In a previous video, I gave you 5 simple but powerful tips to speed up your Cinema 4D workflow and save you valuable time on your projects. Today, we're going for V2, with 5 brand new C4D hacks to speed up your work! These 5 Cinema 4D shortcuts will save you hours of work.
In this tutorial you'll learn:
1. How to select hard-to-reach objects, like ones hidden behind other objects or behind glass. If you want to highlight this object you can hold down Ctrl and right-click while hovering over it. A dropdown menu will show up and include everything that is behind where you clicked. This is a way you could select an object easily that is behind a pane of glass for instance!
2 If you've ever wanted to move a Cinema 4D parent object but you don't want the children to move or rotate you can easily and temporarily disconnect the parent/child relationship by simply holding down the number 7!
3. If you have a massive scene or a very small scene and your scene or objects get cut off in a very strange way you are probably reaching the end of where your scene is being calculated. This is the clipping area. You can easily change the clipping in C4D by hitting Ctrl+D to open your settings. Then under display you can change the "View Clipping" setting to Large for a huge scene or Small for a tiny scene. This will solve your issue!
4. Learn how to drag ANY parameter onto your Viewport as a HUD slider. It's super useful and a great way to quickly animate any property without digging around in your hierarchy.
5. And for the final tip I'll show you how to store any object selection with the Selection Object. It's another really hidden but powerful workflow item you should know about.
I hope these tips help you in your work!
