Motion Design School – Rigging and Animation in Cinema 4D
https://motiondesign.school/products/rigging-and-animation-in-cinema-4d
If you want to animate characters without leaving near and dear Cinema 4D, you are in the right place. In this course, you will learn how to create a rig that can be quickly and easily animated manually or automatically.
In this course you will learn everything you need to know to rig a 3D character in Cinema 4D using the Character Object. I'm going to cover everything, from the very basics, all the way to the more advanced stuff.
- In this series of CINEMA 4D and After Effects tutorials, we'll be taking a logo from its flat design to a fully-composited 3D logo animation. We'll begin by learning how to prepare the logo in Illustrator to be imported as splines to CINEMA 4D. Then, we'll add depth, rotation, camera movement, lighting and materials to bring the logo to life. We'll learn how to add some quick variation to the look of the animation with MoGraph and how to use tags to get a quick, easy, and effective camera animation. Once we set up the render in CINEMA 4D, we move on to After Effects, where we'll begin the compositing process. In the After Effects portion of the course, we'll add lens flares that play an important role in the overall look of the animation. We also add particles that help to sell the depth that we established with our camera settings in the 3D application. We finish off by adding a few realistic lens effects that punch up the final look from good, to great. By the end of this CINEMA 4D and After Effects training, you'll know how to take a flat logo and turn it into something amazing. Software required: Illustrator 2014.0.0, CINEMA 4D Studio R16, After Effects 2014.0.2, Knoll Light Factory, Trapcode Particular

Balls filling text Animation in Cinema 4D (Beginner friendly) with Octane Render. Extremely easy animation inside Cinema 4D with octane render engine.
Very beginner friendly and easy to follow tutorial. I will explain all steps and show you the basics of simulation animation in cinema 4D. I will also go over the texturing in Octane render engine but you can still follow this tutorial if you don't have octane!
For your class project, you'll create a 3D Aesthetic Retro Design Animation in cinema 4D
Below, I've included links to the 3D objects I used throughout this class, .Though, I would recommend experimenting with what you've learned: changing the colors, choosing any 3D object you want!
