In this tutorial, I will be covering the following, how to prep the next port.

And part two, I'm going to get a little bit more granular and demonstrate how easy it is to get a basic scene, export it out of cinema 4d and brought over into an unreal engine so that we can take care of lighting, texturing and final Polish. Jonathan Winbush (00:29): In part one of this video series and give you a glimpse into the power of unreal engine's real-time rendering and explain how studios like capacity and Stargate are using it to create incredible content beyond video games. Let's go Whatever, whatever, when boys here and today, I'm excited to show you guys how to make this And this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to export your scene from cinema 4D into unreal engine, so that you could utilize the power of real-time rendering. Rendering has the potential to change the landscape of motion design. The fbx exporter in R14 did have a bug with exporting multiple materials per object when R14 was released, however I believe they fixed this in recent updates.- Tutorial Full Transcript Below 👇: Use the normal C4D fbx exporter not the automated method as Thomas said. Whilst Unity lighting is not as advanced as C4D lights, you can achieve very good results with it. The BEAST lightmapper in Unity is so much quicker workflow to create lightmaps and if you need to edit them it is literally minutes compared to going back and editing your lightmaps in C4D, rebaking and then going through the Lightmap export again. Your maps will need to be too large to obtain a good resolution.ĭon't Lightmap in Cinema 4D unless you really need to achieve a very accurate light setup like with IES lights. Else you can UV map by hand in BodyPaint.ĭon't bother baking your textures. This will retain the mapping you currently have and change the Projection to UVW Mapping. Therefore if you are using Cubic, Spherical, Flat projection etc In your objects Texture Tag make sure with your Objects Texture Tag selected to then select Tags from the Attribute Mgr menu then click Genrate UVW Coordinates. Also make sure once baked that you Select your Material and then adjust the Editor setting (Attributes Mgr) to your new baked map size in order to view its correct resolution in the C4D viewport.įBX/Unity likes Objects to have UVW Mapping.

The blurring you get from baking is likely that your maps are not large enough and hence result in lower res output especially if you are comparing the quality against your original tiled materials.
