Thanks. Downloaded and opened in v2017 without any problems. Look great. Feel very "light" considering they are high polygon count (of course, if I had fifty of them in one scene it might be different).

@Monadnoc Make a symbol for each rock in that file....that way you can duplicate as many as you wish without the file size getting any larger.

[Kevin K]

Oh, one other thought….by making a symbol from each rock, you then have the ability to tweak the symbol shape by messing with the various x,y,z data associated with the symbol.  A cool feature, for sure. It can change the entire shape of the rock!

Mess around with it.

@VIRTUALENVIRONS  Thanks for these! Very generous.  Good variety. With some of the standard stone textures they look pretty good - need to fiddle the texture scale. I found for even more variety and surface modulation I can stretch/compress the individuals, or bash a couple together, then Add Solids, or Solid Subtract, and Convert result to Mesh.

Hi Benson,

I made those in C4D.  I think you are a C4D user also, is that correct?  It only took five minutes to make all the rocks.  The longest part was exporting them.  Pat Stanford put them all in one file, the first set.

 

regards....Paul

These are great. Thanks for sharing them. Were they procedurally generated?

HI Kevin,

I used the Voronai Fracture object to make these in conjunction with collision tags.   It is very simple.  I am leaving for the afternoon shortly, tomorrow I will make a short video. You want believe how easy it is to make our own, big small, fat, flat, etc.

I would love to learn. I have used C4D to make things like flags in the past. My license is quite old (R18 I think) but its still a useful tool.

Hi Kevin,

I think Voronai Fracture was in 2018, so you should be OK.  Go under Mograph to see if you have it.

Very nice!

Hello all,

Below is a short tutorial on how to make Rocks in C4D and import into Vectorworks.
