Thanks Jason,

Here's a trick I've learned from taking Illustrator files to C4D. If you don't separate the elements in Illustrator and instead leave them overlapping, when you bring the version 8 Illustrator file into C4D, select the overlapping spline curves and choose: Function->Explode Segments. This will separate the overlapping curves from one another and keep them in place (no reference image or moving back required).

Have a good one and thanks again!

Thanks Jason, good refresher and overview. Esp. as I tend to overcomplicate all the channels in the materials with fresnel gradients, etc. Also, nice smooth camera without getting into F-curves.

Would LOVE to see more of these C4D tuts here. And thanks as well for the camera rigs in the goodies on your site!

Cheers,
~Chris
