comment plz……
nice tut!thanks for sharing!
Nice Tutorial, but I have some critics.
The topic is basic, but you should work on your explanations. They are not really basic. For a beginner it is hard to get along with what you are doing, because you don’t explain some essential easy steps.
For example when you add the render-tag to the sky you should explain it or the cloner-object has to be selected when you choose an effector, cause else the effector would not work. These are the basics, beginners have to learn.
wouldn’t it have been easier to set up an object buffer to create a solid object and save an aep in order to get the transition from 3d to solid perfect? or you could use the alpha as a track matte. either way, thanks for the basix tut.
Maybe I will make my logo in this way :) could I? :) greetings
Hey awesome tutorial, thanks!
Just wondering; there is a clip at the very first 16 seconds of the first vid of a dance track – any ideas what it was? Tried tagging it in Shazam but no luck!
Cheers,
Scott
I have come to expect a certain quality of tutorial from the Envato Network and it was not present with this one.
The above Tutorial was originally recorded by Ezekiel Grand of CGTuts+ on May 27th 2010. All credit for this goes to him, to CGTuts+ and to Envato.
I have re-recorded BOTH segments of this tutorial at a higher video quality and with explanations that make the tutorial extremely easy to follow.
Part 1: http://www.vimeo.com/12353252
Part 2: http://www.vimeo.com/12362550
The reason I have re-recorded these is as follows:
1. video quality was crap.
2. tut is labeled as beginner AND basic, but Ezekiel does not explain 90% of what he is doing, creating panic about not knowing how to proceed.
3. I have learned a lot from all of the Envato tutorial sites and I am hoping that this will help ease some of the flack that Ezekiel is getting for his poor explanations; despite the problems I think it was a good tutorial and the lessons it taught were valuable information.
I think everyone that uses these sites expects a certain quality and I simply want to help them maintain that by making this a true beginners BASIC tutorial. If you have never touched Cinema4d or After Effects you will now be able to follow along. Before this, I had never touched After Effects so if I can do this… anyone can.
DISCLAIMER: Im not trying to take credit for this work. All credit, again, goes to Envato and Ezekiel Grand. If I am asked to remove these videos I will do so. All I ask it be taken into consideration that a fan of the site/network was trying to help out, and nothing more.
why render as a tiff?
Great, great lesson!
That’s how I repeated.

wow nice tut mate some times hard to follow what u do rendering takes long but still nice tutorial
i understand that these tuts are free and the people making them are trying to help people like myself with learning relatively intense programs like c4d, but it is extremely hard to accomplish anything when there are certain elements not being told.
every step of a tutorial should be explained.
remember that most of us that require tuts are completely oblivious as to how these programs work.
you have to assume your audience is completely ignorant to the task you are trying to teach.
tutorials like this one are very hard to follow.
try watching a Rich Harrington or Andrew Devis tutorial, they have a good way of teaching and explaining things to their audience.
