How to Quickly Create a Topographic Map in Cinema 4D

Learn how to create a topographic map in Cinema 4D with this comprehensive 35-minute tutorial. Begin by setting up a Landscape Object and slicing it into layers. Generate splines from the sliced layers and extrude them to create topographic levels. Explore lighting techniques and apply a colorful texture based on height using XPresso. For Cinema 4D R17 users, discover how to use the Spline Smooth tool for rounder edges. Cover topics including render splines, gradient creation, expression linking, interactive render regions, specular and reflectance settings, sampling, camera setup, color grading, and spline connection. Perfect for 3D artists and designers looking to enhance their Cinema 4D skills and create visually striking topographic maps.
