Sam Balcom of Rainfall Films shows how Cinema 4D was used in the creation of Metroid: The Sky Falls. In creating this fan film, Rainfall relied heavily on motion capture, which was processed in MotionBuilder and imported as FBX into Cinema 4D. Sam shows how the motion capture was imported and adapted for individual shots. The project was rendered with C4D’s Standard and Physical Render engines, and Sam shows how C4D’s multi-pass render output was combined in After Effects to create the final look. Sam also shows how Sub-polygon Displacement and the NitroBlast plugin were used to generate sci-fi environments, and how the mocap process allowed him to direct shots.
