    Brilliant…shame it involves RealFlow, but the outcome is still really cool.

    OMG I need to learn how to do this! But I don’t have Cinema 4D =( Guess I’ll download the trial version… Does anyone know if I can just keep downloading the trial version whenever I want or I just have one chance to do it and then need to buy it?

      You can try out C4D for as long as you like, you just can’t save your project. If you want to save your project you need to activate the C4D demo and then you can use the full version of C4D for 42 days.

    You could do this easily with Blender Fluids, potentially exporting to C4D (.obj animation export) if you like, or not.
