Which of these Particles Shaders is the Coolest?

I´m working on this bonus lesson about some funny C4D particles shaders (which I share tomorrow), but just because I´m very curious -and it´s just fun for me-, I want to ask you once again for your precious opinion!

SO PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE SHADER.

(Yes, the shaders have ridiculous names and yes, from tomorrow on I´ll focus on content again and not on doing polls with you;-).

C4D Particles Surface Attraction Project Breakdown

Hi Friends,

here´s a lil´scene breakdown before I will share a step-by-step tutorial for it by the end of the week. I hope you appreciate this powerful particles technique as much as I do.

Thanks for your support!

I´m excited about C4D 2024.4 Particles, but how about you?

Tell me: Are you into C4D 2024.4 Particles? Just trying to check back, if you like this new addition to C4D or not. PS: I like it a lot;-).

This upcoming C4D Particles / Magma Tutorial will be... superhot!

Friends,

You remember the 3 beautiful high-quality parfum bottle assets that I shared with you last month? Well, I think we should combine them with C4D Particles this week!

I was busy with a client project but I will deliver this one definitely by the end of this week.

See you very soon!

PS: You can show your interest/excitement in this tutorial clicking the lil´heart button :...

C4D Particles Surface Attraction Gentle Movement

Oh man, I´m having such a good time with C4D´s new Particles! These particles are attracted by these gently levitating stones and then enjoying their turbulent-flock-surface-attraction movement.

Soon...

C4D 2024.4 Particles "Waterfall"

Hi Patrons,

I decided to share this lil´bit of knowledge for free, before we dive into exclusive content again next time.

This video will show you an easy way, to let your particle movement feel way more natural and fluid-like.

Teaser for upcoming Tutorial about "Fluid Movement" with C4D Particles

Friends,

I´m just playing around with C4D´s new particles and figured out a way to let them behave in a more fluid/realistic behaviour. More on that topic soon.

Particles Pyro Advection Orb: Pyro Shader + Tech-Grid

In this final step, I play around with the pyro shader to get different looks, plus I show you how to create the tech-grid inside of our orb.

Orb is finished. On to the next challenge!

Particles Pyro Advection Orb: Particles and Liquid Shell

Alright, in this "Step 2", we will set up the mesh particle emitter and I´ll show you how I created the liquid shell. Once again, some mistakes and problem solving along the way is included, since this whole C4D native particles are also new to me;-).

Particles Pyro Advection Orb: Setting up the Pyro

My dear Patrons,

I wanted to give you a step-by-step tutorial, where we go through the whole creation process together. Mistakes and happy accidents included;-).

In this "Step 1" I show you how I set up the inital pyro simuilation, which we will use top advect our shiny new C4D particles.

C4D 2024.4 Particles Pyro Advection Orb: Scene Breakdown

Friends,

I´m gonna start with a scene breakdown and ramble about all kinds of different ingredients that I used here. This is like a rough breakdown of the scene, but don´t worry: I´m recording a step-by-step tutorial right now, so we can build it from scratch together.

The effect relies more on the pyro + fake water effect and C4D particles are more like an additional effect here, but I will focus more on particles very soon.

Sorry, I dont wanna tease too much! But: This is just too beautiful

Friends,

Sorry for a last teaser before tomorrow´s tutorial. I just came back from the gym and had a look on the first renderings and... I really like it. When I left my PC 3 hours ago, I thought: yeah, thats kind of cool. But now with a fresh eye, I´m very excited to share this with you tomorrow!

Thanks for your support and see you soon.

Which Orb would you prefer?

I´m rendering out these two versions, one with a strong external light and brighter smoke and a second one which focuses more on emissive smoke. A third option will be to comp both together. More about this in the upcoming tutorial tomorrow.

Pyro / Liquid / C4D-Particles Orb Tutorial tomorrow

Hi Friends,

I played a little bit with the new C4D 2024.4 Particles Engine and combined it with a cool pyro simulation. On top, I created a fake-liquid effect to turn it into a magical orb thingy;-).

See you tomorrow!

Create abstract Glass Objects for beautiful Caustics

Hi Friends,

this will be the last caustics tutorials and also the last lesson for march.

I´m already excited what we will do together in April! I have some ideas -probably some liquid simulation stuff- but it could also be some suprise content as always.

Anyway, I hope to see you in April and happy easter holidays to you.

One more Caustics Lesson this Week before we move on

Hi Friends,

I´m gonna share one more caustics lesson this week before we move on and dive into new cool stuff in April!

Best,

Prada Ocean Replica Scenefile

Hi Friends,

I share this file with the placeholders in the texture "brandname" and "placelogohere", so this is intended that you just replace with whatever text/logo you wanna have on the bottle.

I used an HDRI called reinforced_concrete from polyhaven, just in case if you want to recreate this very simple light setup.

Examples what you can do with the Techniques that I thought you

Friends,

I share some more examples here, what you can do with the techniques that I thought you in the latest tutorials. Just as an inspiration;-).

Prada Ocean - Breakdown

Hi Friends,

here is an in-depth breakdown of this Prada Ocean artwork. I hope you learn something new and can refine your lighting and scene compostion skills even more.

Best,

Markus

I played a bit more with the Prada Perfum bottle

Just wanted to share some shader tests that I created with the Prada perfum bottle asset.

I share some of these insight in this weeks tutorial with the prada bottle.

PS: Do you have a favorite?

Prada Ocean Tutorial this week

I think it´s always a good idea to train your/our lighting skills, therefore I will have a new lesson for you tomorrow:-). I definitely learned something, while creating this artwork today. And knowledge is there, to be shared.

Sorry, little delay: The tutorial will be there this week.

See you, Best

Markus

Dior Eau Sauvage Replica 3D Asset

Friends,

I hope you will have fun with this one.

You can download the HDRI mashine_shop_01_8K from polyhaven, if you want the same light setup like I have. 

Also feel free to put your own logo onto the bottle. Therefore just replace the "Put your Logo here" text in the supplied textures. 

Last but not least: Use something like a brushed surface roughness map in the roughness channel, so the metal behind your logo, will have some imperfections.

Please no...

Let your Renders sparkle with Caustics: Part 02

In Part 02, I finally show you how to set up your Caustics in Cinema 4D and Redshift.

I´m excited to see your renderings, so feel free to share them with me:-).

Thank you for your suport, Best

Markus
