FXPHD - C4D217 Cinema4D Project Workshop

Tim Clapham returns to FXPHD with a new Cinema 4D course aimed at intermediate users. This course consists of several short projects which will take you through many features of Cinema 4D using a practical approach. Tim covers key features such as MoGraph, Dynamics and Xpresso as well as workflow tricks to facilitate efficient production. You will explore modelling techniques, material and shader creation, lighting and rendering. 3D Rendering and compositing go hand in hand and Tim includes After Effects as part of the classes. Taking your multipass renders and camera information from Cinema 4D into After Effects to add supers, graphic elements and to grade shots. This is a fast paced course so some Cinema 4D experience is required.
Based in Sydney Australia, Tim Clapham is a multi-disciplinary animator and compositor. Evolving from a solid foundation in traditional animation using both Film and Video, Tim soon transitioned into the digital domain and has forged a solid career in the world of Motion Graphics. With over 13 years of industry experience, Tim is accomplished with many 3D animation and Digital Compositing applications.
As the owner of Motion Graphics and Animation company Luxx, Tim is hands on with every project that the company produces. With a history of working with many global Advertising and Broadcast companies, the work Tim produces is both technically challenging whilst maintaining innovation and high quality.
course syllabus
Class 1: In the first class we create a logo ID using a rig built with MoGraph and Xpresso. We create several animated shots, add materials and lighting. Finally we render the result using Cinema 4D's physical renderer. Part 1 of 2
Class 2: This week we add materials using multi-layered reflectance to the scene. Adding reflections using both HDRI and luminant objects. We animate the effectors and a camera rig. Using multiple render settings for efficiency we preview our shots and setup the final rendering.
Class 3: Building an animated map with Cinema 4D & After Effects. This week we look at the Landscape Object, DEM Earth and the Relief Object. Build texture maps in AE, then use them in combination with various shaders to create our materials. Finally we add some basic Volumetric Clouds.
Class 4: Part 2 of 2 of building an animated map
Class 5: Part 1 of 4 week class. Creating a pack shot animation. This week we model the can and ice cubes. Using knife, extrude, edge extrude, symmetry and sub-division surfaces. Using Cloner and Correction deformer to create variations and model procedurally.
Class 6: Part 2 of 4 week class. (This is an extended class at 1hr 15mins) This week we create materials for the can and the ice cube. Working with shaders such as Fresnel, Noise and the Reflectance Channels. Using Mograph to model additional elements such as condensation, bubbles and cracks.
Class 7: Part 3 of 4 week class. This week we optimize our scenes for efficiency and use proxies to speed up playback. Working with Rigid Body Dynamics as well as various MoGraph effectors to simulate the cans dropping into a pile of ice.
Class 8: Part 4 of 4 week class. We adjust the scene to make the dynamics more stable then prepare the project for multipass rendering. In After Effects we comp the passes together exploring a few options for isolating elements for colour correction.
Class 9: Part 1 of 2 week class. Introducing the Motion Tracker in Cinema 4D. We track and solve a shot then calibrate the resulted camera and features using constraints.
Class 10: Part 2 of 2 week class. Using the features we created from tracking we create some simple geometry which will allow us to reflect the scene onto our objects, catch shadows and can be used for dynamic collisions. Using multipass rendering we output the scene and create a basic comp in After Effects.

课程大纲
1班:在第一节课我们创建徽标ID使用rig建与MoGraph和Xpresso。我们创建几个动画的镜头、添加材料和照明。最后我们呈现使用电影院的结果4 D物理渲染器。2的第1部分
2班:本周我们将添加使用多层的反射到现场的材料。添加使用HDRI和光度对象的思考。我们动画效应器和相机钻机。我们使用多个渲染设置为效率预览我们镜头和安装在最后的渲染。
3类:建筑动画的地图与四维影院&后效果。本周我们看看景观对象、DEM地球和救济的对象。构建纹理映射在AE，然后使用它们与各种着色器的组合来创建我们的材料。最后，我们添加一些基本的体积的云。
建筑动画的图2第2部4班:
4周类第五类:第1部分。创建包拍摄动画。这周我们模型可以和冰的多维数据集。用刀，拉伸，边缘突出，对称性和分司的表面。使用克隆和校正变形到创建变体和程序模型。
6班:4周类第2部分。(这是一个扩展的类在1 小时15 分钟)这周我们创建材料可以和冰多维数据集。使用着色器菲涅耳、噪声和反射率渠道等工作。使用Mograph模型附加元素凝结、气泡和裂缝等。
7班:部分34周班。这个星期我们优化我们的效率的场景和使用代理服务器来提高播放速度。工作与刚性体动力学以及各种MoGraph效应器模拟罐放到一堆冰。
8班:部分44周班。我们调整现场进行动力学更稳定然后准备项目进行多次呈现。在影响后我们comp通行证一起探索分离元素的颜色校正的几个选项。
