Walking Through Fields: Using Fields with Volumes: Creating Organic Text with Volume Modeling Tools
In this video, you’ll get an introduction to the new Volume Modeling workflow in Cinema 4D R20. In this video, you’ll get an introduction to the new Volume Modeling workflow in Cinema 4D R20 that includes the Volume Builder and Volume Mesher objects. You’ll learn how to create voxel volumes with the Volume Builder, learn what voxels are, and how you can use them to generate geometry using Volume Meshers. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Series Introduction
In this tutorial series we’ll learn how to use a vertex map and the new fields system in Cinema 4d r20 to organically grow an alpha channel for a material. We’ll begin with a look at how the effect will function in a simplified form. After that we’ll prepare the object mesh in a non-destructive way to make future edits possible. After the mesh is ready we’ll apply the vertex map and fields and then learn how to control the speed, look and timing of the effect. Once we are happy with the growing effect, we’ll create the two materials to transition between and then build a simple environment. We’ll finish the project with a camera move and final render followed by a demo of how to take the effect and re-use it on another object. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Using Grow Mode
In this video we’ll be looking at a simplified version of the material transition effect. To make it easy to see what is happening, I’ve prepared a scene using black and white textures applied to the inside polys of a cube. This will show you what grow mode is and how it travels along surfaces. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Extruding the Mesh
In this video we will install CV toolbox and then the CV-Splines and CV-ArtSmart plugins. Then we’ll use those tools to create the hero object by importing, extruding and offsetting a spline. Next we’ll increase the density of the mesh so the effect we’re making will function properly. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Vertex Map, Freeze Layers and a Spherical Field
In this video we will add a vertex map to the hero object and begin creating the growing effect. To do so we’ll be enabling fields and adding a spherical field on top of the default freeze layer. Then we’ll tweak some settings and our rig will come to life. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Blending Modes
In this video we’ll add some more spherical fields and then let them work in unison by changing their blending modes to max. Then we’ll output a hardware render to make sure our effect looks good in real time. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Random Field, Curves, and a Second Freeze Layer
In this video we’ll add noise the effect using a random field. This will give the growing effect a much more organic look. Then we’ll use a curves layers to boost the contrast of the noise to break it up even more. Next we’ll add a second freeze layer that will slowly close the holes left by the random field. This will finish the transition from one material to the next. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Fading in with a Solid Layer or a Folder
In this video we’ll use a solid layer to prevent the growing effect from starting until we’re ready for it. We’ll simply drop the solid on top of our layer stack to mute the values below, then keyframe it’s opacity when we want the growing to start. After that I’ll show you an alternative method using a folder. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Creating the Materials
In this video we’ll create two lights to add shadows to the scene, and then set up three materials: an earthy material, a sky material, and a shiny material. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Using the Vertex Map as an Alpha Channel
In this video we’ll take the vertex map animation that we’ve been making and plug it into the alpha channel of the earthy material. Then when we play the animation our object will make the transition from earthy to shiny. I kept this tip in it’s own little video as it’s a core part of the tutorial and I wanted to make it easy to find in searches. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Add a Background & Refine the Lighting & Textures
In this video we’ll add a gradient background and then finish up the lighting and texturing with a few small tweaks. We’ll be using a square plane vs a background object which will give us more control over the background texture and will allow the background be seen in our object’s reflections. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Create a Camera Morph and Animate the Sky
In this video we’ll add a simple camera push to our scene using a camera morph. A camera morph allows you to use two cameras with different properties to define the start and end of your camera move. The camera morph will then blend smoothly between all of the camera parameters using just two keyframes in it’s blend slider. After we set that up we’ll add some rotation keyframes to the sky resulting in moving reflections when the shiny logo is revealed. Then we’ll be ready for the final render. |

Organic Transitions using Vertex Maps and Fields: Series Conclusion - Reusing the Rig
In this video we’ll finish up the series with a look at how to take our effect and apply it to a new object. We’ll take a look at the new object mesh to make sure it’s prepped for our effect, then pull it into our latest scene file. We’ll copy over the tags then adjust the spherical fields’ positions, the effect timing and the scene lighting and have a new scene ready to render in minutes. |
