Cinema 4D

Anyone made a Sculptie map for Cinema 4D yet?

Cinema 4D is a great!. But there's no sculpty making script available for it yet. Booo!

Another issue is that it's not possible to create a sculpty friendly sphere in Cinema 4D because it doesn't allow you to specify the exact number of horizontal and vertical faces of a sphere. But you could always import a sphere from another program into Cinema 4D, then shape it and export it back into another application that has sculpty support.

Where there's a will...

There is an tutorial how to make sculpties with Cinema 4D (german), but it is not really easy to follow what is going on.

Yeah, I saw that later.

I did manage to figure it out and even got myself a sculpty out of it. But it has limitations. One limitation I can clearly remember was that your objects have to be below a certain size.

I've attached the C4D sculpty material to this post. Just apply it to your object and bake out the texture.

I also figured out later that it is possible to create sculpty friendly objects in Cinema 4D by using NURBS and then converting them into mesh objects. This is because when using NURBs you can specify the number of points in their splines, which then equate to vertices when the NURB is converted into a mesh object.
