Using these steps, you can quickly and easily turn just about any text in any typestyle into balloons. We'll use the cloth simulation fx + the volume tools to help. This tutorial is great for beginner and intermediate Cinema 4D users. Project File: https://www.travisvermilye.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/BalloonTextProject-1.zip Like this video?

EMERGENCE: On view every night in August 2024 at the D&F Tower in Downtown Denver This is a short clip of the full 2-minute and 15-second piece. Thanks @night_lights_denver for the opportunity! EMERGENCE is a digital exploration of creatures and forms inspired by life in the sea. I’m fascinated by the patterns, colors, and shapes of small creatures that inhabit ocean waters and seem almost alien compared to what we see on land. We begin along the shore in tall sea grasses, where fish-like eggs begin to hatch. As we move deeper into the waters, fantastical forms emerge in an ocean trench at an almost meditative, steady pace. Thanks @thirdduneproductions DuneProductions for the filming! #cgi #3danimation #projection #denverartist #sealife #sea #oceancritters #digitalart #digitalanimation #underwater #meditative

Join me for a quick demo of MoSplines in C4D. In this quick video, I'll walk through my process for creating a Christmas tree worm-like form using simple MoSpline features and a cloner object. This is great for beginner and intermediate C4D users. Project File: https://www.travisvermilye.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Mospline-FeatherDusterWorms.zip Like this video?

Getting Comfy with MoSplines in Cinema 4D
Join me as I continue to learn and test out the newly updated particle system in C4D 2024.4. I wanted to try and create some practical FX and decided to focus on making beer bubbles that appear, float to the top, and pop. We will also create a foamy head on the beer using particles and the volume builder. You'll need to update to C4D 2024.4 to follow along. This is great for beginner and intermediate C4D users.

Create Realistic Bubbles with Cinema 4D's Particle System
I'm continuing to explore Cinema 4D's new particle system, this time with the help of a previous video I made about animating a cardiac stent in an artery. This is a short one, but I think the use case is pretty common. This is good for beginner to intermediate C4D users. Check out the stent animation video here: https://youtu.be/B60yRRH6E2Q Grab the C4D files to start with here: https://www.travisvermilye.com/youtube-video-project-files/ Like this video?

Create a Drug Eluting Stent with the C4D Particle System
Join me as I continue to learn and test out the newly updated particle system in C4D 2024.4. I wanted to try and create some practical FX and decided to focus on making lots of dust particles with realistic object interactions. We'll use the cloth sim to bounce a ball and have it collide with dust particles in a believable way. You'll need to update to C4D 2024.4 to follow along.
