what version of c4d. Anyway nice work. I think this would benefit form a beter lighting rig maybe a three point setup over the gray gi look. I also would work on the colors. The green is to bright and the orange could be reder. Maybe you could use a danel shader and multiple specular chanels to achieve more color varietion. Like you other images. The cingular logo is the best from a "profesional quality" standpoint but i like how this is a twist on xp. Also because hypernurbs dont interact well with tris there is a problen b=near the ends of the capsules. anyway cool to see some c4d work here. good work.

Whoa bestrin1... Sounds like your a pro. I am still a newbie at this but it sounds like some good advice there if I could understand completely what you are saying. But I think I get it. And the ends are kinda screwy because (I think...anyway), Because I put another capsule scaled down inside to acheive the look of something inside the pill. But if you look at my updated version of my capsules I think I fixed it by using two halves instead of one piece capsules. And the Hyper Nurbs seem to work better with my updated version. I also think I adressed the colors and lighting in my updated pill version. But thanx for the comments on my cingular logo which of course was the easiest for me to do. Seems like when I get more comlicated things dont turn out quite right...lol Anyway thanx for the advice too. Oh Yeah version 8.1 and check out my gallery again let me know what you think of the new version of my piil work.

It's a great idea. Congrats. I do agree with bestrin1. The ends of the pills (the rounded tip), you have some triangle issies. You can see a bycicle wheel like pattern going on breaking the smooth surface. You may be able to break down the triangles in that area for a smoother tip. After you break down the triangles, you can smooth the surface, apply some stretching or something. Whatever C4D might have available for that purpose.
Another thing I would do is to increase the polygon count in the white floor. I can still see some artifacts of rectangular lighting. If you look hard enough at the floor, you'll notice that the shadow is kind of pixellated.
Anyway, it still is an excellent walpaper. Will use it.

Ooo, actually going through your library, I noticed that you don't have the tri problem on the "Which Pill V2". So you must have already fixed your issue.

Yes I did but the tip on the floor helps. In V2 I used two halves of the capsule instead of a one peice capsule. Thanx for the comments

cool. I like the new image alot. One thing though is that specular highlights arent always pure white it looks great on the blue but on the green for example you could try a sightly chartruse highlite. also if you used the enviroment chanel in the pill shaders so it would reflect something i thisnk that might look better. Specular highlights dont realy exist in real life there just reflections blured or unblured. Try ading an enviroment chanel so that theres something besides th other pills to reflect. It will ad some realism. good job fixing the triangulation hypernurbs issue. Looks alot better. The cingular logo may be simple extrude nurbs for modeling but the lighting and the glass shader ended up realy nice. What version of c4d do you have. Do you have ar. Good work with this. when i was a noob i did some pills in c4d and i even returned to that recently when i made an image called the placebo affect. Nice work. The whole xp thing was a great idea. also i would make the floor lighter in color. Cool thats all for now. Good work. like the improvements. If your interested heres "the placebo affect"
