Workflows that make you say OH YEAAHH!
In celebration of National Kool-Aid Day, let’s look at kicking off a little 3D build from concept to execution.
For concepting, we’ll start inside
@OTOY Studio, using the ChatGPT 2 Image model to reinterpret the reference as an enamel pin. Then, we’ll pipe that result into another image node to generate clean, isolated 2D artwork with transparency.
Next, we dive briefly into Photoshop, where the transparency is converted into a vector path and exported to Cinema 4D. Because the spline comes directly from the artwork, everything lines up perfectly.
A few quick modeling tricks later, the pin is built. Materials, lighting and final look development are handled with
@OTOY OctaneRender.
Now the handoff.
Using the Cinema 4D
@rendernetwork Wizard, the finished scene is submitted directly to Render Network. The scene uploads, the job is configured in the Manager App, and all 180 frames are rendered in minutes.
Concept → artwork → vector → 3D → Octane → Render Network.
OH YEAAHH!
