MoGraph: Bills are piling up

Here’s a little clip just in time for tax season. I used mograph to create a scene where someone’s bills are getting out of control. All I used was a cloner object to clone multiple types of bills and a randomize effector to vary the positions and angles of the individual papers that make up the stack. I also modeled all the objects in the scene, even the seagull painting in the background was a vacation picture of mine. Eventually it will be in various car commercials here and there.

Super Text Tutorial

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.

Toyota Tundra Rough Cut

Here’s a spot I did that shows off the toughness of the Toyota Tundra. It came out pretty cool, but unfortunately the compression knocks the visual quality down a notch. I used Apple Motion, After Effects and some Photoshop. The last 5 seconds are where you insert a dealer’s logo and location information.
