Photorealistic models are a lot of fun, but they can take literal days to mold, polish, and perfect. Sometimes, your project just doesn't require that level of detail. Even more, some project work better with simple, stylized figures. What if you could spend more time focusing on the animating rather than the creation of your 3D assets?
This is an exclusive look at one of the lessons learned in our Workshop "The Essential Ingredients to Creating Stylized 3D", featuring the enchanting animations of Jonathan Lindgren. While the Workshop focuses on putting your work in front of the right people to land big jobs, Jonathan has a few great tips for how simple 3D models can speak volumes for your projects, and we couldn't keep those kinds of secrets any longer. This is just a sneak peek at some of the amazing lessons Jonathan has in store, so grab order up some nigiri, garlic edamame, and about a metric ton of those chicken pot stickers. It's time to make some sushi.
Jonathan Lindgren (01:10): So I am this like small little trick that I, that I really enjoy using when I'm, when I'm modeling. Uh, so for example, for this cutting board is where I've used that. So as you can tell, this cutting board has a very like smooth, the coroner's smooth edge and everything, but it still has a very graphic shape, which is what I wanted. So I'm just going to go ahead and display our lines here so we can see our topology. And I'm going to go ahead and deactivate this subdivision surface. So this is how the actual extraordinary abs looks and, um, usually what's blinds. The default is the adaptive intermediate sampling, which just means that, I guess, I guess it just means that the cinema places out points along the spine where it's necessary. So for example, the rounded corners, but if you're doing this, you're not going to get like even topology around, around the edges and that kind of stuff, which is usually what you want when you want to smooth objects out in cinema.
Jonathan Lindgren (02:08): So if you just hit uniform, you can decide how many points a cinema will just distribute along display uniformly. So I've set this to 40 because then I get like a good rounding, uh, around a corner for this shopping board. And in the extruded nerves, the, the default setting here is usually the end gone, which means that it will not have any geometry on the flat surface of the extra nerves. And if I would go ahead and smooth this out, you would get this, which is a visual nightmare. Like you, you did not want this, uh, if you want a smooth surface. So if you, instead on this, go ahead and deactivate this again. If you go to regular grid, you can decide the size of the core. So you actually also have to hit quad dominance. So to make sure that you get, you're getting the quads and the triangles, and I've set this to, I think it was 1.3.
I want to make the most of using 3D models in PowerPoint, and I'm looking for a good workflow for this with Cinema 4D. Specifically, I'd like to know the ideal file type (.fbx, .obj or something else), and my materials don't display in PowerPoint accurately. The default lighting is lacking, too. I'm sure I'm doing a few things wrong, but I can't seem to find any solid documentation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I've been having a lot of difficulty finding documentation on this myself, so wanted to share the results of my experiments. I would rate my C4D skills as maybe a 4 out of 10, and I've been fumbling in the dark when it comes to bringing 3D models into PPT, so this information may not be 100% accurate.
But ultimately I was left with a what's-the-point? reaction. It looks way better to just finish your C4D animations as an .mp4 that plays on click in PPT, or render out stills. Once you get the 3D model into PPT, it's not possible to make any edits or swap any textures without round-tripping to C4D, so there's not much of a workflow benefit to keeping the models in PPT. Pre-rendered video gives a bigger wow factor. The audience doesn't particularly care whether PPT is rendering in real time.

Other than being able to use Blender-specific operations to models created in C4D, the utility of transferring models from Cinema 4D to Blender is particularly apparent when your project is destined for rendering on a render farm. This transition is not just a matter of necessity for projects that use Blender as the main rendering software. Rendering with Blender can also be a game-changer in terms of efficiency and cost.
1. Enhanced Compatibility with Render Farms: Many render farms favor Blender due to its open-source nature and robust community support. However, there are services such as ours that have robust Blender and Cinema 4D render farm support. By transferring models to Blender, you can take advantage of a wider range of render farm options, often at a more competitive price point.
7. File Size and Portability: Blender files can be more lightweight compared to Cinema 4D, especially when dealing with complex scenes or high-poly models. This makes it easier to transfer and manage files, particularly when dealing with the constraints of a render farm's data transfer capabilities.
FBX is another popular choice for exporting 3D models from Cinema 4D. A proprietary Autodesk format, FBX files include more advanced data types such as animation strips, lights, cameras, and even splines.
USD is designed to improve on the Alembic format as a way to transfer both a higher volume of 3D data and more advanced 3D data. While Alembic works best for transferring static 3D scenes, USD can integrate directly with your 3D pipeline, making it perfect for moving 3D models back and forth between software. While support for USD in Cinema 4D is still in its infancy, the format will be an important format to watch as it develops.
As workflow tools like Universal Scene Description gain traction in the Cinema 4D and Blender communities, transferring 3D models will only get easier over time. But in the meantime, hopefully, this guide has provided you with the know-how to efficiently move 3D models for your needs, no matter how complex your 3D project might be.
When working with digital cinema camera RAW codecs I prefer to work in Davinci Resolve which has the ability to isolate or qualify specific areas of the image which Noise Reduction can be applied to without affecting other areas.
In addition Professional digital cinema RAW formats such as Arriraw, Sony X-OCN, Redcode RAW, Blackmagic RAW, Canon RAW etc require both a high performance GPU and CPU workstation for the debayer and decoding process.
Since VEAI already requires a high performance GPU the additional processing stress to debayer digital cinema RAW formats would be very tasking and counter productive for some users except for those who have high performance workstations with the necessary CPU and GPU(s).
For professional users who work with digital cinema RAW formats on a daily basis a faster and more streamlined post production set of hardware and software products already exist such as Davinci Resolve, Baselight, Assimilate Scratch etc which offer advanced denoise and color grading in a more robust and intuitive workflow.

The Apple Cinema Display name was retired in July 2011 with the introduction of the Apple Thunderbolt Display, and the Cinema Display models were no longer offered on the Apple Store website as of August 2014.
On June 28, 2004, Apple introduced a redesigned line of Cinema Displays, along with a new 30-inch model that, like the 23-inch model, carried the "Cinema HD Display" name. The new models had an anodized aluminum enclosure that matched Apple's high-end lines of professional products. An alternative stand or a wall mount could be used with a VESA mount adapter kit that was sold separately. Though the display enclosures had not been redesigned for a long period of time, several "silent" improvements were made to the brightness levels and contrast ratios.[2]
All Power Mac G5, PowerBook G4 15 or 17-inch, and Mac Pro mid-2006 to mid-2010 models are capable of supporting it without the use of any adapters. Discrete MacBook Pros are also capable of driving the 30-inch display, while all Macs released after October 2008 require an additional adapter. The 30-inch Cinema Display was introduced together with the GeForce 6800, which supports two DVI-DL ports. ATI's aftermarket AGP X800 Mac Edition also supports dual-link DVI, but has only one port. The Radeon 9600 Mac/PC was another aftermarket graphics card that supported dual-link DVI and was also compatible with older AGP-based Power Macs.
On October 14, 2008, the 23-inch Cinema HD Display was replaced with a 24-inch model made with aluminum and glass, reflecting the appearances of the latest iMac, MacBook Pro and unibody MacBook designs. The display features a built-in iSight camera, microphone and dual speaker system. A MagSafe cable runs from the back of the display for charging notebooks. It is the first Cinema Display to use LED backlighting and Mini DisplayPort for video input; however, the LED backlighting is edge-lit as opposed to the fully back-lit CCFL of the previous models, resulting in a lower brightness cd/m2 output. This display is only officially compatible with Macs that have the Mini DisplayPort connector. A third-party converter must be used in order to use this display with older Macs.
