Cinema 4d Question

[sonnyz]

Hi, How would i duplicate an object but make it a mirror of the duplicated one.
Also, how would i fillet only one edge or a cube

Thanks all :)

The easiest way to mirror an object is to drop that object into a Symmetry Object.

To fillet only one edge of a cube you'll need to make that cube editable then use the Polygon Tool to select that one side only then fillet it.

To duplicate and mirror, use the negative scale trick.
Duplicate your object, then scale it in what every axis you want by -1. That mirrors it.

Interesting trick Nocturn, I'll have to try it out. =)

Thanks for your help guys, i will try your suggestions out.

Well this is my progress so far on this tanky looking thing, note im very nooby:b: ANy suggestions is welcome, i think it lokks abit cluttered, what do you guys think?

Looks pretty good:) Some of the things on it don't look solid enough to be on a tank though. Like the support for those mini-gun looking things, the cylinder is way to thin to support it.

hmmm.. true, good observation Nocturn :). I will change that, not now though, to tired :(

You might want to experiment with textures. Apply a texture with a lil bit of a bump will add imperfections to the metal so that your tank doesn't look too generic and will make it more realistic.

sonnyz how hard is it to make something like that? I just started learning Cinema 4D and I hope that I will be able to make something like that in the near future.
