Course Outline

Lesson 1: Using Mograph and Particles to build a logotype animation in Cinema4D . Using the MoGraph Fracture object to animate splines using various MoGraph Effectors. Animate the camera and make some f-curve adjustments to fine tune the animation. Organising layouts and object management using layers.

Lesson 2: Using Particles in combination with MoGraph Cloner and Tracer, working with Plain, Random and Time Effectors. Create some materials and link the shader properties through user data.

Lesson 3: A workshop exploring the use of MoGraph and Particles. A look at using the Matrix object to generate Thinking Particles and some of the possibilities and limitations of doing this.

Lesson 4: Part 1 of a 2 part project. Model a logo from illustrator artwork. Create a joint chain with dynamics. Intro to mirror tool. Intro to skinning and using mesh deformer to transfer deformation to parametric objects. Using the Connect object.

Lesson 5: Part 2 of a 2 part project. Create simple shaders for logo. Add sketch and toon for depth based stroke. Set up multipass renders using colour management and linear workflow. Configure AE project to work with linear colour.

Lesson 6: Breaking objects apart. Exploration of using ExplosionFX Deformer, Fracture Object, Thinking Particles PBlurp and PFragment and Dynamics. A look at third party plugin solutions.

Lesson 7: Some alternative uses for Cloth and Hair. Fixing Cloth, Belting Cloth and Cloning onto Cloth objects. Creating a bouncy hairy cloth object. Cloning polygon objects with Hair.

Lesson 8: Part 1 of a 3 part project. Taking a concept and developing it into a completed animation. In the first part we look at simple storyboards and artwork. Take the artwork and use it to construct the initial logos in Cinema4D.

Lesson 9: In the second part we expand upon the previous session. Cloner to animate clones along a spline and randomise clones. Animated offset with texture tags. Using Shader Effector for controlled rotation values. Updating XRefs.

Lesson 10: In the final project we fine tune the camera move. Work with Sort option and Modify Clone parameter on effectors. Export 3D Data and Object Buffers. Import the AEC to examine the result and possibilities available in After Effects.
