Ok here is my first real "tutorial". It shows different ways to change/replace materials in cinema4D. Most of them are basic, but it's a good lessons for beginners, and maybe you'll find something you didn't knew. Sorry for text and images timing... once more it'll be fixed once i'll use audio.

Work of november 2011
A work I did @ work, the goal was to seduce and show to future workers what would look like their office building. This is in Charleroi / Belgium.
There was quite a lots of issues due to the massive vegetal walls. I used lots and lots of proxies and some compositing to dodge RAM leaks ... Total rendering time about 1500 hours.

Automatic diffuse.jpg + alpha.jpg to TIF
When you buy collections of plants, people, trees or whatever on the web, you often receive (for a reason of web transfert I suppose) 2 JPGS, one with alpha and the other with diffuse... So to get a transparent TIF, you first need to open the diffuse, put the alpha on it, select channel, delete, save ... etc etc ... ok for 1, let's say 2, 3 , 10 images... but when there are hundreds, it's a real timeloss ... Here is a little script that'll quickly do the job for you ... Let's see it in action first :
Well sorry, no audio yet, but it'll come soon !
Ok ... For those who are still interested, there is a little setup to do first ...but once it's done... it's really quick.

Little bit of nostalgia with my 2008 matte painting & FX demoreel :)

Resize and Replace plugin
What the hell is that ?
Easy : when working in animation with Vray and C4D 11.5, netrender is only working in meters, but many, many of my library's object presets were scaled in cm.
This plugins (very simple) instantly resizes by 1/100 and moves the object at the origin of the scene.
The real advantage is to associate it to a shortcut, and when importing 100x too big objects, a simple keystroke reduces it.
I use it every day. I know units system has been improved in C4D R12, but I still have lots of projects in 11.5.
Simply unpack it in your plugin folder and use C4D command manager to assign a shortcut.
