In this tutorial, I use Cinema 4D, Mograph and the Random Effector to animate a simple logo. I also show you how to texture your text with different textures for the front and sides. Finally, we animate a camera using CS Tools Easy cam and prepare our animation for render.

:-O nice….
As i stated on Facebook, Nick your videos, and tutorials are amazing man!!! I’m working on a video right now for a contest. And I needed a logo tutorial with After Effects and Cinema 4D. And you pulled this one right in the NICK of time!! lol. If I win the $50K, i’ll mention your blog at the awards ceremony. I appreciate the content in which you produce. It’s truly inspiring for a student like me!!
gorgeous looking forward to it! Still finishing up ice cube tutorial.
http://fontfabric.com/mod-font/ Here is the font!
Yoshi on March 24th, 2010 said...
Thanks for sharing the font mate
Splendid as always!
Great tut so far
i also have been looking for som tutorials on presenting logos in different ways (for a upcoming reel), and this one looks really cool 
Also i have a small suggestion, if you could make a couple of small tutorials on how the different stuff (Tool, objects, effectors) in MoGraph works that would be really cool.. kinda like the ones you have made with the nurbs tools and the CS-tool tutorials
Hehehe, is this a future tutorial Nick? ^^

And yes, it is a safe link
Paul Agostinelli on March 24th, 2010 said...
hahaha, I saw that one or two frames fly by in the video too, I thought the same thing “I want to see more of that ball project!”
awesome dude … i just found out your site yesterday … and i’ve already watched like 10 tutorials hahaha … i just got Cinema 4D i think it is much more dinamyc then 3D max and i love it
hopefuly watching some more tuts today =)
Raphael Ribeiro on March 24th, 2010 said...
first time using Cinema 4D :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdJhpL6bbAc
very nice program loved it!
Nick great work! I forgot the trick with C1/R1!
Wow! Nice!
Hi! exellent tutorial
i try to do this…
please… do you make a tutorial in how to create the intro in the videos of http://www.robertleger.net/howto/index.php?view=01A
the intro only… please
sorry for mi english.. i hope you understand me :S
bye..
The Gorilla on March 23rd, 2010 said...
That is pretty cool. You should ask him though. Looks like he is a cinema 4D guy himself.
Rado on March 23rd, 2010 said...
come on, why dont u just ask robert himself?!
he´s a nice guy,and can give u certainly some hints,how he did this intro!
btw nice tut,nick
Danielw on March 24th, 2010 said...
Alan, if you find out how to make i plz post a link… looks really cool i would like to know as well
when i put the big soft box on top I don’t get the reflection on the text at the top just more toward the sides of the text. HELP!!! nick
The Gorilla on March 23rd, 2010 said...
Move it back in the scene a bit. It’s all about the angle from the camera.
man, thats awesome.. looks so great but its so simple, too. great work, gorillaboy
Awesome Tutorial Nick
I knew mostly how to build it when I saw the preview. I found that out with luck, but never toughed you could create something cool out of it.
Also I got an unrelated question. Could you do a tutorial related to sound? All the animations look cool, but the sound gives an awesome feeling to it when done right.
Ones again! Keep up with this, you are a true inspiration for me!
Here the download of the font…

Chamir on March 24th, 2010 said...
Thank you!!
Mr Campbell, you did it again! You really boost my learning curve.
Hahaha awesome how you say my name
no YOU ROCK ^^
Thank you so much
Looking forwart to part 2, im gonna make it when my imac is repaired =]
Thanks again!
Just wanted to point out that, towards the beginning where you increased the spacing cause the letters were touching, you can also check “constrain” under the Caps tab, which basically compensates for the extra width from the bevels.
Happy to see a new tutorial- looks beautiful, and can’t wait for part 2!!
Matt Frodsham on March 23rd, 2010 said...
Yep, everyone needs to know this. They should put a big red sticker on the box. Especially if you’re extruding someone’s logo – you don’t need extra thickness messing it up, but this goes for fonts in general. They’re designed to look that way, not for us to stick extra crap around the edges in stuffing up the counters haha.
Constrain your caps!
The Gorilla on March 24th, 2010 said...
Yeah, I forgot to do that. The fatness of that font tricked me
It’s definitely a good tip that you must always constrain caps when dealing with logos.
i noticed with mograph text when you make it editable it creates null inside of null, i wonder if this is any relation to the “adding a null above” scenario like in your tut Nick?
Dude,
Been a fan for a long time. Great tutorials as always!
Quick question, probably super basic for you, but is stumping me a little.
Can you point me in the right direction on how to duplicate the effect used for this Creative Cow Masters Series Intro (the part where the Creative Cow logo falls to the floor and bounces a little before settling down):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye8J8a_QD-4
Is this done in C4D, Realflow, After Effects, or what?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Nick.

Danielw on March 24th, 2010 said...
I think they just used the MoDynamics part of the MoGraph module in Cinema 4D… it is very simple and eazy to use and you can even find som tutorials on it here…
If you have MoGraph 2 (it is in c4d r11.5)
http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/2009/09/intro-to-physics-and-dynamics-in-mograph-2/
or
http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/2009/07/intro-to-dynamics-in-cinema-4d/
hope this helps
The Gorilla on March 24th, 2010 said...
That should be pretty simple to do with Mograph 2 and Modynamics. Just follow my dynamics tutorials but use a cube instead of a sphere. It’s actually pretty similar to what I did for these REWORK endtags. Hope that helps.

… thanks guys for the help! I’ll check it out and get to work!

Checck out this Drop To Floor plugin for keeping y axis equal to 0. Hope that helps :]

amazing nick , u rock man ! fo’ real !
it’s great. thanks for the lessons. and zvinite for my bad English. I am from Russia:) I would like to see a lesson here on this subject with crystals and their deformation http://vimeo.com/10159749
one word….AWESOME!!!!!!
You’re now officially better than the video copilot for me as a 3d/motion blog. Tho’ you’re having different styles and provide different techniques you’re deconstruction politics is a very nice addition to the site. Tasty stuff.
Hi Nick! Nice and very helpful tutorial:) I have one question though: if I switch to ‘explode segments and connect’ mode in the fracture object, the coloring method with c1-c2 only works for the first character. Do you have a solution? Many thanks, Attila from Hungary
Hi Nick, awesome tutorial there. Waiting for the second part.
just a suggestion here…. I love ur dynamics animation clip you did for the last christmas. (the falling candy animation). Could you show us how to do that? I mean the second part where the candy forms a christmas tree.
thanks
Can’t wait for part 2….aargh in fact I am waiting for my part one to render.
Thanks Nick!!
Hi Nick…. another sick tutorial.. as standard!
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a little problem I’m having – When i try and drop a texture onto my text object, it doesn’t show in the render. I have to apply it to the fracture object, but then it doesn’t let me split it across C1, C2 etc.
Any suggestions?
Keep it up man…. I’m guna buy the light kit right now! lol
Cai on March 24th, 2010 said...
I’m using r10.5 if that makes a difference?
nate on April 5th, 2010 said...
i had the same problem.
using r11
Erik Topolski on May 13th, 2010 said...
I’m having the same problem as well with R11
I just started using cinema 4d a couple weeks ago and i was wondering how to import the bifurk text into c4d. Can someone please help me?
Yoshi on March 24th, 2010 said...
If on a mac, just double click on the font (not IN cinema) and hit install then start up/restart Cinema and u will see the font like Nick does.
king on March 24th, 2010 said...
thank you!
Wow, great tutorial. Thanks so much for taking the time and share the fx with us.
Hey everyone, on my C4D R11.5 i don’t seem to need a NULL object. The Letters are rotating fine, however I cannot get them to explode. Either way, with or without NULL object. Does anyone has a source file here. I just cannot get path this obstacle.
Dave
king on March 25th, 2010 said...
i have the same problem
Dave on March 26th, 2010 said...
@King, i figured it out what we do wrong. You must click the FRACTURE OBJECT first and then go to the menu and select the MoGRAPH RANDOMIZER. If you don’t select the fracture object it won’t work.
It seems first not like a big deal but somehow Cinema requires you to select the object you want to have randomized.
Just follow then Nicks steps and add the Null Object. Worked now for me.
Dave
Cool tut again Nick! I have a question though, you “tricked” us in believing you added a floor to your project
But instead you chose to use a plain (like you always do), but what are the benefits of using a plain instead of a floor?
Patrick de Bruin on March 24th, 2010 said...
I meant plane of course
The Gorilla on March 24th, 2010 said...
A floor is infinite and can cause problems with lights and rendering. The plane allows me to do that gradient trick where we fake the lighting around the logo and then fall the edges off to black.
Patrick de Bruin on March 24th, 2010 said...
Cool, thanks! I’m still a bit of a noob in Cinema
Bran on March 24th, 2010 said...
You can also set the plane to 1×1 segments… easy rendering
if u r not deforming it
Nick, you’re my personal Jesus… Bless you.
http://fourpictures.com/g.mp4
just a try to go in a quick
fractma on March 24th, 2010 said...
Nice one Bran!
Well thanks so much for a great tutorial Nick, I just discover your site a couple of weeks ago and all the content you publish is just amazing, keep the good work and I’m really looking forward to purchase your HDRI Light Kit Pro. Greetings form Mexico
Nice tutorial Nick! Here’s my version
http://www.tdwlm.fi/idaho/tdwlm.mov
The Gorilla on March 25th, 2010 said...
Dig it. Love the backwards animation.
Great tutorial! .. I was wondering if you had a tip on how to get reflection falloff and still save render time?
My Exclude object in the compositing tag of the floor plane is not working.
There some special setting to flag?
I’m using Cinema 4d v. 11.514
Magic on March 25th, 2010 said...
Did you put the compositing tag on the floor plane or the light plane?
Denny on March 25th, 2010 said...
On the floorplane
Magic on March 25th, 2010 said...
try putting it on the light plane and exclude the floor plane in that…
Denny on March 25th, 2010 said...
Thanks man, it’s working fine in this way!
Magic on March 25th, 2010 said...
haha don’t thank me, thank Nick! It is how he explained it in the tutorial ;O)
The Gorilla on March 25th, 2010 said...
Thanks for helping with that, Magic. Cheers.
Thank you Nick for sharing this awesome tutorial !
I have a request, please
Can we enjoy a new tutorial on how to do this : http://s3.amazonaws.com/videos.vimeo.com/179/679/17967976.mov?AWSAccessKeyId=0MG9FJ7W1FZ5MBJXGS02&Expires=1269522609&Signature=sldgu%2FpAHx8d4kLT01zAp9cOoSI%3D

Im sorry Mohamed, But I believe Nick is incapable of re-creating such a beautiful effect like the one showed above. Sorry, but I just think is too much of an amateur to do so.
(trying to inspire nick to prove me wrong by making a tutorial indeed post)
lol
Hi Nick,
Just found out about you a couple of days ago and already lovin your tuts! I’m new to C4D but been doing some work in 3DSM a few years back. And with your awe tuts C4D is working like a charm!
But I am having a bit of a problem in this particular tut. And it’s the NullObject. The thing is that when I add the materials shown in the tut to the Text Object and then add the NullObject in between the Fracture Object and the Text Object, the materials jump off! And all the tasty colors goes gray/standard. And then when I take away the NullObject the materials are jumping back on, but then without all the nice fracturing going on.
Do you know any way to make a workaround for this? I know that you said that the NullObject-fix is some kind of a bug in the software, but I figured that you’ve encountered this before.
Any help from you would be more then appreciated!
Thanks!

Marcus on March 25th, 2010 said...
Oh, btw, this is what my setup looks like:
http://marcusogren.se/dump/textani.png
The Gorilla on March 25th, 2010 said...
That is weird, Marcus. I have never seen that before. Let me ask around to try to find an answer. Anyone else have this problem?
Marcus on March 25th, 2010 said...
I think I tricked C4D. Instead of applying the materials directly on the Text Object, I applied it on the Fracture Object. And it seems to work!
Thanks a bunch anyways!
Khary on March 30th, 2010 said...
i have the same problem im using R11.008 when you add the material to the fracture object it applies the aterial to the whole and the c1 and c2 selection trick dosent work
John on April 5th, 2010 said...
I have the same problem i can’t find a way to fix it yet hope someone find an answer.
Matthew on April 7th, 2010 said...
wow..
I was about to ask the same thing ! I tried at r.10 and r.11, both having the same problem.
After you parent the text to the null, the material goes .. poof… back to grey
Rick on May 15th, 2010 said...
Same problem here (C4D 11)… Anyone found a solution?
Shinobidesign on May 16th, 2010 said...
hey guys… I solved the issue, just scroll down a bit for the answer
my version so far
http://www.vimeo.com/10431920
Maybe after part 2 I will update the things done in after effects…
http://dvein.com/
Nick, Thank you so much for your site. I discovered you a couple of months ago and now i check your site almost daily. Your instruction has helped me understand how to make better looking product. Thank you so much for all you do. I greatly appreciate it!!!
God Bless
I noticed you changed the spacing between the letters in this tutorial. “Kerning” it stinks that within Cinema you can only do global kerning. NIck when you go to the Cinema 4D convention. Could you ask them to include per letter kerning in the next version of Cinema.
Hi Nick, I have some troubles setting easy cam, i even checked you tutorial about it.
I dis exactly as you show, but when I go and activate the easyCam_cam nothing happens the view goes to the center.
I even downloaded the tools again, but the error persists.
Can you help?
Jake on March 27th, 2010 said...
I got the same problem, I think it might be a C4D version thing. I’m using v11.5, maybe EASYCAM only works in earlier versions but I could be wrong
Jake
Hi Nick!
Nice and very helpful tutorial
But I have a problem:
if I switch to ‘explode segments and connect’ mode in the fracture object, the coloring method with c1-c2 only works for the first character.
Do you have a solution?
Many thanks,
Attila from Hungary
loomer on April 4th, 2010 said...
the letters have to be capitals – C1 or C2 not c1 or c2….
Great tutorial again.
I have a problem with this one though. Every time I put null in between fracture and text object my text disappears. When I move it underneath it appears again but of course then the rotation animation doesn’t work…
Anyone had this problem?
PVC on April 2nd, 2010 said...
SWERC: I have the same problem. Have you sorted it out yet?
Lance Bell on April 4th, 2010 said...
I had the the same problem, try using reguler text not mograph text, then apply extrude nurbs.
Jeremy on April 7th, 2010 said...
I’m having the same problem, when I place a null between Fracture and text then select fracture the text disappears…
.
Jeremy on April 7th, 2010 said...
just discovered something, when I select the text layer then goto the text tool (text object) basic properties and turn “ON” >visible in editor. The text reappears then disappears on its own and I noticed the change I made turn “ON” >visible in editor. Automatically reverts back to “DEFAULT” as apposed to “ON”. the same thing is happening when I turn on >Visible in render… Any ideas?
LOVE this tute Nick, fantastic!
There is something I would like to try. How can I change the text from the start to something else at the end. For example lets say camera posItion one is GRAYSCALE and as this breaks up and turns into GORILLA.
How would I go about doing this?
Cheers
Jake
Does anyone know if this is possible to be done in Blender3D?
The Gorilla on March 27th, 2010 said...
I’m sure it’s possible. Just not as easy as using Mograph modules. You might have to keyframe it all by hand with Blender. Let me know what you come up with.
This is a great tutorial, it would be great if you could check out m take on it
http://www.vimeo.com/10492894
Hey this might be a really stupid question but im fairly new to cinema 4d. I noticed when you render you have a lot more boxes rendering areas at the same time. I noticed I only have 2 going and so it takes me pretty long to render. I have a brand new 8gb imac so i figure i got some decent power in this thing to handle more. Is there a way I can change the amount thats being rendered at a time? Thanks and im loving the tutorials man.
Patrick de Bruin on March 28th, 2010 said...
No, the boxes represent the amount of cores your processor has, so you probably have an iMac with Core 2 Duo. I get 2 boxes on my MacBook Pro as well.
Matt on March 28th, 2010 said...
ohhh ok got it. thanks. yeah i do have a core 2 duo.i knew i shouldve just went for the quadcore lol. all good. thanks.
Magic on March 28th, 2010 said...
you can change the number of render boxes under preferences and then renderer. I have 2 cores on my crappy windows machine and i have 7 boxes (render threads)
Matt on March 28th, 2010 said...
that did it. thank you! this makes rendering much quicker!
Hi Nick,
This was going to be my first Cinema 4D tutorial and I’m having a bit of trouble. Followed along with you upto the texturing with no problem. I did have to find the “null” object since I have version 10.5 and the layout’s a bit different. When I tried to apply my texture to the text object – nothing. This only happens when the text object is a child of the null. If I remove the null, the textures appear. Of course if I remove the null, I have the problem the null is meant to solve – explode segments doesn’t happen when the random effecter’s rotation parameter is manipulated. Let me know if you have any ideas about what might be going wrong. I even tried texturing my text object before the animation and got the same effect? It’s a great look and I appreciate the tutorial.
Rick on May 15th, 2010 said...
Hey, I have come up against the same issue, did you ever come across a solution?
Salut Mr Gorilla
Ici la France. C’est toujours un vrai plaisir de suivre tes exercices. BRAVO.
THANKS, see you.
hey, nick… i have the same weird issue as Brett Perry. my materials are disappearing the moment i put the null object in!? what´s that all about…? Thx in advance man…
greetz sebastian
btw: great tut anyway
Jeremy on April 7th, 2010 said...
SAME PROBLEM.
Shinobidesign on May 15th, 2010 said...
I figured out how to solve the problem
just align the materials a second time to the fracture object and everything is all good… cheers
Rick on May 15th, 2010 said...
Hey Shinobidesign,
Having the same issue, just wondering if you could explain in more detail how you mean “align materials a second time to the fracture object”? Thanks!
Shinobidesign on May 16th, 2010 said...
hey rick… okay, here is the way I did it:
just select the 3 materials (while your text object lays inside the null object), hold down the control key and drag the materials up to the fracture object – and you are done…
seems to be some kind of issue with version 11.0
greetz
Rick on May 16th, 2010 said...
Nice work Shinobidesign figuring this out, much appreciated!
hey nick great stuff!, btw do you know of any good tuts on soft body dynamics in c4d
My render time seems to be taking longer than it should be, I took off the ambient occlusion effect and it still takes over 5 minutes to render out one frame. I’m running a Dell Precision with 4GB of RAM with intel duo core processor so, any idea what else it could be?
Thanks Nick for this awesome tut. I just have one issue here. After throwing the null object i notice that the text disappear on screen which makes my render useless as i cannot see what’s happening. But if I try to remove the null object the text comes back just fine but again I can’t apply the explode segments.
I’m stuck. Any idea? Thanks a million.
Ron on April 4th, 2010 said...
Ignore this. I found the culprit. It’s in the hierarchy. Now i’m rockin…
Jeremy on April 7th, 2010 said...
What did you do to fix this Ron?
Ron on April 7th, 2010 said...
Drop the text object under the null object.
Jeremy on April 8th, 2010 said...
Awesome, That worked. Thanks Ron.
Erik Topolski on May 13th, 2010 said...
not working for me…
Hi Nick,
You’re doing well man, but, recently I couldn’t watch ur tutorials anymore.
I’ve searcheed for a solution on firefox team, I didn’t found any solution. I hope you have a solution for me. I do really appreciate your help.
PS : your account on vimeo doesn’t work as well
Good luck dudde

The Gorilla on April 5th, 2010 said...
Have you tried a different browser? Sounds like firefox is having problems with vimeo.
Hey, Nick Campbell
I’ve been watching your video tutorials it’s a good way of learning Cinema 4d.
Keep Up the good work.
Thank God for people like you.
I’ve seen this cool animation on behance network.
http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Gancia-One-360A-Campaign/450585
Check it out .
Cool effect.
Do think you can pull it.
You might already previously done this. but would you be willing to make your C4D layout available for download? I love it!
When I put the null object, my text desappear…only when I quit the null object I can see again, put the random effector dont’s work. :S
overhere2 on April 20th, 2010 said...
I had the same problem before…make sure the text object goes in the null object (if that makes sense) so its not just sitting under it. I think you can just drag the text object onto the null object and it just be good to go.
Hem legend in Portuguese how to fix this tutorial
K so i’m new to C4D, when i get to the animation part, I follow your instructions…i make a change then ctrl+click the circle so it becomes red and so one. When i play nothing happens. If i click on each frame none of the changes are there…its very fustrating. can anyone help me
hiya nick, im a noob at cinema 4D and having problems.
When I put the null object into the middle all the text disappears and will only return when I change the settings in fracture object back to straight.
can you help? ben
Hello Gorilla, hi community
thanks for this great extra cool tutorial.
).
You must be a god. I’ am a c4d-beginner and after sucessfully practicing your tut.
I want to make a product box with the same material and lighting as in the
spin-text (since several days
My problem is this:
http://werth.psycholutions.com/c4d_question.png
As you see, I can’t get the right material display on the other element.
I would expect some gradient angel settings as in some other 2d- graphic programms
but I can not find something similar in c4d.
How could I manage this?
Should I create a single object for the product box and how could I do this?
.
The spline actions are making me crazy. Often I bite in my hand while doing this
Combining a square and a circle seems to be a very critical mission for me.
Or can I modifiy the gradient of the material directly so that such
a box…
http://werth.psycholutions.com/prototyp.png
… (its skin) would look exactly like a letter of the spin text?
Any help will save my life and if I get it, I will do the rest with your HDRI Kit
.
c u stevie
I tryed making this awile ago, i saw some guy with it as his avatar. this is great though
Hey, How’s it going well i was just wanted to ask you. How do you Save the Project from Cinema4D so that it can imported to After Effets? For some reason i’m having a bit of a problem with that..
Thanx
to everyone having problems with nullObject and materials, need to upgrade to 11.5 version.
ive just fixed it;)
Hey Nick,
I have a question regarding the texturing for this tutorial. When I tried the “C1″ and “C2″mapping, I was not able to do both sides of the capped text. I think it has something to do with the null. not sure though. If you could write me back, I’d be psyched.
Zach
Not sure if you know about the “DropToFloor” plugin but I find myself using it constantly to reset objects positions to the floor, especially ones copied and pasted from other scenes positions. Its great, just select your object and go to plugins > drop to floor > BOOM, your object is on the floor at 0.
http://www.kuroyumes-developmentzone.com/products_cinema_4d.html
Thats the free plugin link. Another great tutorial, thanks Nick.
Hey Nick, your tutorials got me interested in 3D again. (I’ve been working mainly in After Effects for a long time).
Also a long time ago I remember of a maya shader that only received shadows (shadow matte or something like that, I can’t remember), I mean if I want to make a render with an infinite floor (plane) and then compose that in After Effects I’d like to have the shadow rendered with alpha only but without the plane affecting the alpha channel itself, that’s no borders, no color, no alpha from the plane itself, just the shadow.
Any ideas about how to achieve this in C4D.
many thanks
Nausk!
Hey Nick! I did something like that a while ago.
I’m not happy with that right know (because I didn’t pay attention the AE part. But what the heck, I want to share with you.

great tuto man… im sure it will help a lot of noobs like me
i have a question… when i put the c1 feature on the tag of the first material it enters only on the first letter of my sentence (i got another words, im tryin not with spin)
how can i solve that… already thank you
Nick, did you get around to asking the Maxon guys about the “magic” of null objects?

Yeah. They basically said. They do that sometimes. hehe.

Try making the object edible, by selecting the text layer and hitting “C” on your keyboard. Seems to bypass the whole null object junk once editable.
Hey Nick, absolutely loving your tutorials!
I’m new to it all but learning a lot with these videos..
One question, one of the faces of a letter doesn’t move at all with the others. Have you ever had this problem or heard of it and is there a solution?
Regards
Gaz
