C4D's /:

[Chelseaa]

Okay, I believe this goes here, so I'll hope it does. To keep it short : I'm afraid of C4D's. I know, I know. I see them used in a lot of works, but I always think I'm not using the right one, or something silly like that. I've tried to find tutorials on using C4D's for a beginner, because I'd like to learn, but I guess I'm using sites too advanced for me because they always jump right in and tell me to use an Effect C4D, or something like that. I don't even know what an Effect C4D is! D: I've never used these before, and I didn't think it would be that hard, but man -- I'm having one difficult time with them.

I'll see if the Tutorial section on here has anything, but has anyone else ever had this problem? And if / if not, how do I "fix" this "problem"? x:

You get C4D's from websites.

Like deviantart, and other places.

When you use C4D's you're supposed to be smart with then and not just throw them out there.

I personally am still a noob at using C4D's but im getting the hang of it.

I never "threw them out there". I tried to find good positioning when I used them, but even with that I feel like I don't choose the right ones.

I still don't feel comfortable around them, though. I try to make what I make look as best as it can, and I can't do that if I feel what I'm doing looks completely wrong. x:

You're supposed to use gradient mapping to help them blend in with the render and set them to a blending option and all this other stuff.

I can show you one sig i did with C4D's but it isnt that great.

It's fine, I won't be able to see it as I have to go soon.
I'll just .. try another Tutorial and hope I get better results, or don't quit after I think I mess up.

If you want to learn how to use C4Ds yourself, (that's how i did it.) then kust open a good looking C4D, and frig with it. Then save it and post it. It's actually quite hard to make a C4D look horrible.

Thankyou for those links, FMK.
I'll be checking those out. [:
I've seen what can be done with C4D's, and I think it's amazing, so I'll try to incorporate some of them into my next work.

By the way, are you Registered on CozmaGFX?
I think I saw you.

Thanks again.

Or don't use c4ds at all. Go into your own style. duck everything else.

I have a quick question.
When choosing one or more C4D's, what am I looking for in them so that they go well with my signature?
