Yes, I knew it... this bottle will cast some delicate caustics!
2024-03-14 14:52:45 +0000 UTC View PostCaustics will work great with this Bottle
I´m gonna share a bottle, especially for powerful caustics with you this week. I wanted something, with a complex structure of the glass to break light into those beautiful caustics that we all love. This bottle will be perfect for this upcoming lesson this week.

Hi Friends,
in this first part I speak about Quixel Bridge assets and how I set them up, so they look good in C4D + Redshift. In part 02 I will break down my projectfile / light setup.
Have a nice weekend,

Hi Friends,
I´m working on this new tutorial where we combine our perfum bottle with some megascan assets, aiming for a mysterious/dark mood with this one! I will share this lesson tomorrow with you.
See you soon.

Hi Friends,
because I´m still finishing a delayed client project, I wanted to share another asset with you, so you have something to play with already. (Later when I start lessons with this bottle, I will also share a complete projectfile with lights, materials/textures and all that stuff.)
After I finish some more lighting lessons with the Dior - Homme Parfum inspired bottle, I wanna do liquid sims in combination with this aquatic fragrence. But yeah...one after the oth...

Friends,
I´m sure most of you know this, but just so everyone is in the same boat;-):
Setting up your lights like this, can be very versatile and useful, especially when lighting products.
See you soon in a longer lesson!

Hi Friends,
I´m gonna share this Dior Homme Parfum starting file already with you, so we can go through the process of applying materials, recreating some lighting scenarios and adding other assets like twigs/stones/... to it.
But feel free to already play with it a little bit by applying some simple transmissive shaders and put in some lights, before we go through the process together

Hi Friends,
Probably on the weekend I will share with everyone in the Knights Tier the Dior - Home Parfum bottle and hopefully manage to upload a first lighting lesson on sunday!
But, just to show you... progress is going well already on the next bottle. With this one, I wanna go for another theme with you and combine this aquatic fragrence with some fluid simulations.
All Quads, No-Shortcuts Quality ;-)
My buddy is going all-in here, no shortcuts, all quad-topology. This asset will hold up for the smoothest close-up shots!
Sorry Friends, but...I´m excited haha and wanted to share this with you.
WIP Dior - Homme Parfum Bottle
Friends,
Here are some work-in-progress shots for a parfume bottle by Dior. First, we will go for "Homme Parfum", a very classy bottle. Very luxury and elegant in it´s simplicity, but trust me: You will get some amazing shots out of this one!
The plan is to use this asset for different lighting-exercises with warm lights, maybe we will look at some commercial shots and try to re-create/learn from them, before we follow our own ideas.
Let´s create a Beauty / Perfume Commercial in March!
Hi Friends,
This is ONE of the most common tropes in 3D design and I think it is time that I share my knowledge on this topic with you guys! I had the privilege to work for several clients in the beauty and fashion industry lately, so I think I have a good understanding what´s important in this design discipline. PLUS: If you want to work in the industry, there is just a lot of demand ...

Hi Friends,
just wanted to share another file, where I tested a rigidbody simulation with chains.
I will share a tutorial with some further techniques soon, but I thought: Maybe you want to play a bit with this project file already.
As I mention in the shop´s product description: You can duplicate the null object 1 mutliple times and place them behind each other, to make the simulation more complex.
See you soon,

2024-02-18 16:49:13 +0000 UTC View PostChains Project-File
A project-file, where i tested a rigidbody setup with chains. ( I used C4D 2024) To make the simulation more rich, you can just duplicate the Null-Object "1" multiple times and put them close behind each other. But be careful: Depending on your system, a certain amount can be too much. I went with 11 copies, for example.

In case your not a big fan of C4D ropes, maybe this upcoming lesson with chains can warm your heart.
Some Results created with the "Rope Dynamics Testfile"
Ok, I have to admit! It´s not my best work, but I just wanted to test a rope dynamics setup. In case you want to see what you can get out of it, just download the file in my patreon shop.
Next one will be more cool, ok? ;-).
