Imaginary Forces’ “Hand-Drawn” Style Keeps Pace with Nike Imaginary Forces has worked on many Nike projects over the years. But the CG animation they created for the company’s new running shoe, the Nike LunarEclipse+ 2, stands out as something different. While Nike’s creative brief outlined a spot that would use the stride of a runner to showcase the shoe’s Dynamic Fit technology in a simple way, it was up to the Imaginary Forces team to come up with a look and an arc for the story. “We decided on a hand-drawn style for the animation, which I think got us the job, in a way,” recalls Charles Khoury, who directed the spot and led the Imaginary Forces team on the project. “There’s something about the quality of the lines that make things look more personable and emotional than they would with a CG-rendered foot.” Imaginary Forces used Cinema 4D’s Sketch and Toon to create the hand-drawn look of the otherwise high-tech spot, which follows the choreography of a runner’s varying strides.

Cinema 4D Tutorials and Tools for Motion Graphic Designers Congratulations to Michael Rinnan for winning the Five Second Project for March. His entry had a great concept and was outfitted with excellent lighting, atmosphere, camera movements and sound design. We wanted to know a little bit more about Michael’s entry, so we asked him a few questions regarding his workflow and the process for creating his winning piece. Where do you work? What is your title? Tell us about what you do at your company. I am a 3D generalist at NFL films in Mt. How did you come up with your concept for the Bright Lights Five Second Project? For my concept, my goal was to come up with a quick story I could tell in 5 seconds. What was the most challenging thing about your project? The most challenging part of this project was honestly the lighting. Tell us a little about how you achieved the zolly (push-pull zoom) effect. To achieve the zolly, I initially mapped out the motion of the motorcycles with a spline and then dropped a camera onto that motion path.

You are obsessed with keeping your entire scene parametric. Yes, you! Of course you should be saving iteratively and keeping an accessible parametric version in a safe place for when the client comes knocking, but all those Extrudes, Sweeps, Symmetries, Bends, Twists etc are killing your viewport and render speed Its no secret that C4D struggles when trying to calculate a lot of objects, but it’s important to note that this isn’t directly linked to the amount of polygons within a scene. This is not so cut and dry.
Create Explosive Typographic In this tutorial I will walk through the steps I used to create this illustration to bring alive the word “collide.” While you may not find yourself needing to recreate the word “collide,” I hope you will find useful the techniques I will cover: - extruding text in Cinema 4d - using displacement maps in Cinema 4d - using the explosion deformer in Cinema 4d - exporting to photoshop from Cinema 4d - unique color enhancing techniques in Photoshop - various layer modes applied in Photoshop for great light effects (A basic knowledge of Cinema 4d and Photoshop is required) STEP 1: Creating 3d text I created a new document in C4d and added some text with the built in text tool. I typed the word COLLIDE in the Attributes manager. I applied Extrude Nurbs by making it a parent of my text. Parent/child relationship shown above in my Objects Manager. There’s a small problem at this point: The word “collide” is treated as one object and I want to manipulate the individual letters.
