As the tilte say, now you can download the preset and tutorial in pdf version, in english and italian.
You can find the files HERE or in the tutorial article.
And this is an example video created with my preset.
Cinema 4D
Rolling Cube along a path in C4D using math and Xpresso
A couple of days ago I came across this video of Maxon Training Team (channel that I recommend you follow):
This tutorial shows techniques for rolling a cube along a path using XPresso and the new Nodes system. The result is good and in certain situations it can be fine, but it is not precise, it is an approximation. I tried to look if there was a mathematical solution to the problem but in my short search I found only these other methods of solving the problem:
This is another fast and effective approach that leverages the internal physics of C4D.
Here, on the other hand, a solution is offered to obtain a mathematically precise rolling, but it would probably be difficult, to deny me if I am wrong, to adapt it to make the cube follow a path other than the straight line.
So I thought I’d solve the problem mathematically so that the cube can follow a path along a spline. But first I want to show you a short example video where I used my own preset.
Two minutes setup with C4D and Redshift
After a few months without a free time for Cinema 4D, today I wanted to give me a gift with this simple render.
3D Tracking and Realmagazine
This is the Realmagazine preset for Cinema 4D used in my first 3D tracking test.
Rendered using Redshift.
How to use Realbook with Octane render
Thanks to Maarten Vissen for this useful video.
Mandoline Slicers are Dangerous
Here’s what can happen if you use a simple mandoline when in a hurry.
Fortunately, after the first slice of a finger cut a sentient person freezes. From the previous sentence it follows that I am a sentient man.
I want to share with you this representative video of an accident that can happen with the tool I used. The product in question is the following:
Again, remember: never use certain tools if you are in a hurry.
RGB LCD Panel – Free Preset
My RGB LCD Panel preset is here.
It is an XPresso setup that works for standard render in Cinema 4D but it is possible to adapt it to any kind of render engine, I think.
Please note that the pixels in this preset are always squared.
The parameters are the follows: Continue reading
RGB LED Screen Effect with C4D
Another XPresso setup made to realize this video.
If you are interested to the project file for the RGB LED Screen effect let me know.
