In this two part video tutorial, you will go through the complete process of modeling, unwrapping, and texturing a Type 97 hand grenade, the standard fragmentation grenade that was used by the Imperial Japanese Army in WWII.
In the first part, you learned how to create the model using the lathe and boole functions in C4D, and now you will learn how to unwrap it in BodyPaint and paint the texture maps in Photoshop.

Rare to find bodypaint tuts out there so thanx for that!
Even more rare is Deep Paint3D which I love.
BTW you say you like cheesy movies….hope you seen/heard of mystery science theater 3000.
Are you talking about the show or movie? For the show I can’t find too many episodes. As for the movie I saw it on HBO and it was fantastic; great film.
Talking about the show or series that was on TV.
The Sci F channel used to air it every Sat am at 9. It was funny!
You can still find them on ebay sometimes…I have about 20 dvds.

How Can you be 17, live in Pennsylvania, and know how to use bodypaint? I can’t wrap my head around that. There’s almost no documentation available and I know where to find almost every tutorial series. Kudos lol. This was a great tutorial! More modeling tuts in C4D would be much appreciated.
GOOD!!!! THANK YOU~~
Thanks for your tutorial…
But where is a part about Bodypaint 3D?..
Advice: When u dragging an image from one window to another in Photoshop hold down shift…
Very good techniques. Did get a bit messy in video 2 around 25 minutes when you make the specular map. A lot of “whoops” and saying one thing and doing another – but apart fom that all good.
Hey! Thanks again for the tutorial. It was the stepping stone I needed to understand the process better.
Just to make sure I had understood it I modelled a US MK-II grenade using your techniques. Outcome looks like this:

A bit low-poly here and there and I need to get better at texturing, but now I know the process!
Sorry to have not seen your post Anders. Amazing model! It’s always great to see someone take the techniques and make them their own, hope to see more from you.
Thnx for this great tut! I just got the software and this realy helped me a lot.
Thnx from Holland mate!

Hi the_john,
Apologies about that, the link has now been fixed. Let me know if you have any more issues :)
Thanks,
Matt
cheers Matt
Awesome tutorial, thank you very much for making it.
it’s very sweet to find helpful stuff around. I was also wondering if you know where to find more body paint tutorials. Any lead in how to set up brushes will be great. Thanks again.
Thanks a great tutorial was really what i needed.
I’m a beginner in UV Mapping and always had problems to select the polygons in the UV Edit layout. Now I have learned how to do it.
But the best part of the tutorial was for me, the creation of the textures.
Thanks
Awesome man! i learned a lot!
