Cinema 4D Tutorial - Break Chains Dynamically

Overview

Learn how to create a realistic breaking chain using dynamics objects in Cinema 4D in this 50-minute tutorial. Start by constructing a chain link from super-accurate spheres, then prepare it for dynamic rigging. Explore Xpresso to create a simple rig for efficient copying and pasting. Master working with Fixed Connectors and implement a Dynamic Spring to force the chain open. Create final geometry using Tracer for the breaking link and Cloner for the remaining links. Follow along step-by-step to achieve a visually stunning, dynamically breaking chain effect in your 3D animations.
