In This tutorial, I show you how to texture and light an Iron Man Suit in Cinema 4D using Texture Kit Pro, HDRI Studio Pack and Light Kit Pro. We will go over a few different ways to add more detail to your textures and how to light the scene for a heroic look. You can follow along by downloading the free Iron Man suit model here.
NAB 2013 was full of great presentations and tutorials at the Maxon booth and luckily Cineversity was there to record it all for us.
The presentations and tutorials covered everything this year… Sports Graphics, Xpresso, Python, Mograph, Illustrations, and of course, Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite. I hope you make time to watch all these great presentations. I didn’t get to see them all live, so I will be watching many of these right along with you. Enjoy.
With all the new announcements from Adobe and Maxon, we knew 2013 would be an exceptionally fun and exciting year at NAB. So, we sent Dave Kiss to capture and edit this big week down to the few minutes you see above. Watch NAB presenters from Maxon, Adobe, and Greyscalegorilla talk about the introduction of Cineware and what it means to be a part of the Cinema 4D community.
Easter may be long gone, but you can never get enough protein. Over-medium, scrambled, or fresh outta the chicken: show us your eggs in a 5 second animation.

It’s partly because we are a bit nuts, but it’s mostly because the fine folks at Red Giant asked us for some help with their spectacular new film, Spy vs Guy. We LOVED all the Seth Worely films over the last few years and couldn’t help but say “Heck Yeah!” to helping with their latest film. Chris Schmidt offered to help animate the films robotic bird and help crush a soda machine. He has a great knowledge of character animation and got the scenes animated, rigged, lit, and ready for composite in less than two weeks. Chris adds…
The deadline was already looming when we were asked to help tackle the pigeon in Spy Vs Guy but I’ve been a big fan of the Red Giant short films since the beginning, especially after seeing Seth give the keynote speech at the Media Motion Ball at NAB last year. It was really great to be able to just focus on the character and know I was passing it off to capable hands to be composited. It was especially fun to be able to do a little bit of character animation after being away from it for a couple of years. It has definitely inspired me to try and get a little bit of rigging and character animation onto Greyscalegorilla in the coming months.
Thanks again to Red Giant for the opportunity to help with Spy vs Guy. We hope to be able to break down more of these shots soon here on the blog. Be sure to look for Chris and Me point at the screen and laugh in the behind the scenes video above.
