Course details

CINEMA 4D Essentials with Rob Garrott is a graduated introduction to this complex 3D modeling, rendering, and animation program, which breaks down into installments that can be completed within 2 hours. In this installment, Rob introduces particles, a cluster of objects used to simulate effects like snow, sparks, fog, or fire, and dynamics, which allow you to define how objects interact with their environment. The course covers creating a splash effect with particles, working with more advanced Thinking Particles, and how to understand the difference between the dynamics system's rigid bodies and soft bodies.

Learning objectives
Working with particle forces and the Emitter object
Using Thinking Particles with the MoGraph Tracer
Understanding the Dynamics engine
Combining Thinking Particles with Dynamics
Creating dangling objects with spline dynamics
