Mograph and Mospline celebrate Labor Day

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Mograph and Mospline celebrate Labor Day …  being lazy with a formula effector

It’s so easy to create monster shapes that have life and detail -

Mograph, Mospline with a sampling of effectors. You can only get lost playing with all the possibilities. And I think you’re supposed to play on Labor Day, right ? Some of the interconnections in Cinema are a bit daunting at first and I’m only beginning to see the possibilities but

that’s part of the fun. You can do really cool things all along the way.

You can find this tutorial at Cineversity or many other similar searching for ‘effectors’ and/or ‘MoDynamics’

Mospline – hats to 3D Kiwi

Mospline – hats to 3D Kiwi with a little Xpresso thrown in for fun.

With C4D 12 on the way ( got my tracking number yesterday, Yes), and Python in the package

ease of adding extra impressive effects is available for all.

This gem from Mr Kiwi has been available for some time with the magic of Mospline and this fairly simple tutorial presented on his C4D site, one of the best resources for Cinema

Knoll Light Factory CS5 is here

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Knoll Light Factory CS5 is here. So …. let’s animate a spline. Why ?  Why not.

Knoll CS5 is quite cool with easier editing of your light selections and the tuning you will do within each category. There is a preview editor that makes so much difference and much more sophisticated than before.

I know form had a preview editor, seems like different RedGiants did/didn’t but Light Factory might be seen by some as their flagship, I mean how many more Star Wars will there be … so it’s great that’s it’s ready to go with CS5 and has some significant improvements of it’s own.

So animate a spline ? I just can’t put down Cinema4 and since these guys love to play together … we’ll do a quickie to welcome KLF to the magical world of 64 bit AE (even if most of the lights are noted as 16)

welcome with a little sparkle, a little spline, and a humble expression from AE

Summer Images Fire and Water

we still see the empty houses, and the broken asphalt

we see the boxes, and the lists,

it’s hot as fire, steam clouds your street

but the recovery …  hey …  is just at our feet …..

adding vimeo to my world

vimeo -  today

so … are you guys working ??

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

my dogcreek friends have a little different perspective.

I’m reminded of how  in Walden, Thoreau bemoans the many hours we spend working our life instead of living our Lives. It just doesn’t seem like the same possibility now but …

tell that to my fawn ….
