Super Text Tutorial

Author: BIGMIKE
11 9th, 2007

It took awhile but I posted my next tutorial. I use Cinema 4D to make “Super Text” in this one. I would define Super Text as kind of like Superman’s font but not quite. It uses 3D lettering with a vanshing point to create a similar effect that you would see in a comic book perhaps. This tutorial involves a lot of the basics of Cinema 4D, combined together to create a cool text effect. This one deals with extrude NURBS, bend objects, lights and cameras, and more. I hope you enjoy it and can use it.

My mission on these tutorials is to show people a new design or result that I developed on my own. Since a lot of my skills are a product of online video tutorials, I try to create new techniques to not only expand my abilities but of anyone else who wants to learn.

My paper rip effect tutorial has reached nearly 800 views in just a couple months. Pretty good considering I really didn’t do anything to promote it. Thanks to AE Freemart for finding it and linking it up.

So head on over to the tutorials page to create some Super Text. I added the ability to leave comments to the page, so feedback is definitely appreciated.

Excellent source of Cinema 4D tips and tutorials. This site has a ton to offer for C4D users.

When I saw these Sony ads on TV, I headed over and looked them up online immediately. I wanted to confirm that I witnessed the PS3 seamlessly sprout tentacles, shoot machine guns, evolve between organic and mechanical objects, blow my mind, etc.

 

 

(Direct link in case the youtube link doesn’t last.)

From the official Playstation Blog, “the icons and characters of the PS3 world come to life in the vivid black onyx world of the PS3 and nearly burst out of its seams.”

Yep, that sounds accurate.

I hope I will be able to work on something that cool someday. If I were good enough to do that, I would actually be able to buy a PS3.

 

****UPDATE***** 

I found the studio that was behind the work; it was done by Superfad. Well done.
