First, make a sphere.
[attachmentid=9702]

Click on the make editable icon:
[attachmentid=9703]
Or press "c" on your keyboard.

Click on the polygon tool:
[attachmentid=9704]

Right click, and choose magnet.

Hold shift and start pulling on the sphere till you got something like this:
[attachmentid=9705]

Now, without holding down shift, stretch out the areas that you've just finishing pulling outward:
[attachmentid=9706]

Now, start selecting parts of the sphere:
[attachmentid=9707]

Now bevel till you get something like this:
[attachmentid=9708]

Now, inner extrude:
[attachmentid=9709]

Now, extrude:
[attachmentid=9710]

Now, bevel it again:
[attachmentid=9711]

Now, you can add hypernurbs to the sphere, and/or add a material on it..
And then render

What i did was imported it into 3dsm, and added the materials there. I find that 3dsm does better renders than C4d.

This is my final render:
[attachmentid=9712]

wow awesome what program did u use to make that (3dsm or c4d) and is it free? and if it is or isnt i need to get it for free sumhow

btw nice tut

The tutorial is for Cinema 4d v8.5 (even though v9 kicksass). I just used 3d Studio Max for adding the material, and the rendering part.

These kinds of programs can cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars..

that kind of looked like what @:@ made, but his blue was shaded

pm if u know a way i can get it with out paying 492358205823583$$$$

You wouldnt happen to have a link to @:@'s creation?
