Modeling a Head in C4DModeling a Head in C4D

In this tutorial, Jannis Labelle demonstrates modeling a head using the Edge-Extrude plugin. This is a tutorial for intermediate or advanced Modelers with Cinema 4D who already have an understanding of the modeling capabilities of the software. Although enthusiastic beginners can follow also with a little bit of perseverance. Jannis has tried to include as many screen shots as possible and tries to make the instructions clear and let the pictures talk for themselves. Of course this techniques can be easely followed with any program that can extrude edges, like Maya for instance.

Jannis Labelle demonstrates modelling and animating a bird in flightJannis Labelle demonstrates modelling and animating a bird in flight

In this tutorial, Jannis Labelle demonstrates modelling and animating a bird in flight. This is a follow up of his head tutorial so he will not go into a great detail of describing techniques in minute detail, instead he will try to introduce you to some alternatives in modeling, texturing and animation. It is a tutorial for intermediate level users, you would need to know your way around the view ports, tools, the Attribute Manager and be comfortable with using Photoshop. Still, even as a beginner you will find a lot of information here, so with a bit of effort you should get going.The task will be to model a bird, texture it and animate it, using some shortcuts to demonstrate that there many ways to skin a cat, or a bird for that matter.

C4D 9.5: Real-World 3D Animation ProductionC4D 9.5: Real-World 3D Animation Production

In this article, CreativeCOW.net contributing editor Doug Bassett reviews C4D 9.5: Real-World 3D Animation Production, by Larry Mitchell and published by Charles River Media; 1 edition; copyright (January 5, 2006), 432 pages; ISBN: 1584504374 and writes... ''If I had to tell you about this book in one sentence it would be that this book is the extension of the C4D Quick Start manual. You will learn much more about the 'how to' than the Quick Start and like the Quick Start, you will not get an explanation of the tools or why something works the way it does, but you will remain focused on the 'how to' and the project goal.''

Stop Motion Text with Cinema 4DStop Motion Text with Cinema 4D

In this video tutorial, Neal shows how to get started making a stop-motion text effect using Cinema 4D's MoGraph module. He'll be taking a pretty good look at MoSplines and the Vibrate tag to create a text treatment that resembles shooting the same few frames over and over again, and repeating them.

Using the SplinMotion Plug-in to build an Animation Rig in Cinema 4D XL6Using the SplinMotion Plug-in to build an Animation Rig in Cinema 4D XL6

This article will demonstrate how to set up the SplinMotion Plug-in to build an animation rig allowing you to animate a fire hose by moving only one null. The article will not focus on the modeling or texturing aspects of the project as they're really not important, but rather the rig used to animate the spline from which the firehose is formed. This principle can be used to animate any spline based model.
