C4D cloth 2023 partA (VIDEO TUTORIAL)
Hey friends!
In the dusk of 2022, I bring you the first case study that I did with the new C4d. I intended to do a Houdini grain/snow tutorial as xmas bonus but unfortunately I am sick for the last 3 weeks. It was hard to switch gears again as lately I am on top of c4d to catch up with all the updates. But, I hear you,...
Implications of AI as is (NOT A TUTORIAL LOL)
Hey guys,
This year instead of shinny balls and snow shaders, I decided to do a different type of video and have a monologue about the heated concept of AI :) As you might be aware I was one of its most early adopters with beta access to various tools. I already posted some first impressions few months back 2022-12-14 00:08:00 +0000 UTC

Let's explore how to control dynamics with precision via keyframes. This approach is for s26 Cinema4D, kind of "old way" of doing things, but not everyone is on the latest version. So this can come in handy in many cases plus is a good intro to 2023 new animation dynamic controls.
Let me know what you think!
