Morphing Architectural Shapes - CINEMA 4D TUTORIAL from VIDEO 4 on Vimeo.

TUTORIAL: Morphing Architectural Shapes

Welcome to a brand new tutorial. In this video I will show you how to use the pose morph tag on geometry, to create some interesting architectural deformations. So, lets start.

First we start with a cube. We change de size from 200 to 10 centimeters. After the resizing we make the cube editable. You can do this by clicking on the “make editable” icon or by pressing c on your keyboard. Now we want to move the pivot point of the cube and snap it to on of the cube’s corners. Hit P on your keyboard and a menu appears. With “Vertex snap” highlighted click on “Enable snap”. Now we can move our pivot point to lower left corner and it automatically snaps to it’s vertex point. Hit P and “enable snap” again to turn off snapping mode.

We need to position our cube on a specific point on our grid. This because we want to clone our object later on and we need to maintain a certain size and position. So let’s move our geometry to minus 100 on X and minus 100 on the Z axis. Also make sure our cube is set to 0 on the y axis to make in stand on the ground.

Now we’ll make some extrusions. Select all three polygons that face the inside of our grid. Right mouse click and select extrude or D on your keyboard. Make sure Preserve Groups is switched off and set the offset to 90 centimeters and hit Apply. The dimensions of our cube are 100 centimeters on the X Y Z axis. Like I said, this is important later on this process.

The next step is to morph this guy into a different shape. We do that by applying the Pose Morph tag. So, right mouse click on the cube and navigate to “Character Tags” and then “Pose Morph” ,and set it to Points. On top you see “Base Pose”, this is our main object. Pose Zero will be the shape we want to deform it into. So with Pose Zero selected, switch to polygon mode.

Select those two faces and move them along the Y axis, let’s say about 40 centimeters. Apply the same trick to the rest of those polygons and we created a thicker version of our geometry. Select the Pose Morph tag and switch from Edit to Animate. With the slider we can transition between the two shapes we created earlier. That looks great.

The next step is to put our cube inside of a cloner object. You can add a cloner object by navigating to MoGraph and then Cloner. Drag the cube inside our cloner and we cloned our geometry. Set the mode to Grid Array. Thats starts to look like a structure. Set the mode from end-point to Per Step and make sure the parameters are set to 100 centimeters. This because our geometry has the dimensions of 100 centimeters as well. Let’s crank up the amount of clones by chancing the Count from 3 to 6 on all axis. That looks great. Let’s create an animation.

Go to deformers and select the Morph deformer and make it a child of the cube. Now drag your Pose Morph tag in the Morph section. This created a slider controller for us to blend between the two shapes. Now set a keyframe on frame zero by clicking on the tiny circle next to Pose zero. Drag your time slider to the last frame and change the zero to 100 procent. Click the tiny circle again to set the second keyframe.

The next step is to create a camera. From this point you can create any shot you want. Use your creativity and play with different camera angles.

I hope you enjoyed watching this video, and stay tuned for a lot more upcoming tutorials! don’t forget to subscribe.

Create a Octane Light rig - CINEMA 4D TUTORIAL from VIDEO 4 on Vimeo.

Join me on Patreon. patreon.com/video4tutorial

TUTORIAL: CREATE A LIGHT RIG IN OCTANE

Welcome to a new tutorial. In this video I’ll show you how I light my scenes with a light rig I created. I’m your instructor Niels, and let’s begin.

This is the geometry we’re going to use in today’s video. First we have to switch off two bevel deformers to lower the resolution for a realtime feedback. First we create a circle spline. Change the radius to 50 centimeters and make sure it’s aligned to the XZ plane. Like this. Now we need to create a area light. As you can see it’s way to big so we have to lower the Size X and Y to 25 centimeters. Then we apply a align to spline tag to our light, and drag your circle spline in the Spline Path section. Now it perfectly snaps to our spline. The next step is a controller where our light will be aiming at. You can do this by creating null object, and rename it to Target. Then right mouse on your light and add the target tag. Drag your null into the Target Object section and as you can see the light suddenly starts facing the null target. Let’s select these three object and hit command or control N on your keyboard to group them. Rename the null to Light rig or whatever you want. The last important thing before we go to Octane is to apply a Octane light tag to our area light. Okay, now activate your Live Viewer Window and place it next to your viewport. And start the render engine. As you can see our area light is still visible in our render view. To turn it of we click on our octane light tag and switch off Camera Visibility. That’s better. Our next step is to create a camera. You can do this by clicking here in the octane viewer, or just add a camera and right mouse and navigate to OctaneCameraTag. Done. Put the camera all the way to zero and move it a little bit to the back. As a photographer I like to use a focal length of 50 millimetres, but it’s up to you off course. Now switch to our newly created camera and select the circle spline. We want to make it spin like this. So go to frame zero en set a keyframe at zero degrees. Then go to frame 40 and set the H parameter to 360 and click on keyframe again. Let’s add a little bit more frame to our scene. As you can see the light spins only once around our object. What we want is a linear and continues animation. So go to Window and Timeline F curve. Right mouse Frame all, or H on your keyboard to see our keyframes. Select our in and out points and click on linear of L on your keyboard. We want this line to continue with an offset. So click on rotation H and navigate to the right side of your screen and change After from Constant to Offset Repeat. The thin black line represents the continued animation, but as you can see only once. To add more Repetitions change the one to for example 25. There you go. And if you press play right now our light keeps spinning without stopping. Now you can do all different kind of things with you rig. You can place it above or underneath your geometry to create stunning light effects. Use your creativity and experiment with the tools you have. Let’s switch our bevel deformers back on and see light effect on our high res geometry. That looks amazing. Now to finish it all of we add some depth of field to our render. Click on you Octane Camera Tag, and under the Thinlens tab you have to switch off the Auto Focus option. Then set the F-stop to 0.5 to get the maximum amount of blur. Then in the live viewer select the picker and click on a area you want to focus on. The amount of blur is to extreme. Now change the F-stop from .5 to 1. And there you go. We created a Octane light rig for you to create some interesting lighting. You can download the scene with the geometry on my Patreon page and if you are interested in how to make geometry like this. Check out one of my previews tutorial about using multiple bevel deformers.

For my Patreon supporters I created the light rig with some X presso extensions to speedup the workflow. You can easily change the speed of the light by just changing the values instead of setting keyframe. You can change the size of the rig, the size of the light, the intensity of the light and of course the aim direction. All of this in one windows running through X presso. It’s available for download right now on my Patreon page. Make sure you subscribe for more upcoming videos. Thank you for watching and until next time!

Extrapolate from johan rijpma on Vimeo.

In this hand drawn animation a line is being extrapolated through a grid. When the line surpasses the boundaries of the grid, the process spreads to and reflects on its surroundings. Beyond each boundary the extrapolation of movement is causing deformation in a systematic but speculative way.

This work was created with support from ”Animation Artist in Residence Tokyo 2016” part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan (Bunka-cho) ”Project to invite overseas creators of media arts 2016”, the Mondriaan Fund and The Netherlands Film Fund.
