Twice a month we revisit some of our reader’s favorite posts from throughout the history of Cgtuts+. Today we’re taking a look back at Tomas Sinkunas’s awesome tutorial on Animate a Dancing Ice Cream Bar in Cinema 4D and After Effects. This tutorial received a great response when it was originally published back in July of 09′, so if you missed it the first time, why not check it out now.

Thanks to Cinema 4D version R12, which just released before the brand new R13. We are able to rig and drive a car quickly and easily. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to model a simple car, then you’re going to have two options to play with using your rigged car. Either steering it as you wish, or smashing it through a wall with an added slow motion effect. All achieved right here in the Cinema 4D.

Today we’ll take some time (did you get it?) to model and animate a clock in Cinema 4D using only Xpresso. We’ll model the clock from a basic cylinder and add some simple materials and lighting to the scene. Once we have the model complete, we’ll begin animating the clock with Xpresso and add some user data to have more control over our final animation.

Today regular author Stefan Surmabojov is back with another quick tip. This time we’ll be taking a look at Biomekk’s “Select Loop” plugin for Cinema4D. This time saving plugin can greatly speed up your modeling workflow by allowing you to select entire loops of polygons. Simply select two neighboring polygons and run the “Select Loop” function and you’re done!

Today author Stefan Surmabojov is back with another Quick Tip, this time we’ll be looking at the Watermark plugin for Cinema4d by Biomekk. This handy free plugin allows you to overlay a watermark directly onto your C4D renders, and features a number of orientation, alignment and blending mode options.

In this Quick Tip by author Stefan Surmabojov, we’re going to take a look at a very useful free plugin for Cinema 4D, which will help us to keep track of the number of polygons or triangles in our scenes.

Creating nice effects with Modynamics is pretty easy with Cinema 4D’s new tools. However, to be able to create a realistic smashing effect, it’s not enough to just break the wall into pieces, we need more then that to make it believable. So in this tutorial we’ll cover using Modynamics along with particles to create this effect. We’ll employ an emitter object to easily create our particles, and then use some supplementary tools to control the effect, creating a neat, realistic animation of our wall being destroyed.

Over the course of this two part tutorial, Konstantin Muromtsev will show us how to create a truly unique, cinematic ship escape animation in Cinema4D. You’ll learn how to use various tags, the Mograph tracer object, SweepNURBS and how to switch between multiple camera angles using the Stage object. This tutorial will help you understand some of C4D’s post effects and how to create simple, yet effective standard and sketch materials for the project.
