c4d is a render made with the program cinema4d. these are usually
abstract renders, and people use them in sigs to get certain effects
and to make the sigs look more interesting. example of a c4d render:
Spoiler!

if you search for c4d renders on http://www.planetrenders.net, you will also
find many renders with a transparent background. this can make it
easier to implement the c4d into your sig. the c4d's with black or
white background can also be blended in but you should read some tuts
on that :]

you used c4d? because i've tried it but decided to stick with
solidworks because c4d was using odd terms like nurbs instead
of extrusions. my guess is you can render a c4d on a transparent
background. should definitely be possible.

Nah, when I started venturing into c4ds, I tryed to find out how to remove the black
and I came across a tut on doing it in Cinema4d. I tryed it and it was really weird. :\

lol.

so you downloaded a render (as in, a 2D image), and tried to
take out the background in c4d, a 3D modelling program?
