I am not a C4D users but I suspect like most 3D modeling, you are not likely to find CAD data to input to create your car. I would recommend doing a Google search for Cinema 4D car tutorial. You will get a number of hits. Some will be helpful, others won't. Some will make it look simple (a few steps) but it won't be. Creating a car in any software, that I am aware of, is a major undertaking and best suited to software like C4D, 3D Max, Modo. Forget about doing it in CAD applications like AutoCAD and TurboCAD.matt_lorenzi wrote:Can someone give me a quick rundown on how one would use something like C4D to render say a car?
Someone mentioned inputting the CAD data? Would this then give you the surfaces, and then you put them together in a 3D space? What if no CAD data is available, how would someone proceed in creating the same car in C4D?
Here is a fairly intense tutorial from 2005 to create a chevy.
