Stylized Earth C4D Python Generator

3docean

Stylized Earth Python Generator is a Cinema 4D scene that enables quick creation of a unique representation of Earth by leveraging inspiration from dot matrix printing. Instead of ink dots, elements are created with mesh that wrap around a sphere. The size, shape, layout, and textures of these elements can be customized to produce many different designs. Python Generator Stylized Earth employs a Cinema 4D Python Generator in conjunction with User Data to generate geometry based on the grayscale levels of an image. This approach allows for precise control over the generated design. Polygon Selection Tags Internally, Stylized Earth creates Polygon Selection Tags, enabling separate Materials to be applied to front faces, extrude edges, and back faces. This functionality streamlines the material application process. UV Maps Accurate UVs are created by Stylized Earth, facilitating detailed texture painting. The generated UV maps allow for precise control over texture placement and appearance. Mograph Stylized Earth can be used in combination with a Mograph Cloner Object set to Object Mode. In this configuration, objects are cloned at the polygon centers of Stylized Earth, which is set to Disco Grid Mode. Sphere Grid Python Generator The download includes another Cinema 4D Python Generator that rapidly produces a grid with custom numbers of latitude and longitude lines. This generator internally sets up Sweep Objects with a custom contour spline. Sphere Grid Bitmap Script Additionally, the download includes a Python script designed for execution within Cinema 4D, which generates a bitmap with even width lines from north to south poles when projected onto a sphere. Product Information Stylized Earth Python Generator is compatible with Cinema 4D R16.050, R17, and R18 editions. It requires Cinema 4D Prime, Broadcast, Visualize, or Studio edition but is not compatible with the Lite edition. No additional plugins are necessary to use Stylized Earth. The Python Generators can be made editable for further modifications. The download includes html help files and all scenes from the preview video. An alternate version of the grass scene, which demonstrates use with Mograph, is included for Studio or Visualize editions of Cinema 4D. Special Notes A basic understanding of Cinema 4D texture paths is necessary to utilize Stylized Earth Python Generator effectively. Similarly, an understanding of how to execute Python scripts within Cinema 4D is required to use the Sphere Grid Bitmap Script. Stylized Earth Python Generator operates correctly with Team Render Server only when the setting "Clients Get Assets on Demand" is unchecked. If access to the server's settings is not possible, the Python Generator can be made editable before network rendering. Python Generators are not as fast as plugins written in c++. Depending on the number and complexity of elements generated, it may take a noticeable amount of time for the generator to build and cache the object.
