Hi everyone and welcome to my channel. I am Julian Field - AKA Expresso Mechanic - a UK based 3D Artist/Animator. I have been working with Cinema 4D, since R5 SE. I specialise in procedural animation, via Xpresso and Python. Here, you will find tutorials for the aforementioned technologies, along with animations, created with them. Hopefully, you will find them both fun and of value. My aim is simply, to help as many people as possible, get the best out of Cinema 4D and to demystify Xpresso and Python. They really are a lot of fun, when you get your head round them!
New videos are scheduled for Wednesday mornings, at 10.00am (GMT).

Cinema 4D Python Bytes: Cloning Cloners - Do Python Effectors Still Work?
In this Cinema 4D Python tutorial, we clone a Cloner, which uses a Python Effector. I was recently asked, if an Effector that uses a counter, would still work if the Cloner that addresses it, were to be cloned. This tutorial answers that question.
My thanks go to the following people, all of whom have been kind enough to buy me a coffee:
Matt, Cedric, Uriah, Willy, Vadim, Tim, Simone, Alain, David and Daniil.
Your generosity is always, greatly appreciated!

Cinema 4D Xpresso Tutorial 72: Building a Binary Full Adder
Переглядів 1594 місяці тому
In this Cinema 4D Xpresso Tutorial, we are building and rigging a Binary Full Adder, found in computers. To get the thing to work correctly, we will be employing logic gates and will be using the AND, OR and XOR functions within Boole nodes. As we will see, this is very simple but powerful logic that enables computers to add numbers together correctly, without ever making any mistakes. My thank...

Cinema 4D Xpresso Tutorial 69: Rigging a Floating Body
Переглядів 4265 місяців тому
In this Cinema 4D Xpresso tutorial, we are building a rig to control the movement of the limbs of a character, who is floating. To achieve the desired result, we need random motion which is able to be looped. This is not possible using noise or the Vibrate Tag, so we have to create a workaround, using a combination of Xpresso and a little Python. We will also use a slight variation of the rig t...
