Hi Friends,
You will get 3 C4D projectfiles, with different arrangements of costum-made sushi assets.
Most assets are still procedural, so you can change parameters.
I think the scene is cool to just play with different compositions and train your design skills with a limited amount of objects + you can also study my simple light setup.
Exercise: Start with one of the files and create a little mini-series of 3 artworks just like me!

Sorry Friends,
I´m just trying to optimize quality and wanted to ask, if you had/have issues with the audio quality of my tutorials so far.

Friends,
This one is quite a powerful technique and I guess it´s a very good idea to add this to your skillset;-). I hope you like this one and I wish everyone of you a nice weekend!

Friends,
I just uploaded 5 projectfiles as a FOLDERS shop product for you to download.
It´s a free download for Knights tier members (like most of the shop items).

This includes my C4D files with a 3d model of a folder, inspired by the micosoft folder icons.
I also added 3 documents in different formats and 6 simple document textures.
You get 5 different versions of the folder, where I arranged the 3d elements differently to get nice renderings.
On polyhaven.com you can download the two hdri´s that I use for free.

Friends,
My buddy Dino is back with his second tutorial, sharing a delicious and simple recipe for super-tasty-high-calorie Creamy Swirls!
I definitely had fun watching his lesson this morning :-). Maybe you also wanna check out my previous post, where I just share some creamy ideas/setups that just came to my mind.
Thanks Dino, for the inspiring lesson!
(I might share one or two of my C4D files soon with you...

Friends,
look what I created, after watching Dino´s second tutorial, were he reveals his cream recipe!
I just watched it and learned some nice tricks! I took it as an inspiration to play with some creamly simulation ideas this morning.
(Maybe I can share my C4D file later)

Upcoming delicous/tasty/creamy Cream Lesson this Week!
I´m already studying Dino´s next lesson and I promise you, it´s a very fun and powerful technique. Perfect for abstract Caramel/Chocolate/Candy-Cream shots!
I´ll probably also share my results + projectfile with you, let´s see.

here is another usecase of "triggering keyframed animations with fields", to create a shot similar to what you can see in Tendrils "Unveiling the next generation of OneDrive" at 0:48 - 0:55.

Friends,
Common! Let´s finish the "making it beautiful part" this month, because we want to focus on animation and other cool stuff in August!
The main take-away in this lesson is, how to create a really nice paper-like shader.
Lighting Breakdown will be there in a couple of days, so we can focus on other new stuff in August.
Have a nice weekend everyone! Best,
Markus

Friends,
just to let you know: In the next two lessons, I talk about how to build a simple but powerful light setup to create styleframes or animation shots really fast.
I also want to talk a bit about paper shaders with some lovely see-through qualityies to it.
See you soon!

Alright C4D Friends,
We got to start somewhere and this time I will take you with me through the whole process of creation, starting with modelling our costum 3D asset, so that we can later animate/simulate our beautiful unique shot.
You can also wait a couple of days until I just share a C4D file and join this mini-series when we dive into animation/simulation. Totally up to you, depending on which of your skills you want to level-up.

I worked on several looks for this weeks new lesson and just to excite you a lil´bit more for the new training... I dare to ask this extremely important question: Which one is your favorite folder?
Only one can be the true king/queen, to rule them all... so choose wisely.

C4D Friends,
you woudn´t believe in what kind of strange obstacles you run, if you want to trigger the keyframed animation of objects with mograph fields.
I know, I know... Sounds pretty simple. But i´ts quite a challenge with C4D actually. Keep in mind: You don´t want to have the objects animation be depended on the falloff of your mograph field. But you just want to really trigger the animation.
Here for example, you can see microsoft folders with some ...

Friends,
Some months ago, I already wanted to create a tutorial series inspired by the awesome "Microsoft Design" spots, created by some of the best 3d studios/artists on this planet. Sadly I didn´t pushed it very far back then because of other projects/ideas/responsibilities/C4D-releases/life.
But today I stumbled upon the 2024-07-09 17:55:01 +0000 UTC

Friends,
here are some looks that you could create with the latest pyro simulations / particles advections tutorial.
I increased the amount of particles to a shot of 6.000.000 (this can be a bit intensive, so I would suggest to go with a lower value). Plus, I added another group/emitter with only 6.000 big particles, to have some bigger chunks in the shot.

Friends,
I broke down another C4D content browser file, so it is easier to absorb the knowledge.
This effect can be really nice for these soccer shoe /speedboat /car/fast-object shots we all love.
PS: For the thumbnail, I created two separate particle systems/groups, so that I have a lot thin lines with just a bit glow, and in the other system just some thicker lines with an intense glow.

Something pretty simple and basic everyone knows: If I don´t keep myself accountable for my goals/developments, no one will do it for me.
That´s why I developed different systems which help me and I thought it could be interesting for you to see my daily habits/routine, which give me a powerful feeling of control over my achievements, goals and career.

Hi Friends,
this lesson is more of a small reminder of the importance of time tracking your efforts (of course you can also do this in an app). At least for me, it´s a very motivating tool to track my invested hours in different topics/fields and record my progress in a more structured approach.
Of course as a freelancer you are reponsible to keep track of your invested time into a certain project. I´m just very precise about ...

Alright Friends,
this is a very detailed breakdown of my projectfile, which I shared with you yesterday. LOTS OF C4D Particles knowledge in there, for sure. This will be very useful, if you want to know how to create complex looking particle scenes with C4D´s native particles engine.
Next tutorial will probably be something completely different by the way.
