Hi Friend,s
I decided to give away one lesson for free on Youtube before we dive into more patreon exclusive content again soon!
This technique might need some practise until you get the best results, but don´t worry. It´s pretty normal that you go through a lot of tri...

Hi Friends,
This is a 53 minutes lesson of "Everything that you need to know about Viscous Simulations" with the Nexus Fluid solver.
I probably will record an additional lesson with some additional slightly more advanced knowledge, but this lesson should definitely give you a g...

Hi Friends,
I will share almost an hour of "Everything that you need to know about Viscous Simulations" with you today (....the lesson is already shared by now;-).
There is just a lot of demand from clients for small/medium scale simulations like this, so that´s why I wanna deepen t...

Just a little bonus to the previous lesson, where I apply some more materials and play more with the lighting.
Next lesson will probably be a breakdown or more-detailed explanation on how to work with the Nexus Fluid Solver.

This is part 01 of the "making it beautiful" part, where I show you how I created the final rendering. I also talk about meshing and smoothing your simulations and a lot about how I like to use gobos in my lighting setup

you can also download this alternative starting file with 240 frames of a more loose simulation.

240 frames of a more loose simulation , saved as alembic files. Meant as a alternative starting file for a viscous fluid lesson in January 2025.

300 frames of one of my viscous fluid simulationes , saved as an alemibc file for everyone who doesnt want to simulate their own fluidbody for one of the lessons in Janaury 2025. It´s meant as a starting file for the "making it beautiful" lesson, so you have a nice simulation colliding with the product already in your file.

Friends,
I´ll record a "makeing-it-beautiful" lesson now and share it later with you. After that, I will create another lesson where I go through some fluid setups more in detail, so you know exactly what I´m doing to get different fluid bodies.
PS: Which of these two versions do you en...

Hi Friends,
I just wanted to share some (basic) thoughts about different fluid settings and the endless possibilies for different aesthetics and behaviours you can achieve by changing settings for your fluid body.
It´s just a quick overview to show you the possibilities and give you some excitement, probably late...

Friends,
I prepared a cool new lesson with one of the cosmetic kit assets + some viscous oily fluid simulation. Here´s a little teaser render to excite you for the upcoming tutorial.
See you tomorrow.

Friends,
I just wanted to share a short insight on different settings for the fluid solver, to get different values of viscosity. I will test more simulation settings to get a great result that I can then share with you as an alembic download.
Then we will apply beautiful shaders on our fl...

Hi Friends,
Lets start with viscous fluids for our cosmetic produc shots!
This is an intro with a basic setup and understanding of the different main parameters to give your fluid a more viscous "honey-like" appearance.
I was a bit unprecise with my explanation at some point, so let me...

As you can see, my buddy / 3D-modelling expert Julien Jiang took care, that we get some really nice all-quads topology and the details are nice and smooth. Just in case we wanna go closer with the camera for some close-up shots.
He also made sure that we have clean UV´s and created some additional labels so that we can...

Hi Friends,
this is just an alternative approach to to latest tutorial, where I use C4D´s new Particles to create a nice liquids swirls along a product. It´s always good to have different techniques in your toolkit to approach a certain effect;-).

Hi Friends,
I´m just preparing ans testing some techniques that we want to combine later when the "cosmetic asset kit" is ready, with our new 3D assets for super nice cosmetic product renderings.

Friends,
just look what Julien is cooking for us! These are just 3 models he is working on right now, but I think we will manage to create a total of 4-6 unique all-quads high-quality 3D assets with prepared placeholder textures, so that we can easily place our own logos/text/fonts on them.

I´ll just continue my studies on the Particle Nodes Modifier in C4D 2025.1.1.
I got this knowledge from the "Whats New in C4D 2025.1" video on Maxons Youtube channel, but I wanted to build it from start to finish and make my own version, just to understand it better.

Friends,
I continue to study these new particles features with the help of maxon´s youtube channel and try to condense my new gained knowledge into easy to understand beginner lessons. As you know, I´m not an expert with nodes, thats why I go slow through the techniques to really understand them.
PS: I hope ...

Welcome to 2025! Super nice to have you here.
