I was wondering if there was a way on cinima 4d to create a 3d modle using a 2d image. Like a way to trace it and then extrude or something. Can you post a link of a turial if there is one.




thanks
Paul

might get a better response posting in the cinima 4d section below

there are,
but method depends greatly on the complexity of the object your trying to trace and the purpose.

For background figures, f.ex. i would just "billboard" them, or map them on a primitive.
For other cases, like airplanes you would need top view, side view, frontview and ev. a perspective view for reference, then you would try to start with drawing splines or polygones, following the views.
There are maybe even other methods...

edit:
this is the right section;
i deleted the post in the c4d section, as this is a request and not a tutorial...
dont always listen to the old guys ...
