A Simple Plan For Animation 3d Tutorial

No, these are not hobbyist tools exactly, but they are accessible to anyone and powerful enough to be used in professional situations. This is a beginners tutorial Blender 3D 2.73 - In this tutorial, we will create a 3D animated logo intro using blender animation tools. The position of those layers will now be zeroed out. Now with the light in the scene you can see I actually have true 3D Geometry. Now if you collapse Layer 1 and open up its Options, we have Transform options and if we collapse the Transform options we have Material Options but we don't have any Geometry Options. Now we have one more member of aiBone which is offsetMatrix. So, there are a lot more settings you could go through within the Material Options of a CINEMA 4D layer but you understand the basics of creating 3D geometry in CINEMA 4D. Illustrator layers can be converted to Shape layers and Shape layers can have true depth and any Text layers can also have true 3D created out of there as well. In order to more clearly see this, select Layer 1 and press R to open the Rotation Orientation settings and scrub on the Y Rotation parameter and here you can see the layer is bent in a curve.  

With Layer 2 selected hold down Shift and click on Layer 1 so both layers are selected and press AA very quickly to open the Geometry Options and the Material settings and I'll scroll up in my Timeline so I can get to my Geometry Options. Go ahead and open the Geometry Options and since this was an Illustrator layer I have an option for Curvature. Press P to open up the Light settings and scrub on the Z axis to move the light either further away or closer to the geometry. Here under the CINEMA 4D Renderer Options mine was set just to the right of Typical, yours could be set down at Draft, I typically work at Draft settings as I'm creating animation and then just before I go to render out my Composition I change this up to just above the middle section here until I see the Anti-Aliasing switch to Best and I click OK.

If you click on the drop-down you could choose CINEMA 4D. Go ahead and do that and then click OK to set CINEMA 4D as the Renderer. Click on the “Play Animation” button (8) to preview your animation. After clicking the “Start Video Recording” Button (12) you will have the option to set the recording settings. For the light, I'll just move the Light settings out of the way here, click on the Light Type drop-down and let's choose a Point light. After setting the list of keypoints, Zephyr will automatically interpolate the positions and will create a nice and smooth animation going from the first point to the last one. As you can see, for each you point there will be listed its name (4) and time (5). You can delete each point (or manually edit those properties) by right-clicking on the keypoint you want to edit. In order to create a movie with 3DF Zephyr Pro, you need to set up a series of keypoints: a keypoint is a location in 3D space, associated to an order and a specific time in your animation. Although most of their content is free, some tutorials may need to be purchased.

Blender may seem like a complicated application to understand once you grasp the fundamentals you will be creating 3-D animation work to enhance your business video marketing promotional material. It will basically look like we just mashed all of our 3D layers together. A simple interpolation equation used for Translation and Scale looks like this.. Sounds and looks complicated, but it’s fairly simply once you do it a couple times. Avoid any objects or props in the shot and keep the subject completely visible at all times (not walking behind a car or tree, for example). Z a few times until you get back to the original flat layer. Move the newly created shape layer up underneath Layer 1 so they're both together. Click on that Percentage parameter and drag it to the right and let go and you notice it's created a curve to the layer. NOTE: You’ll notice some of the layers with blurs will slightly disappear/become less noticeable.
