As this is important for many users, please check whether the link in the Tips&Tricks forum is OK; please update me by private message if anything is to be added/removed/updated.

It is included in ArchiCAD 8.0/8.1 and I give a reference to it on the tutorial site. It's not mine, but it is accessible for every ArchiCAD 8 user and is a bit bigger then the projects I use to do, so might reflect real office situation better.

Come on, it's not so bad.

You wouldn't want to see a Skyscraper or dull office building tutorial, do you?

Can you rephrase your question?

You mean billboards: in Cinema4D they can be made by creating a plane, making a material using alpha-mapped pictures.

Addition: I also applied the same picture into the Color channel and disabled the Specular channel.

You might assign it into the Luminance channel to prevent the material being influenced by lighting if you want.

Ok, i will try to explain in tihs way


I created a wall i ac and that wall is wood from all sides. Then i export it to 3ds and open it in c4d. That wall is recognize as wood and thats ok. Now i want to set inner side of wall to be brick, outher side to be green. How will i do that.

In artlantis that task will be accomplish very easy, i will go to "windows" then to "reapply materials" and there i have options:planes, paralel planes, object, materials

Try to set up materials in AC for "inwall" & "outwall" - keep the material name 8 characters or less. Apply them to the walls in AC as inside material and outside material. Export using materials as option and see if you can see them separately in C4D.
