AMI 2014 Rewind: Eric Small, Day 02: Simple MoGraph Molecular Animation
Eric Small from Nucleus Medical Media provides a basic introduction to Cinema 4D’s MoGraph tools, showing how the Cloner object, Random Effector, Plain Effector and Shader Effector combine to easily create animation visualizing antibody-drug conjugates. Eric Small from Nucleus Medical Media provides a basic introduction to Cinema 4D’s MoGraph tools, showing how the Cloner object, Random Effector, Plain Effector and Shader Effector combine to easily create animation visualizing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Eric demonstrates how to add variance in effector motion using the Weight Transform attribute in a Shader Effector. Eric also shows how to easily create a simple blood flow by cloning along a spline and animate the flow using the Rate parameter, adding variation and Brownian motion via the Random Effector.

Kelvin Li from Nucleus Medical Media shows how deformers aid in visualizing a white blood cell with psuedopodia arms. Kelvin Li from Nucleus Medical Media shows how deformers aid in visualizing a white blood cell with psuedopodia arms. Kelvin uses a Bulge deformer to define the basic shape, and then uses a Displacer with falloff to create psuedopodia. Animating the rotation of the sphere independent of the Displacer makes the psuedopodia appear to crawl over the surface. Kelvin adds Sub-Polygon Displacement and an additional Displacer to texture the overall object.

Siggraph 2014 Rewind - John Robson: Fake Particles, Fluid Sim and Photorealism for VFX
In this presentation, John Robson demonstrates techniques from two projects he worked on with Mirada - advertisements for Vizio and Innova - as well as three separate short film projects he worked on independently. In this presentation, John Robson demonstrates techniques from two projects he worked on with Mirada - advertisements for Vizio and Innova - as well as three separate short film projects he worked on independently. John first demonstrates how the Camera Shader and PolyFX were used to create an animation that appears to move through a starfield with constellations that take on familiar icons. In the Innova DNA promo, John utilized a MoGraph to Nulls preset and Tracer to link together atoms in a DNA strand. In the City promo for Innova, John shows another use for PolyFX - deconstructing a skyline. He also uses the Cloth Surface generator to add thickness and the Atom Array generator to create a truss structure. John switches gears to demonstrate how he used Cloth’s tear functionality to add a shirt tearing in a visual effects shot for his short film Epoch. In Supper Time!, another independent short film, John used Soft Body Dynamics, Realflow fluids and Tracer to simulate meatballs, sauce and spaghetti. Finally, John delves deeper into Realflow and Maxwell Render as he demonstrates his most recent independent short film, Red Within. You’ll see how these powerful applications from NextLimit integrate seamlessly with Cinema 4D.

In this presentation, Lorcan O’Shanahan demonstrates techniques he used in creating HUD and screen elements for Ender’s Game. Lorcan explains how to optimize and utilize complex CAD models in MoGraph-style animations, how to use Cineware in After Effects to composite 2D elements within 3D space, and how to optimize clone systems with the Matrix Object and Effector Visibility. Lorcan shows a unique rendering technique utilized in the Lilly title sequence. A world-space gradient generates a monochromatic look reminiscent of a depth pass, with Xpresso that makes this technique very flexible and easy to control. Finally Lorcan demonstrates an Xpresso Car Rig he’s created, and shows how to animate the car along a path and crashing into a pile of tires with the help of Rigid Body Dynamics.
