BASIC APPLE TUTORIAL
This will be a basic apple tutorial for CINEMA 4D. I will guide you through my method of creating a simple apple
with a stem and two leaves and creating the textures. Let's get started!
First we will add a sphere to our scene and change the segments to 12 as shown above.

Next we'll drop the sphere into a hyper NURBS object as shown on the right above.

Next we'll begin to shape our apple by selecting the center point on top and moving it down a bit.
Then select a few points one by one around the top and move them upward to resemble the top of an apple.

Next we'll select the rectangle selection tool and uncheck "only select visible elements" on the lower
right in the attributes manager. In the "front" view, drag the rectangle selection around the bottom half of the points
and scale them smaller a little bit. Then choose the top half of the points and make them just a little larger.
This should give you a nice shape of an apple. :-)

Now in that same front view it's time to create the stem. Choose a "B-Spline" and
draw a spline like shown above.

Create a circle spline with a radius of only 2 cm, and drag the circle under the sweep NURBS
followed by the regular spline. This should give you a nice stem.

Next add two planes and scale them down and position them as above. Make the width and
height segments 6 as shown above. Then make them editable by pressing the C key on your
keyboard while they are selected. These will be your apple leaves.

Now it's time to create our textures. I will be creating a leaf texture using an image and an alpha image and
the stem and apple will both be procedural textures with no alpha or image. We'll start with the leaft.
As shown above, with the color channel checked, click on the little arrow behind the word "texture"
and direct it to the leaf1jpg texture.

Next with the alpha channel selected, click on the little arrow and direct it to the leaf1alp.jpg texture
which is your alpha image. You will see your leaf appear in the preview.

Next, with the specular channel checked, you will see the settings above for the specular levels.
And that's it for creating our leaf textures.

After you have applied the leaf textures, this is what you will have. You may have to rotate the leaf planes
and position them again after applying the textures if they show up wrong.

ext we'll create a procedural texture for our stem. With the color channel checked add a medium to dark brown color at the top.
ehind Texture...click the arrow and choose "Fusion". You will also notice that the mix strength at the bottom is set at 90%. Clic
"Fusion" to get to the settings for that.

After you have clicked on "Fusion" you will see three channels, Blend, Mask & Base.
We will click on each one to see the settings you need to enter.

The final setting for the stem is the specular setting. Click on the word "Specular" on the
left in the material widow to add the settings that you see here. And that's it for the stem
procedural texture. Add your texture to the stem and you are done with it.
Next, we move on to the apple.

The apple color has more settings to get that wonderful apple variated texture so this will
take a bit of time but it will be worth it. With the color channel checked, choose and orange/red
color at the top and then choose "Filter" behind the texture mode. Click on Filter to see the settings.

The nice thing about procedural textures is that they can be changed so easily. If you go back into your
settings for the color on the apple texture and change the browns to a dull greenish yellow, you have a
beautiful new green apple texture. Be sure to save the red texture first so you don't overwrite it.
There you have it! Have fun with it and if you have any questions email me.

trouble creating the textures. You can download them here.)
