Here are a couple of images from one of my W.I.P models.
I used to regularly share my W.I.P. images on a forum I frequented called 3D Attack (a Cinema 4D Community & Magazine). (more…)

Using The New Axis Handles in Cinema 4D (R13)
Cinema 4D R13 has a few new features that really make the workflow much easier. The axis manipulation tools are definitely at the top of that list.
In this short screen capture, I show a quick use for the aforementioned feature as I try to scale a row of points to meet an existing edge of geometry. (more…)
Motorcycle Tire Study
There are a few strange aspects of motorcycle tires (sport bike tires specifically). First off, they curve on two different axes simultaneously. Secondly, they usually have intricate tread patterns that seem to have been carved by a tattoo artist; modeling the treads on them is tricky to say the least.
The best approach I’ve found is to not model the treads. Traditionally I’ve used normal mapping or simply bump mapping along with a slight variance in the color map. This weekend I decided to give it another shot: I created an intricate tread pattern (more…)
3D Type – Disconnected
Here’s a quick preview of my latest 3D fiddling. I wanted to create a piece based on type and a concept. The concept I came up with was the word disconnected and the associated movement that comes along with it. (more…)

Beeple Scene Files
This post will be a really quick one:
A while back, Beeple made a bunch of his C4D Scene files Free! This means that if you’re learning C4D or are a veteran and just want to see how other folks do it these will be like gold to you.
Head on over to Beeple’s Site and get the files:
