Robert’s Cinema 4D Reel Intro Animation Breakdown 42 Comments

Reel intro breakdown Part 1

Reel intro breakdown Part 2

Cinema 4D pal, Robert Leger put up a great set of videos where he breaks down his reel intro. I thought it was in interesting look behind the scenes of a great C4D spot from Robert. He also uses the Light Kit Pro Daylight Rig to great effect to give the into a sun kissed look.

  3. Hunter T

    Very cool, although this has been out for awhile

  4. Florian

    Sweet!
    Oh, and you wrote “into” instead of “intro” in de url to the intro ;)

        lol, nothing been fixed :P
        just letting you know.
        also at the “What’s New In Cinema 4D 13″ the very last line has also a mistake.

    Great breakdown. Real nice use of MoGraph and hair in combination. Here’s a tip though: NEVER EVER render channels, that you won’t need. In a optimized pipeline, where it comes to a huge amount of data (rendering in 8k, for example) your director will bully you for outputting a 20x larger footage.

    Oh, and thanks for mentioning RockGen. ;)

    For those who use R12: RockGen actually works in R12 and (maybe) in R13.
    There just has to be something fixed in the source. If anybody want this (unstable) version to use, please let me know.

    I am still working on an advanced version, but due to a lot of work since the last years, it will still take some months. (But it’s worth it) ;)

    This was pretty good and all. But me, among others would like to seem some actual tutorials, produced by you. :D

    does anyone know any easier (faster) way to fill the “R” with rocks instead of doing it by hand? thanks in advance.

        Oh, I got the impression that that section was done by hand but I’ll re-watch! Thanks for rock gen by the way

    What size did you use in particular for the dust, it looks like you have it set at 0. I followed along and copied all your settings for the dust and it comes up blank! Thanks for the tut, Robert. Great work.
