[Tutorial] Dynamic Vellum Stitch

Today we will be creating dynamic stitching effect, inspired by the legendary E.J. Hassenfratz who did it with new Cinema4D cloth engine.

This one covers vellum setup in DOPs and manipulating the constraint properties for certain point groups.

Upcoming tutorials :)

Thanks to everyone who voted yesterday!

I think we will be doing a mix of walktroughs and step-by-step tuts, because as some of you guys correctly pointed out, some tutorials need better explanation of the crucial steps and some of them are more like an "overview" of the technique. 

P.S. I am recording anothe...

Walk-Trough vs. Step-By-Step

So as you could see, my latest tutorial was recorded live, not like my usual tutorials, which are walktroughs of a pre-made setups. I know a lot of you asked to do a step-by-step tuts, but as you can tell, they come out longer (30-40 mins)
