Cinema 4D: Cloth Simulations for Motion Graphics
Below are a few movies from my course Cinema 4D: Cloth Simulations for Motion Graphics at Lynda.com. Learn to build cloth simulations including curtains, flags and reveals with the Cinema 4D cloth system.
Dynamic 3D cloth simulation is a commonly requested feature in modern motion graphics. Cinema 4D’s cloth system offers a flexible toolset to incorporate flags, banners, and other convincing cloth simulations into motion graphics and animations.
Cloth Simulations for Motion Graphics in Cinema 4D is a project-based learning experience that follows three projects from start to finish: an animated flag blowing in the wind, opening and closing theater curtains, and a cloth-on-object logo reveal. Learn how to use the C4D Cloth tag and colliders, attach cloth to other geometry in a scene, loop simulations, correct imperfections with the morph deformer, and apply logos and other patterns to fabric.
Topics include:
-
Creating geometry for cloth
-
Working with the C4D Cloth tag
-
Using caches
-
Modeling and texturing cloth
-
Adding constraints
-
Attaching cloth to geometry
-
Creating cloth collisions
-
Adding lights
-
Animating morphs and reveals
-
Rendering the cloth animation
Learn how an object’s geometry affects the overall dynamic simulation of cloth in Cinema 4D.
Here we’ll create a flag suitable for simulation and create a texture template to easily change its look.
