yup, I’m already seeing 12. updates on their site, 12.016 to 12.021 … and it’s not even released yet
if you are lucky enough to have a MSA agreement, it should be on it’s way to you, quite nice, although I’ve been told by support that their shipping department, is quite busy
You never know who you might run into. looking for some help scripting C4D, a little Xpresso, I start at the top,
see Chris Smith at Siggraph 2010 but as we’re giving credits and referrals … there’s Greyscale Gorilla, Mike the Monkey, Cactus Dan, … you’da thought you were at a Grateful Dead concert
and speaking of flashback to the 70’s – what if the quest was all about – a scripting language … a language that could fulfill the noble ambitions of C++ … but you could actually use ??
enter Python ~ did I say Grateful Dead concert ?
but Python it is … with such a consensus that Maxon has added it to the family
still looking for good python tuts (any links appreciated ) but in meantime …
Chris’ has nice ‘presentation to Siggraph 2010′ but when I double check my link
yes … it’s Python … not quite ready for Prime time but it’s easy to download, easy to add to C4D, has a cute little C4D like tag, and there’s some … not a lot …. of tutorials and get starters out there.
Like Chris … which got off into the wilderness in the first place
you 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.
Acoustica Mixcraft has an amazing toolbox of sounds, controls, special effects, synthesizers that help you add that most essential ingredient to your video … Sound.
Like any tool, there’s a learning curve, and I guess it helps if you have some musical ability but I have been pleased with my beginning compositions and about all I have is a natural love for music.
One of my favorite things about Mixcraft is that it helps you compose music but it also provides a very rich library of special effects, nature sounds, nature’s music
which gives your creative fancy, a little more flush.
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
playing with materials and textures in C4d is fun. We play with light and color in other animation products, some texture is available but C4d imitates the world. Wood, marble, stone, flower offering an easy step to imitate life and have a little more time for your ideas.
The AE plugin was released quite recently and the experience of faster rendering, viewing video thumbnails – whatever their source, offers more time …
I was so excited when I got my Canon Vixia …. about a year ago this time last year …
until I applied a mts file to my AE timeline and had to count to10 when scrolled the video … waiting for the display to catch up with me.
Nvidia’s marriage with Adobe in particular with Mercury Engine ( MPE ) in Premiere Pro changed this. Hidef was endowed with real time editing with this one addition to your system but
now that I have my first Windows 7 experience it is a real pleasure to see an mts file with a representative thumbnails,
to open it directly from the folder display, or to be able to play from the folder simply using Windows media.
These are ‘little things’ but make a tremendous contribution to your time when working with hi def, sampling and doing a little experimentation.
