Mograph and Mospline celebrate Labor Day
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Mograph 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’
Carnival – C4D
Monday, August 23rd, 2010let’s go to the Carnival a bit early,
not quite Labor Day but then again, not much labor to celebrate this year
but Cinema 4D will provide a carnival nonetheless
celebrate ~
so … are you guys working ??
Thursday, August 5th, 2010my 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 ….
Cinema4D – Landscape primitive
Monday, July 26th, 2010you can have a lot of fun with C4D landscape primitive. Creating a diverse landscape with definitions for ‘furrows’, sea level, plateau it is very helpful to begin to create your own landscape model.
Create material that portray your land realistically,
you can animate your land dimensions if you want to do a universe creation gig – very flexible and C4D has all the goodies to go with it. Pyrocluster will help you create your volcano, smoke, if you like trapcode it is very easy to migrate to AE and add more pyrotechnics there.
I wanted a mandala sun using some of the geometery in AE than mapping trapcode’s ‘Shine’ to my sun object’s positions with the simplest of expressions binding shine to our sun.
Try a little sorenson – squeeze … that is… don’t forget 360
Saturday, July 17th, 2010is pretty cool – we all need to squeeze these media monsters but
360 http://www.sorensonmedia.com/video-delivery-network/
is much more with their own world of skins, players, a review section to share, statistics, SEO, one stop shopping …. central satellite view …. wow … that’s a lot of alliteration …. but then again … SorensonSqueeze are one
Cinema 4D video cube
Saturday, July 10th, 2010borrowed this from C4D Cafe http://www.c4dcafe.com but it reminds me of the little glass boxes you pick up in souvenir shops when you were a kid. The fun part
is what you populate it with and how you tune your animation. Since most of mine come from the woods, my cube sports baby ducks, full moons, hummer, and water spiders. Pretty cool – your sister will love the water spiders
Cinema 4D makes this very easy importing an image, in this case a movie as your material luminance channel. Create a new material, ‘uncheck’ the default color channel, add luminance to radiate your image,
then play with the timing and mingling of your cube faces and their children.
the Magician C4D
Thursday, July 1st, 2010I’m sure Anne won’t mind that I borrowed a few of her children ….

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010hey, nothing like a class reunion to spike your inspiration

she saved all my class pics for me. they say art imitates Life ….
let’s Bubble with CS5, C4d and Trapcode P
Saturday, June 12th, 2010let’s Bubble with CS5, C4d and Trapcode P
Exploring Cinema 4d’s material options can take you into world’s you’ve never gone before. Texture, reflections, luminance blend to produce more than a look but a feel and a mood and very easily an other worldly atmosphere.
We love textures, we love our hidden associations that inspire us, or scare us, or attract us, or mesmerize
it is so easy to cross reality and map our dreams in visions
…. perhaps the only limit within apparitions
