VideoFort Don is back with this tutorial on how to add a professional looking bevel to text or logos in Cinema 4D. This particular tutorial will teach you how to create the look that your text has been punched out of a piece of sheet metal. Some techniques covered include text splines, letter spacing (kerning), and using the NURBS tools to create 3D text. Don also demonstrates how to use the ‘Chamfer’ tool to create rounded edges, apply textures to objects, and create a seamless look between 3D text and a background plane. Don will teach you how create smooth seams between your text and background layer in a flash. A perfect compliment for your next text-heavy or logo animation project that you can complete in mere minutes! For more free vfx tutorials please visit http://www.VideoFort.com.

In this tutorial, VideoFort Don demonstrate how to create a growing effect using Cinema 4D. The objects that he uses in this tutorial are all created in Cinema 4D. He starts of by adding a cube object to the composition. Next, select “Cloner” to clone the cube under MoGraph. Change the Mode of the Cloner to “Grid Array” and turn down the size of the cubes. Make the Cloner larger by pulling the cubes away from each other. Elongate the cubes on the x-axis and increase the count of the cubes. Under MoGraph select Effector and select “Random” to randomize the squares. To add more randomness, change the rotation under the parameter settings. Next, enable the “Gouraud Shading” in the display settings. This will help you see your shapes better. Be sure to remove the “Grid” under the filter settings. Next, insert a “Plain” by going to Effector under MoGraph. Switch the position off under the parameter settings. Select “Uniform Scale” and set the value to “-.99” to create microscopic cubes. Drag the plain layer into the Effector under the “Random” layer. Insert a second “Plain” by going to Effector under MoGraph. Switch the position off under the parameter settings........
