Diamonds are forever, Diamonds...Take her breath away, Diamonds....yeah, that'll shut her up......for a minute.

Anyway I followed the tutorial from this link here:

In my rendition, i skipped a few things he mentioned as they seembed pointless to me, anyway yeah, enjoy.

PS, Not for complete beginners as I made it pretty quick, but those of you that know the basics should understand.

Will this work in R13?

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Feb 17, 2013

no idea, I don't have the money to upgrade and I haven't bothered with the demo either. SOrry mate.

ShifuYaku Featured By Owner Feb 17, 2013 Student General Artist

Oh, that's fine! I finished the artwork, actually, you can check out my final piece on my page

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Feb 22, 2013

How did you find my tutorial anywhoo? this tutorial is like, beyond ancient. XD

ShifuYaku Featured By Owner Feb 23, 2013 Student General Artist

Probably Google search... I was looking for a good diamond tutorial because the one I found first, didn't quite have good enough directions. So I really thank you for putting up this one!

Dude, This tutorial is like the holy grail

You answer questions in such an old video which bothered me for so long.

I didnt knew you can model the same way as in 3DS with the cut and remove ngons way.
And that cylinder thing with optimizing... I was certain cinema had weaknesses and I never found anything in the more recent tutorials and
you answer such huge questions just like that like X years ago.

I was just so amazed right now. Watching the first 2 minutes of a video and have 2 game changing things shown just like that after 3 years of C4D usage

Applause

edwirdude Featured By Owner Jun 5, 2012

Nice Tuto, great texture, you make it look real easy.

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Jun 11, 2012

yeah, oddly enough I can't get this effect with R12 that we use at school, hell, most of the things I did in R9 and R10, i Can't do at school and it does annoy me since quite honestly, I don't like the *new better* things in the newer versions. Well hope you got it to work fine for ya. ^^

NewViirus Featured By Owner Jul 12, 2012

Found any other way to create such a texture?
didn't work @ R12

HelP?

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Jul 14, 2012

No idea, I haven't got the money to upgrade so I haven't had any real chance to experiment with the newer versions, also don't have the time to take classes for it at the moment either.

Maybe you can try asking on c4dcafe.com

NewViirus Featured By Owner Jul 15, 2012

edwirdude Featured By Owner Jun 5, 2012

Great work, I had a few months ago a request for a diamond figure, but my result didn't come out so good as yours. Nice Tuto.

This is awesome, thanks it helped me quite a lot a while ago.

I was just wondering, what file format was this tut when you uploaded it to da?

I'm finding it difficult to upload vids or animations. >_> (yes i am aware of the Flash file type, I was wondering if there were others?)

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Sep 11, 2011

The format is SWF, I have video permissions now but it's limited duration to like 5 minutes, tutorials are so much longer.

good my boyfriend is into computers. But now there's left to me to get to know it >.>
it looks so hard !

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

photoshop is easy to learn, especially with the invention of youtube!, and other nice people on here sharing their skills. just learn whatever, and after a while of learning random things, you'll eventually be able to just mash them all together and create your own style.

Kawaii-x-Stock Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

i'll start tonight

*goes beging to boyfriend for ps*

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

goodluck!, get your boyfriend to help you get started, since he's good with computers, it may be easier for him to get started with it.

Kawaii-x-Stock Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

that looks hard to do :/

hmoob-phaj-ej Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

xD, yeah, everyone has something that they are extremely good at, and yours is fashion and real life...lol, xD. thanks for watching! this is 3d, 2d is paint or in the previous case, photoshop.

Kawaii-x-Stock Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2009

i wanna be good at ps !

i want to make art of my own studio pictures i'm always so jealous when someone uses a picture of mine, makes it very pretty and knowing i can't do that myself
