 After finishing the big scenes in C4D, I exported them to Unity — but surprise: the materials didn’t come through. All my nice textures turned into plain white models 😩

Turns out, the C4D shaders don’t auto-convert, so I had to manually reassign each material in Unity. I dragged them one by one onto the right meshes.

It was kind of tedious, but at least everything looks the way I wanted again!
Lesson learned: export textures carefully next time.

Creating a Portal System with Player Collision in Unity

-
Image
It all started when I randomly thought: Wouldn’t it be cool if I could make a scene where I walk through a portal into another world? Like literally, walk into one space and boom — you're somewhere completely different. I immediately thought of the game Portal , which has those awesome sci-fi doors you can go through and see what’s on the other side. So, that was my goal. Starting with What I Know: Modeling in C4D Since I’m already familiar with Cinema 4D , I figured I’d build the portal frame and some basic scene geometry there. Way faster than modeling inside Unity, and I could be more creative with the shapes. Once I had the basic portal built in C4D, I exported the models as and imported them into Unity. Luckily, that part was pretty smooth (just make sure your scale settings aren’t messed up!). .fbx YouTube to the Rescue 🎥 Then I thought, Has someone done this before in Unity? (Spoiler: of course they have). I searched YouTube and found a super helpful video: 👉 ...

Three Types of Scene Project

  After finishing my working portal with the smooth camera-following shader (yay!), I realized I still needed to build simpler prototype versions for my teacher — something quick and light to show how scene transitions could work, especially for computers that might not handle 3D and shaders well. So I made three different versions of scene switching, from super basic to silky smooth: Version 1: Boring Button Click (2D Image) This was the absolute easiest — I just: Made a simple UI button in Unity. Used on . SceneManager.LoadScene() OnClick() Put a 2D image background behind it. Not much interaction, but it gets the point across. You click → it loads a new scene. Honestly… kinda boring 😅 But it works, and it’s super light on performance — good for basic demonstrations or weaker computers. Version 2: Player Touches a Door → Transition This one was already more fun: Built a 3D door model in C4D and brought it into Unity. Placed a trigger collider in ...
