How to Adjust Keyframe Interpolation
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to adjust keyframe interpolation in Cinema 4D - i.e. how to control what happens to an object’s animation between the keyframes. By default, Cinema 4D applies ease-in and ease-out to the motion of objects, meaning that they will speed up at the start and then slow down at the end. You can change this by adjusting an F-Curve (Function-Curve).
First, you’ll have a quick run-through of how to record keyframes in Cinema 4D. Then you’ll access the F-Curve, which controls the animation between the keyframes. You’ll adjust the F-Curve to radically alter away from the default ease-in and ease-out, such as to get an object to move at constant speed.

How to Create Underwater Lighting
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the complex light patterns that form under water, using a technique that renders very quickly.
Although Cinema 4D supports caustics, which recreates the underwater lighting effect very accurately, the downside is that it can slow down your render times considerably due to the complex calculations involved.
Here you’ll learn how to create fake caustics that render fast, to recreate the amazing light dance that appears on the ocean bed or swimming pool floor. You’ll also pick up a few tips on how to quickly create and texture underwater terrain.

How to Start using Cloth
 

In this tutorial, we take a look at how to start using the Cloth Tag within Cinema 4D. First, we set up the scene using some primitive objects. Then we move onto adding the Cloth Tag and Cloth Collider. We then look at Cloth Object to add thickness to the object. Finally, we add the object to a Subdivision Surface to add smoothing.

How to Create a Simple Character Build and Animate using CMotion
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build and animate a very simple biped character in Cinema 4D. In just 15 minutes, you’ll see what it takes to go from nothing to a character walking across your screen. That is modelling, rigging and animating done in 15 minutes, with no speed up or steps skipped. For this reason, the character built is incredibly simple and the motion is very basic. It needs refining, but we hope that you will be surprised by how quick it is to take your first steps in building, rigging and animating characters in Cinema 4D.

How to use Dresser Mode on the Cloth Tag
 

In this video, we look at how to use the Dress-o-matic option under the Cloth Tag in Cinema 4D. First we use a model to help draw a simple T-shirt outline. Then we subdivide it to give us a few extra polygons. We copy, paste and merge the objects to get a single object we can Bridge the faces together. Then we use the Cloth Tag’s Dressomatic options to fit that outline to the body as a T-Shirt.

How to Create Texture Dynamic Opening Curtains
 

In this tutorial, learn how to produce curtains that close, react to the particle wind object and have a texture that sticks to the right points of the object. First, we look at producing a simple place and apply a texture to it. Then we use a simple cube and cloner object to produce the invisible curtain hooks. After making it editable, we use the cloth and belt tags to add cloth dynamics to the object and attach selected points to the curtain hooks. We then use a Cloth object to add thickness to the curtain, and a Subdivision Surface to smooth the object out. Adding in a simple wind object allows us to add direction wind separately without using the internal forces of the cloth tag. Hopefully, this gives you a good starting point to create your own dynamic curtains!

How to Apply Different Materials to a Cloned Object
 

In this tutorial, we learn how to apply different materials to clones, in this instance, a flag. To start with we clone the flag with a cloner and sort out the arrangement. Then we take a standard material and add in a MoGraph Multishader to the colour channel. We then add the materials we want it to choose from and then change the mode to Index Ratio.

How to Create an Animated Flag
 

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a flag on a pole that flaps in the wind. First you’ll use Cinema 4D’s Cloth tag and learn how to anchor parts of the flag that you want to stay in place, using Fix Points. Fix Points is good when the flag pole doesn’t move around, like a flag on a castle. You’ll then use the Cloth Collider tag to stop the flag from intersecting the flag pole, and adjust Forces to get the flag flapping nicely. You’ll literally stick a texture to the flag, using the Stick Texture tag. Lastly, you’ll deal with a flag pole that is being waved around, like at the start of a car race. Here you’ll use the Cloth Belt tag, which will directly attach the points to the flag pole.
