You know I like me some text tutorials! Here’s another one where I’ll teach you how to recreate a wood block or cast metal embossed type style and create it procedurally so it is easily edited and iterated without having to create a bump channel map for every letter or ever leaving Cinema 4D for Photoshop. Using this workflow, it’s possible to perfect the look of one type block and use it as a template for the other type blocks you need for your scene by simply duplicating it and changing the shape of the block and the letter or font.
Example:


Great tip buddy! Could have used this with that Military Channel project

Is this the new wood shader in R14?
Hi Lork-
No it’s just a wood texture I got from cgtextures.com
Hi Ed, there are no more playback controls on the vid ?
Not being harsh but it feels really uncomfortable not being able to scrub through and to see the actual lenght of it
That’s odd. The controls show up for me. I did change some options but ill change them back to the default settings. Thanks for watching!
