New Tutorial: Crumpling Paper in Cinema 4D

So I finally posted a new tutorial. This one shows you how to make a crumpling paper animation in Cinema 4D, like this video.

 I discovered the basis for this tutorial while doing a lot of experimenting with the Cloth Tag in Cinema 4D. It definitely saves a ton of time rather than the alternative of keyframing the entire animation. I would recommend playing around with the settings rather than just using what I gave you; you can get different results for you animation and experiment a little bit.

I’m going to make an effort to post tutorials more frequently. If you become a registered user I will send out a notice when a new tutorial is posted, or you can subscribe to my feed.

 Feel free to email me any questions you may have about this tutorial.

Camera Shake Tutorial in Cinema 4D

I posted a new tutorial for you Cinema 4D users out there. I was working on a project where I wanted the camera to shake, and I developed a camera shake method that is easy to set up. It incorporates User Data (very similar to expression controls in After Effects) to let you create a custom camera shake parameter to control on your own with Xpresso. Go ahead and check it out.

New Tutorial: Interactive Speaker using MoGraph

Head to the tutorial Page to check out my latest tutorial, where I use Cinema 4D and the MoGraph module to create a 3D speaker that is powered by a sound file.

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.

Paper Rip tutorial

Check out my first tutorial, it shows you how to create a paper rip effect in After effects. It’s a cool technique I’ve used in a few car commercials I’ve done. Check out the Tutorials Page to watch it. Sorry I’m not the best at these yet, I’ll get better at them in the future, so excuse my long-winded explanations.

After Effects – Paper Rip Effect

Tutorial: Paper Rip Effect in After Effects

This tutorial will show you how to make it appear that a big piece of your footage is being ripped off like a sheet of paper. It tears a top layer and reveals another layer beneath. This tutorial uses Photoshop and After Effects, and deals with alpha channels, track mattes, precomposing, and you need CC Page Turn or a similar page peel plug-in.
