Cinema 4D - Create a looping T-Rex animation in C4D

via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this class, you will learn the technical process of creating seamless loop animations in Cinema 4D.
I have made sure I show you each step and why I did it this way, rather than giving you exact values and parameters to copy.

At the end of this course you should be able to:

  • Create a seamless loop animation in Cinema 4D.
  • Create and animate in an 8-bit style.
  • Work with dynamic simulations "rigid bodies and collider bodies".
  • Create a simple lighting setup, materials, and basic render settings for animation in Cinema 4D.
  • Import and render out final animations in After effects.
  • We will also learn a lot of tips and tricks along the way that can enhance and accelerate your workflow in Cinema 4D.

You should be able to follow along if you are a new Cinema 4D user. If you are an intermediate or an advanced C4D user and want to learn how to create a looping video with a similar style then this class is also for you.

If you have any questions please let me know in the discussions section and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

*This class requires Cinema 4D installed on your computer (A free trial version is sufficient). After effects is optional, if you don't have it installed that's fine, you will still be able to follow along and render a final video. but I personally always do the post-production with it and I suggest you use it too if you plan to produce professional-looking animations.
