Siggraph 2018 Rewind - Tim Clapham: Fields and the Evolution of Mograph

C4D Legend Tim Clapham demonstrates creative uses for Fields in Cinema 4D R20 in this live presentation from Siggraph 2018. New in R20, Fields allows users to stack and blend falloffs in creative ways to control MoGraph, Deformations, Vertex Maps and more. Tim specifically shows how Fields simplifies two projects created in earlier versions of Cinema 4D - a Nike ad created with Buck and projections for the Sydney Opera House created with Spinifex. Tim also explains the concept and execution of Reaction Diffusion with fields, and shows how it can be used to create organic growth effects.

[@vfx_jon]

Amazing stuff. and a fellow brit

[@christophlohr9211]

Great tutorial! just 1 question. When I put the matrix object in the volume builder all the matrixes are used for the voxels although most of them didn't appear yet. Can someone help me with that please? :)

[@CineversityC4D]

Within the Volume Builder object list, select the Matrix and enable "Use Particle Size"

[@_o__o_]

awesome! when are the next lectures beeing uploaded?

[@CineversityC4D]

We're updating in batches over the next few weeks. Generally on Tuesday and Thursday.

[@_o__o_]

cool!

[@sunnyfzs16]

at 38:47 how is the spherical field is drawing over the vertex map ?

[@MatthieuFremeaux]

the spherical field object follows the helix path thanks to the blueish tag next to it, and this spherical field object has been dropped into the "fields" of the vertex map

[@_o__o_]

bob's your uncle!

[@monocore]

hes so coked up

[@stanleywtang]

So this is just like Maya's MASH

[@MechNominal]

No not really, regular mograph is like MASH. This is more like Houdini stuff.

[@stanleywtang]

May I ask how so? from what I've see it's pretty much the same

[@OutOfWards]

Can he stop picking his nose?
