Cinema 4D Tutorial: Build a Point Attract Modifier in Cinema 4D Particle Nodes!
Discover how to create a custom Point Attract Modifier from scratch using Cinema 4D’s Particle Node Modifier. Perfect for crafting dynamic particle simulations!
In this Cinema 4D tutorial, learn how to build a Point Attract Modifier entirely from scratch using the Particle Node Modifier. Starting with a basic setup, I’ll guide you step-by-step through:
• Configuring Particle Node Modifiers for custom effects.
• Using null objects to control particle attraction visually.
• Applying vector math and blending techniques to enhance particle motion.
• Adding turbulence for more organic, visually dynamic results.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully functional Point Attract Modifier that you can adapt for your own motion graphics projects. These foundational techniques will also help you tackle more advanced simulations in the future.

Tutorial 3 - Broadcast Trailer: Now, Next, Later. Part 2: AE
Переглядів 87610 років тому
In part two I show you how to finish the broadcast trailer for a fictional TV schedule in After Effects. We'll be taking the passes we rendered from Cinema 4D in part one and compositing them in After Effects. We'll add the show titles and animate them and we'll add colour correction and depth of field to complete the spot. In some cases I've shortened sequences so that you won't have to watch ...
Tutorial 3 - Broadcast Trailer: Now, Next, Later. Part 1: C4D
Переглядів 1,4 тис.10 років тому
In part one I show you how to create a broadcast trailer for a fictional TV schedule using Cinema 4D. We'll be using various modelling techniques, the MoGraph module and looking at how the clones are affected by forces and dynamics. We'll use CS Tools MoCam to create our camera move and light our scene with the GSG Light Kit Pro. In some cases I've shortened sequences so that you won't have to ...

Great tutorial! Thanks for posting. Question: How would I go about making the particles emissive? i.e. have the same control over particle look as I do using shaders?
Thank you! Making the particles emissive would be done in the Redshift material. Simply apply the material to the particle group. We could get into using custom properties in conjunction with materials in another tutorial perhaps.

Amazing stuff
Thanks so much! Appreciate you!🙂
Hey I've followed us r19 essential training at Lynda.com. and I've send u an email with some questions and concerns and I didn't get a reply
We got there in the end... had to dig through my old emails to check our conversation back in 2020! Hope you're doing well!
Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks! Glad it could be helpful!
