Cinema 4d to VVVV using COLLADA: exporting 3d models, textures, animations & control in real-time

Tutorial takeover by evvvvil: The complete workflow tutorial for preparing 3d models in Cinema 4d to export in COLLADA format for real-time control using VVVV. Export 3d models with textures (picture textures, cinema 4d generated materials and bodypaint 3d) and also animations: including how to bake dynamics and bake mograph animations using expresso. Also you will learn how to import and control your models and animations in VVVV with example patch explained. evvvvil 00:00:00 Introduction & example 00:01:26 Basic models & textures 00:03:39 Project units & scale 00:05:09 Introducing Pedro 2.0 00:06:43 VVVV patch to import COLLADA 00:12:13 Flattening models 00:14:09 More complicated models 00:18:35 Flattening more complicated models 00:20:11 COLLADA keeps centre point 00:22:34 Exporting models at the correct scale 00:26:07 Preparing models: summary 00:31:40 Adding more controls in VVVV 00:34:46 Using materials created in Cinema 4d 00:40:33 Baking textures 00:46:44 Using bodypaint 00:53:21 Polygon selection textures 00:58:27 Animated models export limitations 00:59:27 Exporting dynamics animations 01:01:52 Exporting more complex dynamics 01:05:50 Controlling animation playback in VVVV 01:07:39 Exporting animations generated by mograph effectors, baking mograph animations 01:20:42 A word on bones and skinning Thank you for watching. evvvvil Further information on bones & skinning, check out tekcor animatedcharacter contribution: google "animatedcharacter vvvv" it's the animatedcharacter (assetDB) result Thank to Mike for the "russian trick", here is the original tutorial in russian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KZVQaPfOd4
