3D models store for the Maxon Cinema 4D community

1. Check what do you have to sell.

Browse your projects and list what you are ready to sell :

• Remove all copyrighted, brand-owned objects, artwork and logo.
  => create your own or a blank space for stickers...
• Remove all technical / confidential / industrial patented content (like REAL factory plants, plans).
  => turn real project to a fiction virtual one...
• Remove all spezial packaging, advertissing, famous-designer content (ie : no "Absolut Vodka" bottle).
  => edit your objet to a "generic" unknow one.
• Remove all content about racism, pornography...
  => creating 3d clothes is best value than nudity !

2. Check the scene.

• Check object hierarchy : clear and easy to understand.
• Do not convert "editable" C4D splines or primitives until necessary
  (keep copies in an hidden group).
• Group your object with a clever name.
• Remove anything useless (plugin...).
• Do not use text spline, convert, because C4D lost user font names.
• Remove unused texture.
• Check if you have unused bitmaps in unused texture channel.
• Replace copyrighted commercial textures !
  => use your own or generic one.

3. Prepare the preview picture.

• Prepare a render view in perpective view. Do not use HDRI, radiosity or external render except necessary.
• Do not cheat on your model !
• Add a blank background. Do not use background photos who add confusion about what is 3D and what is not.
• Adjust your C4D layout to 4 windows. Drag the middle to adjust prespective a little bit larger.
• Use Wireframe on top, side and front view.
• "Frame object" on each views.
• Move axis if some object inside hierarchy is outframed.
• Add a group to current object group, and name it "3dreservoir.com"
• Configure all windows to displays "Parent object" on C4D HUD.
• Select your object. It's name and 3dreservoir.com must be displayed on screen on each wiews.
• Unfold your model group to display your modeling techniques.
• Render your preview in perspective view.

4. Snapshot your preview picture.

• Take a snaphot of your C4D screen (use Alt-PrtScr on PC, use Capture on Mac) at 1024pixel wide.
• In a paint program (like PhotoShop or Fireworks or even Paint !) paste the screen and save it or export it as PNG format.

5. Prepare your C4D scene for download.

• Save your scene as project in a new clever name with no specials characters (*/=), no accents (àùôñ), no space.
• Check the result (filename.C4d+tex directory with textures).
• Write a little text about yourseld and plugin/version used.
• Zip all ! (unsing winzip or "Send to compressed directory...")
