I’m thinking about starting a blog type thing. Opinions, 3D, design, productivity, and the likes. Am I crazy? Do people read that stuff anymore? 🤔
Got some tricks to make our felt materials look more real without using hair geo. Might do a quick tut if there’s interest. 🤔
Studio just turned 1! 🥳 To celebrate, we have picked our top 5 favorite features: • Send with Triplanar: Seamless textures, no UV setup. • Smart Send: One-click asset setup, no manual drudgery. • Randomizer: Uncover hidden gems in your library instantly. • Go To Collection:…
Just realized not a lot of people know you can send materials directly to an object or poly selection from the Studio app. I use it constantly when I’m moving fast. Super handy. You can find these settings in C4D Prefs>Greyscalegorilla>Studio Connect ✌️

Glass Quick Tip: Transmission Depth controls how far light travels through transparent materials. Higher values mean lighter, more translucent. Lower values mean darker, denser. Just keep in mind this setting depends on your scene units. Working at real-world scale makes a big…
Speaking of… Been messing around with a new set of Doodad models. Still early, but I’m into where it’s heading 🤫
Got a junk drawer? Full of random things you’ve kept forever, just in case. That’s Doodads. Always there when your scene needs that one unexpected object. Random pieces. Full of potential.
Mini feature drop in Studio! 🎲 Video below👇
ICYMI: We’ve added a small but mighty feature inside of Studio: the Asset Randomizer. One click on the dice icon and Studio will shuffle the assets, serving up a random selection from the library. It's great for sparking ideas or finding something unexpected that actually…
