In this video tutorial, VideoFort Don demonstrates how to break a 3D object without using a third party plug-in using Cinema 4D. By the end of this tutorial, you will learn how to create a 3D breaking object using a 3D space . VideoFort Don starts off by creating the 3D objects used in the composition. These objects consist of a flat plain and a sphere. Next, he adds movement to the spherical object through the flat object that we will be breaking. In polygon mode, VideoFort Don uses the knife tool to create segments on the flat plain. The segments are then subdivided and fractured to cut the geometry of the flat plain apart. Then, set the mode under the fracture from straight to explode segments. Right-clicking on the plain, selecting Disconnect, and unchecking “Preserve Groups” will separate the segments.

In this tutorial VideoFort Don shows you how to make a tree grow using the program Cinema 4D. In part one, we will show you how to create the image of the finalized tree. To create this image, you begin by creating an image of small plane that will be used as the base of the tree. You then make the plane editable and using the ‘hair tool’ you add hair to your plane. Next you turn off the dynamics so that the hairs you use in your image do not fall down with gravity and then you change root of your hairs to be in the center of our polygon. After this, you are ready to create the tree using the ‘Generate’ tab which allows you to add volume to the image.
