Lynda - Up and Running with Bodypaint in CINEMA 4D

BodyPaint is a subset of tools and layouts inside CINEMA 4D that allow artists to paint and texture their 3D models. These tutorials aim to teach CINEMA 4D users how to use BodyPaint to enhance your 3D pipeline.

Author Thanassis Pozantzis covers a wide set of techniques, from material projections and generating UV maps to UV unwrapping, both for hard surface models (such as packaging and mechanical objects) to organic models (including humans, monsters, and animals). Start here to learn how to incorporate BodyPaint into your production workflow.

Topics include:

Everything you need to know about material projections  

Creating and editing UV maps  

Simple 3D painting  

Working with texture brushes  

Setting up a project in the BodyPaint interface  

Unwrapping UVs, from cubes to bananas  

Hard-surface model unwrapping  

Organic model unwrapping
