C4D Essential Motion Graphics: Morphed Splines

Join us every Monday in February as Maxon Master Trainers Lionel Vicidomini, Dustin Valkema and Jonas Pilz take us through essential techniques for motion graphic designers, using Cinema 4D and Redshift. Week 4 Master Trainer Jonas Pilz shows how to use a mixture of morphed splines and MoGraph to create organic effects and much more. 00:00:00 Welcome 00:05:53 Today’s content 00:06:55 X Icon Morph 00:08:01 __ Transition X to O 00:11:05 __ Problems to Morph 00:12:30 __ Matching point counts 00:14:21 __ Start and end point adjust 00:15:40 __ PoseMorph 00:16:22 Q Point direction Spline Point Direction 00:17:00 Q Why 600 points 00:19:43 __ Pose Morph [cont] 00:21:01 __ Drag objects into PoseMorph 00:21:19 __ Absolute v Relative 00:22:35 __ Animate mode 00:23:22 __ Morph Deformer, Fields 00:25:51 __ Randomizing the shape 00:28:50 __ Animating the randomness 00:32:05 __ Create an object with the Spline 00:33:52 Q Morphing among many shapes 00:38:05 Q Morphing Text 00:38:31 Emblem Structure Elements 00:40:34 __ Creating variations 00:42:35 __ Animate the “rings” 00:43:32 __ Taming the effect via Fields 00:45:15 __ Synchronizing animation 00:46:23 __ Example Radial Field 00:48:30 __ Sync [cont] 00:49:15 Deforming a surface via Spline 00:50:30 __ Remesher, tiny triangle 00:51:18 __ Effector as Point Deformer 00:55:18 Q Object on Spline to influence others 00:56:22 Q Deform a Volume Mesher result 00:58:18 Redshift Material 00:59:20 __ Curvature Node 01:00:12 __ Thinking of color as data [math] 01:02:28 __ Roughness 01:03:00 __ Material Blender [dark and gold] 01:03:47 __ Reflect for materials and finetune 01:06:19 Q RS and C4D node system equal 01:07:27 Q Fixing the gap of the X and overlapping 01:10:38 Q Substance on M1 Mac 01:11:22 Housekeeping News, Certification, and Events 01:13:25 Wrapping up and Thank you Download project files and more resources from the Demystifying Post Production sessions: https://bit.ly/Demystifying_Shared_Re...
