Ropes & Knotes Week is close!

Hi Patrons,

Next Week it´s all about Ropes and Knotes. I know, I know... it´s a niche topic but I will make it so beautiful that everyone is going crazy about those gorgous Ropes;-). Believe me, it´s a fun technique and the results are just amazing. Hope you are already excited about it because I can´t wait to share this sweet knowledge with you!

Best, Markus

Most comprehensive C4D Climbing Rope Training soon

I now...it´s kind of a niche topic but I think Rope Patterns just look so gorgous! Thats why I decided to provide you with quality Materials/Textures/SceneFiles/Tutorials on this topic very soon! I will show you exactly how it´s done. Can I catch you with this one or are you already a Master with the Rope?

Let me just share these Textures with you

As I said, I´m going through all relevant Training on Spline Dynamics right now and watched some cool tutorials today. While doing so, I built these simple Materials (I learned it from Simulation Therapy). Let me share these ones with you. I guess, I have to make my own Rope Tutorial now. I also want to dive deeper into these beautiful Rope Textures and tomorrow I will build even better ones and share them with you.

(I will upload a scenefile with the Octane Material soon)

Climbing Ropes

Hi Patrons, 

I´m always on my mission to learn the good stuff, so I can share it with you. Today I went deeper into Spline Dynamics and Ropes. I am thinking about, if I should make my own Tutorial on this topic. These are some tests I did, while studying. 

C4D Essentials: Spline Dynamics Part 2

Just a slightly more advanced setup in Part 2 for all Patrons. More advanced lessons will be out soon for higher Tiers.

I started the C4D Essentials Series right now

Just be sure you are up to speed with your Cinema 4D Essential Techniques. You need stuff like this all the time, so make sure that these basic Techniques are saved in your muscle memory so you don´t have to think for a second when your Client asks for a dynamic rope next time.

I will upload Part 2 with a slightly more complex setup later.

Let me give you my 1 YEAR GUARANTEE

Hi Patrons,

this October has been super sucessful  so far thanks to your amazing support! I´m getting goose bumbs. I have to say it again... thank you so much, you are my heroes!

Today it is time to invest these earnings back into 3DBONFIRE by investing in some new hardware (you are amazing, one of you patrons helped me with the shopping list;-). What does it mean for you? In November I want to make some intense X-Particles training and honestly, I just need...

Scenefile of the Day

Check this one. Three destroyed pillar assets plus beautiful speckled materials.

Extended Version of the latest Training

Hi Knights,

This is an extended Version of the last Tutorial. Maybe the extra time will prove to be useful for some of you. For all of you who are longing for more complex lessons: In november I will provide you with more advanced (X-Particles) lessons.

See you soon, Best

Markus

Thank you so much for being with me!

Hi my dear Patrons,

I just wanted to let you know: Your trust and support means so much to me! I've never been more motivated to push myself, learn and study the new stuff and then... share it with you. I think I discovered something with my 3DBONFIRE project, that I really love🔥.

I will continue to work hard to give you the most satisfying learning experience I can deliver. I'm just excited what will be next and thankful that I can share something that helps and pushes youðŸ...

How I used Fields and Volume Builder for Buddhas Head

Hi my dear Patrons,

This Training is available for everyone. You will learn some sweet little tricks with the  Volume Builder and Fields. Tomorrow, I hope to finish the second Part, which will be Knights exclusive.

Softbody Ribbons Bonus Training

Hi my dear Patrons,

sometimes I am so enthusiastic about a new topic and I forget previous things. I think I promised to make a second part of the Softbody Ribbons Training. Here it comes. I focus on fast techniques to build a background for your scene. It´s not complex stuff, but I hope at least... the Mograph Fields Quantize option is a little tricks some of you didn´t knew already.

Put your vegetables in bondage. Please don´t ask me why.

I´m sorry, then this is the wrong place (What were you expecting?). But! I know Cinema 4D and I can make you feel like a 3D-Beast if you take my hand and listen to my gentle, soothing voice. Brothers and Sisters, soon it is time for the new ultimative Training. 

PS: Alright...I´m sorry. I´m sitting in front of my PC since 12 hour...

I´m starting the Recording of the new Tutorial

Hi my dear Patrons,

Today I finally start recording the new Training. First, I needed to study this technique by myself and now I´m ready to share it. I will drink some tea with honey to get my voice ready and in ten minutes.... Its recording time;-). I love it.

PS: Don´t you think, these renders came out pretty sweet? Did you notice, how shameless I used the Ribbons Technique we already learned, to make the scene even more rich? ;-)

I wish you a good weekend altogether. Have Fun whatever you do: learning, chilling, family-time!

Re-Upload 3 Scenefiles for Enthusiast Tier and up

Hi Patrons,

this is the re-upload of the 3 courses menue for 3D gourmets. The kitchen chef is saying: Bon appétit.

Re-Upload SceneFile for Tutorial Supporters

Hi Patrons,

as I mentioned, I had some issues with  uploads of attachments to my posts. I upload all missing files now, starting with this one.

Missing SceneFiles! I fixed it. Tell me about other errors.

Hi Patron,

thanks for telling me about not attached scenefiles to some posts! I fixed it, and re-uploaded them. Be sure to tell me, if you discover any issues. I will take care of it, cause I want this to be as satisfying as it can be for you. For example if a certain tutorial/post is not available for your Tier ( but should be). I also fixed the issue that KNIGHTS couldn´t watch older Enthusiast content. Of course Knights get everything.

Alright, I did some hous...
