I'll cover animation, object based lighting, depth of field and how to convert the outputted video file into a GIF animation in Photoshop. but I personally always do the post-production with it and I suggest you use it too if you plan to produce professional-looking animations.In this tutorial I'll show you how to animate and render simple geometries to create seamless looping GIF animations. After effects is optional, if you don’t have it installed that’s fine, you will still be able to follow along and render a final video. *This class requires Cinema 4D installed on your computer (A free trial version is sufficient). If you have any questions please let me know in the discussions section and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. If you are an intermediate or an advanced C4D user and want to learn how to create a looping video with a similar style then this class is also for you.

You should be able to follow along if you are a new Cinema 4D user. We will also learn a lot of tips and tricks along the way that can enhance and accelerate your workflow in Cinema 4D. Import and render out final animations in After effects.

Work with dynamic simulations “rigid bodies and collider bodies”.Ĭreate a simple lighting setup, materials, and basic render settings for animation in Cinema 4D. I have made sure I show you each step and why I did it this way, rather than giving you exact values and parameters to copy.Īt the end of this course you should be able to:Ĭreate a seamless loop animation in Cinema 4D. In this class, you will learn the technical process of creating seamless loop animations in Cinema 4D.
