Friends,
just in case you want to see an addtional short project breakdown, feel free to watch this short lesson.
Be powerful, be prolific :-). (I think this nice catchphrase is from Ash Thorp)

Hi Friends,
I just recorded a lesson on how to create a really beautiful effect without a complex setup.
If you like to achieve an impressive effect in an easy way, this could be the right lesson for you.
Have an amazing day everyone!

Hi Friends,
Nice to have you here in May 2024! Thanks a lot for your support and trust.
THIS MONTH, I will try something special! I have a big/demanding booking this month and because of that, I might not be able to give you what you deserve in May. That´...

Hi Friends,
I just felt like playing a little bit with Cinema 4D, so feel free to join me in this little freestlye lesson where I test out some cool effects. Longer and more complex tutorials will follow this month.

Okey Friends,
this one is for all of you, who felt a bit confused by the project surface-attraction scene breakdown and fell better with a step-by-step tutorial.
Be warned: This is me more or less in real time going through the technical setup, so it´s a bit longer/slower this time and I try out some different s...

Hi Friends,
I just shared a little bit of essential particles knowledge on my youtube channel. Don´t worry, more patreon-exclusive content is already in making for May and I can´t wait to dive into more exciting 3d topics with you soon:-)
See you soon! Best,

Hi Friends,
I have a lesson for you and your weekend, because...who doesn´t like to learn/study saturday/sundays? ;-)
This lesson shows you the techniques that I used for my latest particles renderings. You just have to take the knowledge and apply it to your projects.

SO PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE SHADER.

Hi Friends,
here´s a lil´scene breakdown before I will share a step-by-step tutorial for it by the end of the week. I hope you appreciate this powerful particles technique as much as I do.
Thanks for your support!
2024-04-24 17:56:38 +0000 UTC View PostTell me: Are you into C4D 2024.4 Particles? Just trying to check back, if you like this new addition to C4D or not. PS: I like it a lot;-).
Friends,
You remember the 3 beautiful high-quality parfum bottle assets that I shared with you last month? Well, I think we should combine them with C4D Particles this week!
I was busy with a client project but I will deliver this one definitely by the end of this we...

Oh man, I´m having such a good time with C4D´s new Particles! These particles are attracted by these gently levitating stones and then enjoying their turbulent-flock-surface-attraction movement.

Hi Patrons,
I decided to share this lil´bit of knowledge for free, before we dive into exclusive content again next time.
This video will show you an easy way, to let your particle movement feel way more natural and fluid-like.

Friends,
I´m just playing around with C4D´s new particles and figured out a way to let them behave in a more fluid/realistic behaviour. More on that topic soon.
2024-04-18 14:26:18 +0000 UTC View Post
In this final step, I play around with the pyro shader to get different looks, plus I show you how to create the tech-grid inside of our orb.
Orb is finished. On to the next challenge!

Alright, in this "Step 2", we will set up the mesh particle emitter and I´ll show you how I created the liquid shell. Once again, some mistakes and problem solving along the way is included, since this whole C4D native particles are also new to me;-).

My dear Patrons,
I wanted to give you a step-by-step tutorial, where we go through the whole creation process together. Mistakes and happy accidents included;-).
In this "Step 1" I show you how I set up the inital pyro simuilation, which we will use top advect our shiny new C4D particles.

Friends,
I´m gonna start with a scene breakdown and ramble about all kinds of different ingredients that I used here. This is like a rough breakdown of the scene, but don´t worry: I´m recording a step-by-step tutorial right now, so we can build it from scratch together.
The effect relies more on the pyro + ...

Friends,
Sorry for a last teaser before tomorrow´s tutorial. I just came back from the gym and had a look on the first renderings and... I really like it. When I left my PC 3 hours ago, I thought: yeah, thats kind of cool. But now with a fresh eye, I´m very excited to share this with you tomorrow!
Thanks for you...

I´m rendering out these two versions, one with a strong external light and brighter smoke and a second one which focuses more on emissive smoke. A third option will be to comp both together. More about this in the upcoming tutorial tomorrow.

Hi Friends,
I played a little bit with the new C4D 2024.4 Particles Engine and combined it with a cool pyro simulation. On top, I created a fake-liquid effect to turn it into a magical orb thingy;-).
See you tomorrow!

Hi Friends,
this will be the last caustics tutorials and also the last lesson for march.
I´m already excited what we will do together in April! I have some ideas -probably some liquid simulation stuff- but it could also be some suprise content as always.
Anyway, I hope to see you ...

Hi Friends,
I´m gonna share one more caustics lesson this week before we move on and dive into new cool stuff in April!

Hi Friends,
I share this file with the placeholders in the texture "brandname" and "placelogohere", so this is intended that you just replace with whatever text/logo you wanna have on the bottle.
I used an HDRI called reinforced_concrete from polyhaven, just in case if you want to recreate this very simple light s...

Friends,
I share some more examples here, what you can do with the techniques that I thought you in the latest tutorials. Just as an inspiration;-).

Hi Friends,
here is an in-depth breakdown of this Prada Ocean artwork. I hope you learn something new and can refine your lighting and scene compostion skills even more.

Just wanted to share some shader tests that I created with the Prada perfum bottle asset.
I share some of these insight in this weeks tutorial with the prada bottle.
PS: Do you have a favorite?
2024-03-19 18:02:12 +0000 UTC View Post
I think it´s always a good idea to train your/our lighting skills, therefore I will have a new lesson for you tomorrow:-). I definitely learned something, while creating this artwork today. And knowledge is there, to be shared.
Sorry, little delay: The tutorial will be there this week.

Friends,
I hope you will have fun with this one.
You can download the HDRI mashine_shop_01_8K from polyhaven, if you want the same light setup like I have.
Also feel free to put your own logo onto the bottle. Therefore just replace the "Put your Logo here" text in the supplied textures.
