Beginning with a project for Radio Veronica, Lars shows how Polygon Pen can be used to quickly create geometry for projection mapping. He also shows how to create a basic IK rig and adjust weights to animate the projected mesh.

In a project for Volkswagen, Lars utilized MoGraph’s Cloner object in Surface mode to quickly create a city, then applied dynamics with Follow Position to a proxy cube with basic animation to create a reactive first-person view.

Lars demonstrates three ways in which the Interaction Tag can be used in conjunction with Xpresso to create flexible animation rigs. He also demonstrates the new Cogwheel spline primitive, and the Mesh Checker tool which can aid in preparing objects for 3D printing.

Finally, Lars creates a luggage carousel, using a cloner, an emitter object and rigid-body dynamics. Lars shows how the bevel deformer can add rounding to a simple suitcase model, as well as at the intersections of Boolean objects. Lars also demonstrates how to use Camera Morph to create a simple but effective camera animation.
