After Effects: 3D Space Basics
Views: 26556
Likes: 93

  In this After Effects VideoFort Jon shows you how to place and manuever object into a 3D space. Start out by creating a new solid the size of your comp. From there go to you Effects and Presets pane and search for “CC Particle World”. Drop this effect onto your solid layer. This effect is a 3D aware effect and works in a 3D plane. If you add a new layer camera you can navigate through the 3D space using the camera and switching between the Orbit Camera, XY Camera, or the Z Camera. From here you can add some media, pictures or video. Once you have added the new media you can put it in the 3D plane by clicking the 3D layer box in the Comp layer window. All positions are key frameable, play around with it and show us what you can do!...

Cinema 4D: Model Road Tunnel Pt 1
Views: 22734
Likes: 159

In this http://www.VideoFort.com Cinema 4D Model Road Tunnel tutorial Pt. 1, VideoFort Don shows how to model a Road Tunnel, based off of an online image. Start by loading the image into the front viewport, and onto a plane. This allows the model to be viewed in this perspective, without having to jump through other views. Than create a plane, hit C, to put it into an editable mode. As many of the objects and shapes are very simplistic and the sides are rather similar, select symmetry to mirror across the axis. Going to edge mode, and hitting extrude allows you to manipulate the edge, creating new walls and corners to play with. After creating this basic section of the tunnel, it is time to create the more detailed items within the tunnel, such as the rails and lights. By creating multiple cross-sections this will allow you to create sections that can be changed. Bevel becomes a useful tool when creating edges or submerging areas, to create holes. Creating a cylinder will allow a basic shape for the start of your tunnel rails. Slimming the cylinder will give you a more realistic and ideal shape. Another way to create a.......

Likes: 138

In this video tutorial, VideoFort Don demonstrates how to create the Light Trail effect seen on the Light Cycles in Tron using Cinema 4D. By the end of this tutorial you will learn the basics of creating the light trail behind the Tron Light Cycle and learn how to refine it to make it more realistic. VideoFort Don first creates a scene where the light cycle can be seen moving through the shot and past the camera. The light cycle is attached to a track that features a null object carrying the 3D light cycle. A new null is created and parented to the existing null object found on the track. By parenting the new null to the existing null, the new null will acquire the same attributes for position and rotation used for movement. A rectangle is added and scaled using Sweep Nurbs to create the trail behind the light cycle. next, VideoFort Don then adds material to the rectangle to create color to the light trail. Adding material to the rectangle enhances the appearance of the trail, making it look more genuine....

Likes: 116

In this After Effects Tutorial VideoFort Jon shows you how to incorporate trignometry into expressions to create a sprial effect using Trapcode Particular. Start out by creating a new comp 1920×1080, 24 fps, duration 10 seconds. Now create a new light, make the light type Point, and make sure to call it “Emitter”. From there create a new solid and apply The Trapcode Particular effect, and rename it Particular. Now change the emitter type to light and bring the Velocity and Emitter Size values to 0. Select the Emitter layer and press p on the keyboard to bring up the position and set a first key frame. Now move forward in time and move your Emitter to another position to set the second keyframe. Now you should have a motion where the light particles travel from one keyframe to the next. Now option click on the Emitters’ position stop watch to bring up the expression controls. Type in the following expression: x=Math.sin(time*10)*50; y=Math.cos(time*10)*50; z=time*100; [x,y,z]+value Now scrub through your comp, your Emitter should be doing a spiral across the screen. Sin and Cos are the trigonometric functions creating the spiral. 10 is the frequency or the amount of spirals that.......

Learn how to turn a platonic shape into a soccer ball using Cinema 4D. Start out by creating a platonic shape and setting its type to Bucky. From there you need to get rid of the line separating the polygons into halves. To do that select each polygon individually and melt the two halves together. Then VideoFort Don shows you how to extrude the polygons to give your soccer ball a rounded look. Now you can add texture and color to the ball by creating two new materials, one white and one black. Apply the white material to the entire ball. After you’ve applied the white, select the center most segments of the 5-sided polygons, then go to selection, grow selection. Notice the next segment of the polygon fill, hit “U I” to repeat this until all segments of the 5-sided polygons are filled. After you have all the 5-sided polygons selected you can apply the black material to the ball. You should now have a ball that resembles a soccer ball....
