Creating a Swimming Pool: Part 2 - Texturing
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to texture the pool. You’ll learn how to use the Tiles shader and how to apply it to parts of the pool using Cubic and Flat Projection. You’ll create a shiny metal, which you’ll use to texture the steps as well as the rings of the pool lights.

Creating a Swimming Pool: Part 3 - Water and Caustics
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add water and use Caustics to create the beautiful patterns of light on the pool floor. For caustics to work, the water must have a rippled - not completely flat - surface. To achieve this, you’ll use a Displacer modifier. You’ll explore the Caustics settings. And you’ll use Physical Render to get a better result. Now for the most fun part: you’ll render out your caustics animation and hopefully marvel at the dancing patterns of light!

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Series Overview
 

In this series we will learn all the tools and methods necessary to reconstruct the background scene we used in the “Modeling and Animating a Logo” tutorial.
We will start with an overview of the scene, and explain how the scene is structured, and what tools and processed are involved.
One by one, we will go through all the object types in the scene, and learn how to use various modeling techniques, lights, materials e.t.c.
This series is aimed at the new Cinema 4D user, and should be used alongside all the other Tutorials on Cineversity.com, so go sign-up and start learning!

In this video, we will briefly revisit Cinema 4D’s interface, and start looking at the building blocks of the Motion Graphics Scene. We will also see how to render in the Viewport, to evaluate our creative progress, talk about hierarchies, and more.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Primitive/Procedural Objects
 

In this video we will take a look at some of Primitives, also known as Procedural mesh Objects, that where used to build the scene. In particular, we will see the Cube, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus and Tube Primitives. In the process, we will learn about the Attribute Manager, and how to set values for various parameters.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Modeling Generators
 

In this video we will look at a couple of the Modeling Generators. These objects use Splines to build 3D models, and allow us to create a huge array of complex objects, while retaining full control of the parameters. Ion particular, we will see the Lathe and Sweep Modeling Generators.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: The Mesh Object - Editable Meshes
 

In this video we will look at the Editable Mesh Object. This is an object that has no particular parameters and usually derived by making a Primitive or Generated Object, editable. That way, we can access each point, edge or polygon individually, and mold our object to any shape we wish.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Object Generators - Symmetry - Cloner
 

In this video we will look at the Symmetry Object and the Cloner. These are Object Generators, and allow us to make copies of other Objects or Hierarchies in various, configurable ways. The Symmetry creates Mirror copies of Objects, and the Cloner can create arrays of any given configuration. Here we will focus on the Radial Cloning Mode.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Recreating the Final Scene - Part 1
 

In this video we will start modeling the Center part of our Motion Graphics Scene. Starting from a simple Disk Primitive, we will make it editable, and add a few strategic cuts and Bevels, Split it into separate Objects, add thickness, and then copy it using a Symmetry generator, to create a beautiful circular model.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Recreating the Final Scene - Part 2
 

After adding some placeholder materials, we will model a few extra parts using modeling generators and other primitives. You will be surprised how quickly you can build a complex looking scene just by reusing the same elements with various parameters.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Recreating the Final Scene - Part 3
 

With the majority of the model constructed, we will now add lights and materials, as well as learn how to build an environment by placing an image on our sky, so that our scene looks very realistic and stylistic at the same time.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Recreating the Final Scene - Part 4
 

In this video we will model a simple light fixture, add some volumetric lights, and create a simple light bulb, before cloning it on a circular configuration, and dropping it in our scene.

Building a Motion Graphics Scene: Recreating the Final Scene - Part 5
 

In this final video we will add a Camera Object, animate it, and also add some animation on a couple of the scene objects. In the process, we will learn how to change animated parameters, add keyframes using a couple of ways, changing the speed of our animation, and finally learn how to render our creation to a file.

How to Make Dynamic Objects Follow Splines
 

Learn how to make dynamic objects follow splines.

In this Quick Tip, Jonas Pilz shows you how to use the new Field Force object in Cinema 4D Release 21 to make particles and other dynamic objects follow splines.

Creating a Realistic CAD Visualization
 

In this tutorial, we will learn how to import a CAD model inside Cinema 4D, place it in a pre-made scene, apply Materials and render a beautiful picture of it.
In the process, we will take a quick look at Cinema 4D’s, artist friendly interface, ways to navigate inside the 3D view, talk about some of the Managers, and give you a general overview.
The tutorial is structured so that you can follow along, so please download the appropriate project files.

Modeling and Animating a Logo
 

In this tutorial, we will model and add motion to a Text Logo, that was designed inside Adobe Illustrator. Then we will place it in a pre-made scene, apply some materials and see how it looks by rendering inside the Viewport.
In the process, we will take a quick look at Cinema 4D’s, artist friendly interface, ways to navigate inside the 3D view, use some MoGraph tools to add animation and talk about some of the Managers.
The tutorial is structured so that you can follow along, so please download the appropriate project files.

Injecting Character into Objects in Cinema 4D using Deformers
 

Learn how to inject energy and character into objects using Deformers in Cinema 4D!  In this project based series, you’ll learn that you don’t need to learn complex rigging techniques to animate objects or characters.  This video will show you how to easily animate a mushroom character and apply the animation principle of Squash & Stretch to give the animation more interest and whimsy.

Baking Textures for Game Engines
 

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to export textured models from Cinema 4D to games engines.

First, you’ll build a simple house model in Cinema 4D and texture it using C4D’s procedural shaders. You’ll then bake out these textures as a regular “.png” image that will import into games engines. You’ll save the model out from C4D as an “.fbx” file. Finally, you’ll head into Unreal and Unity to import the textured house.

Importing a CAD Model for MoGraph Animation: Intro to CAD Import for MoGraph Animation
 

Introduction using a short animation showing the truck transformation and parts of the upcoming videos to show importing the CAD file and organizing it, then using Volume Builder and Volume Mesher to add detail and animation. Then we will use MoGraph tools along with Fields to control the transformation.

Importing a CAD Model for MoGraph Animation: Organizing the Model
 

We used the correct CAD import settings for our model and checked to see we had the correct mesh density to render our model up close and animate the necessary parts.

We used the high settings for the CAD import and checked to see that we had the correct mesh density to animate our model. We then collapsed the model to as few parts as possible to simplify our model and make it easier to animate.

Importing a CAD Model for MoGraph Animation: Using the Volume Builder to add Detail and Animation
 

We used the Volume Builder to add detail and animation to our project. 

We discussed how CAD files do not always have the detail that we need and one way to do it is to use the Volume Builder. We also show how we can use the Volume Builder to add animation to our project using MoGraph and other tools in conjunction with the Volume Builder.
