You’ll learn the importance of:

3D Modeling

• Use simple parametric primitives to model basic characters for animation.
• Use the ‘make editable’ function in conjunction with extrusions to add detail to your characters.

Animation

• Use deformers to make the characters dance.
• Refine the characters movements using Cinema 4D’s dope sheet and timeline F-Curve editor.
• Animate cameras throughout the scene and learn to use the stage object to switch between cameras.

Texturing

• Learn how to apply textures to the characters and environment
• Animating texture parameters

Lighting

• Learn to use spot lights with the visibility and noise enabled to highlight the musicians.
• Use of fill lights for the dancers and disco balls.
• Spot lights with gobo effects animation using the ‘align to spline’ tag.
• Create rays of light using the MoGraph cloner, cylinders, and semi-transparent materials.

3D Rendering

• Learn about Cinema 4D’s render settings and how to export your 3D animation. Output, size, film aspect, frame range, save function/path, and anti-aliasing will be covered.

Post Production in After Effects

• Vignettes, masking, track mattes, color correction, noise, blur, and creating smoke effects using fractal noise.

Final Output

• Setting up the final render in After Effects, adding compression, sound, and specifying a file path.
