Mograph Techniques: Dynamic Falling Objects in CINEMA 4D

1h 7m Intermediate Feb 27, 2014

Create your own "pennies from heaven" scene with CINEMA 4D. This project based learning experience shows how to use C4D's Dynamics module to animate falling coins that bounce and collide realistically. EJ Hassenfratz sets up a particle emitter to create a stream of coins from above, uses rigid body tag properties like mass and density to apply real-world physics, and the Dynamic module settings to control object interactions. He'll also show how to add polish to your project using blur and depth of field in After Effects.

Topics include:

Setting up an emitter  

Adding collider body and dynamic body tags  

Adjusting force and collision settings  

Baking the animation  

Rendering and finishing in After Effects  

Subjects: Video Motion Graphics Projects

Software: After Effects CINEMA 4D
