Model a Mac 10 in C4D
Learn how to model the infamous drive by shooter! the Mac 10 in Cinema 4D. The video tutorial will show you step by step how to create this naughty weapon of choice for all your homeboy's.
Joking aside! I spent quite a few hours grafting the mesh for this model, although a few parts of the weapon could have been tackle differently.
Please excuse my annoying voice! I might sound a little nervous as it is the first time I have recorded with a microphone.
Here you will find the reference image I used for this project... Go Mac Daddy
Anyway I hope this helps anyone who is interested in modelling weapons or is new to Cinema 4D.
Ps: Part four of the tutorial! i had problems with the file size... just so you know it's being uploaded.

NaviCam For C4D
NaviCam - Cinema4D Plugin from Holger Biebrach on Vimeo.
NaviCam is a Plugin for Cinema4D. It enhances the camera-navigation inside the editorview vastly. Just point with your mouse on any spot in your scene, NaviCam will jump right to that spot, centers it and sets the camera-pivot. Editing a 3D-scene becomes faster and makes more fun.
If you have ever worked with a SpaceMouse, you know how an improved camera-navigation can speed up your workflow. Think about the amount of time you spend moving and rotating your camera-view. The advantage of NaviCam is, that you don´t need any hardware device, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard.
But even in combination with a SpaceMouse, NaviCam works perfectly and turns it into a powerfull team-play.

Kilibee Utility Materials
These are a great couple of materials you can use for checking the following:
* Check Normal Orientation renders Polygons with inverted normals in pink. Helpful for models with huge polygon count
* Check Overlap helps finding holes, hidden faces, and duplicate faces
* Check Reflection Angles maps Fresnel angles to colors. Stops guesswork for Fresnel ranges
* Check Reflections displays a number of stepped gradients on the model. Great for checking surface continuity
* Check UV displays the UV mapping with my UC Check image
* Render Normal Map renders out the surface normal for the use as normal maps
