key, and what does the C key to the objeckt? Thank you!
Hi @Silvia Schindler, for this process to work, Cinema 4D requires you to select of the objects that are placed / nested within the Null object. All the objects nested in the Null object are referred to as “children”. In fact, any object nested within another object is referred to as the “child” or “children” of the parent object that houses those nested objects. Pressing the “C” key converts any object into an editable object. The reason I repeat this step twice is because Cinema 4D converts the parent object first, and then the children objects nested. “Connect + Delete” converts all of the objects into 1 object with all the individual components optimized within the 1 object.
@@Colorcubic thank you so much!!!
You’re very welcome. Let me know if you run into any other roadblocks. Cheers! ✌🏽
Hey!
Great work there!
One question though: how on earth did the curvy part of your spline did stay one polygon?
Thanks in advance!
after closer inspection, what i see is that (in my project) some polygons didn't get subdivided while some did - seemingly arbitrarily
aaah, the answer is: n-gons!
You got it
im having this issue too. What was the fix? n-gons is selected in the extrude nurb...
i cannot import the illlustrator file, when i select the Ai file and click open,the Ai file is not coming to C4D 12:05 is not coming.What is the issue?
Are you saving your illustrator file down as version 8? If not, that would explain why it's not importing into Cinema 4D.
Hi I'd like to ask something. The UVW tag doesn't appear after the Connect object + delete. I wonder why
Hi Lon, that's strange. I wonder why as well. What version of Cinema 4D are you using?
Colorcubic I think its R13. but no worries its ok now. thanks for the reply anyway! great tutorial 😁
looks like i'm facing the same problem here, and i'm using R13 too, how do you solve this?
I have the same problem, how did you solve it?
@@adriandrakaruniawan2824 I'd recommend you select children twice, and then finally connect objects + delete.
13:11 You never gonna hear a black man say this for 500.
🤣😂🤦🏽♂️
