Cinema 4D + Screen Graphics research
Cinema 4D Workshop note:
- 3d applications available for use:
Maya ( the best one)(uni for free)
z-brush (sculpting software, digital clay)
Houdinii ( produces the best simulations of nature, e.g,. sea, particles)Cinema
ma 4D (subscription)
3d Studio Max (good for architecture)
blender ( animation) (free)
CAD Applications for engineering: Fusion 360, SolidWorks, AAutoCADetc
Rendering Software: (GPU) red- shift, octane (CPU) Corona, V-ray
Particles simulation: x- particels, realflow
Game Engines:U nreal Engine (bringing assets and animating them/ no modelling/ sculpting)(free to use), Unity
3d workflows, processes
- importing assets,e., AIai files, CAD files, 3d models
- Modelling 3d assets from scratch
materials and textures
- animation
- particles, fire, smoke & fog (volumes)
Understanding processors, cores,GPUs and gpus
Processor cores
Single cores: the higher the clock speed, the faster the interaction will be in your view part for modelling and animation
- Multicores: good for architecture students (building), the more cores your system has, the faster theCPUu rendering will be
RAM- how much memory the machine can hold
GPU- essential for rendering and allows for real-time rendering
3d Screen graphics
- screen graphics enhance both storytelling and realism
- don't make it too busy
- good companies- cantina creative (marvel iron man)
- blind ltd (Star Wars, mission impossible
- territory studio (blade runner, marvel, dune, THE BOYS)
- rive- its a key emerging tool for real- time animated Ui
- used for automotive HMI
- app and product micro- interactions
- runs at runtime- not rendered video
- motion designers can animate directly for engineers
- Unreal engine + unity
- on set playback for films
-ar/ ir interface
3D tools (cinema 4d)
- aftereffects
how to enter industry
- show your process ( motion studies, iterations)
- learn pipelines used by studios ( after effects, illustrator, rive, Houdini)
- don't follow the crowd be innovative
Houdini- Houdini has become a comprehensive toolset used by leading VFX studios, animation houses, and game developers worldwide. Houdini has earned a reputation as the go-to solution for crafting stunning effects in blockbuster films, television, and games
