Houdini + Cinema 4D Brushstrokes Teaser 1
(Feel free to click the heart button to share some 3D love/excitement with our new guest artist).Friends,Just wanted to let you know that my guest artist https://www.instagram.com/welsing3d/is refining his magical houdini recipeto cook something very special for us. Let´s give the chef some time but chances are high t...
Liquigen + Cinema 4D Brushstrokes Starting Files
Friends,Here are some simulation filesfor the latest brushstrokes with LiquiGen and Cinema 4D tutorial.Inside the Cinema 4D file, try to vary the angle of how these "collider brush-objects" brush through your liquid to just get different interesting results. Maybe you also want to change the shape of the brush...
Creamy Brushstrokes with LiquiGen and Cinema 4D Part 02
Common Friends,Let´s just have some fun with with these liquid brushstroke simulations:-).PS: Please don´t get discouraged, if your first simulations don´t look great. As you can see, with a liltte bit of patience you can get really nice results.
Creamy Brushstrokes with LiquiGen and Cinema 4D Part 01
Friends,let´s finally start into this new tutorial mini series for creamy viscous brushstrokes with LiquiGen and Cinema 4D!In this first part we set up our collisions objects ( brushes) in Cinema 4D, so we have a perfect foundation for a powerful LiquiGen simulation in part 02.Part 02 will be there this weekend, proba...
Last Teaser for LiquiGen + Cinema 4D Creamy Brushes
Friends,I wanted to play with my setup a bit first, but I think now I´m ready to record the lesson for you guys! So, maybe... I can already share it today.

Guest Artist this Month sharing Viscous Houdini Techniques for Beginners?
Friends!(The number in brackets behind the answer options equals your level of excitement and enthusiasm for this idea: 10 = full excitement,0 = complete indifference/boredom)I know, I know! Sometimes I get a bit too excited and enthusiastic about cool 3D stuff. Amazing 3D... that is just my weak point!So forgive me, b...
It definitely feels Creamy so far! (Updated)
Friends,this is a slightly tricky one, but I hope that I´m on a good direction! You can see that I get quite a nice definition from my "brush" onto these viscous lotion drops already.More tests have to be made today, just to make sure that I make the best out of this. But I have an optimistic feeling that I wi...
These first Results make me excited for the next Lessons
Friends,Yesterday I started into the week with my current goal : Make viscous simulations more accessible and fun for everyone!Here are some images from yesterday´s results and I think... they already show some powerful options that I will further explore throughout the week to then share the techniques here with you ...
Next Week: Creamy Brushstrokes
Hi Friends,I want to figure out this supercool viscous creamy brushstroke techniquenext week and share it with you. Wish me luck that I will be successful, because this will definitely be another powerful technique in our growing design toolkit.(Pressing the heart button means you are interested in this lesson;-).
Advanced Dripping Simulations with LiquiGen + Teaser for the next Tutorial
Friends,Last tutorial for February! I also talk quickly about the inspiration for probably my next tutorial next week so be sure to watch the first 2 minutes of the video, if you are curious;-).Now I will recover a bit over the weekend to have my full power back for the new training starting next week.PS: I attached my...
Whats up in March, Markus?
Hi Friends,I catched a lil´cold and wasnt very active the last couple of days but today, I feel a bit better, so I hope to share the "advanced dripping" lesson with you today or at least tomorrow. So, dont worry: New content is on its way.Hey, you know what? I think in March I wanna test some particles/pyro te...
Teaser Advanced Dripping Simulations
Let me share some advanced LiquiGen + Cinema 4D dripping simulation techniques soon with you.(the image looks very compressed for some reason...)
Realtime Fluid Simulations
Hi Patrons,this is a very short promo version for my YouTube channel (+ a free cosmetic product kit asset)for the in-depth LiquiGen and other fluid simulation training here on my patreon.See you soon in the next patreon-exclusive training!
SPLASHES Part03
Alright Friends,let´s apply some super-nice highspeed / slow-motion effectto our splashes in compositing. Plus, I show you a simple effects recipe to make your renderings extra-beautiful.That´s the final part of this little splashes mini-series. Let´s see what we will do next!
SPLASHES Part02
Friends,In the second part of this SPLASHES mini-series I share everything you need to know about remeshing and smoothingyour LiquiGen alembic file in Cinema 4D to just get a butterly-smooth amazing fluidbody!Also, I talk about my simple but powerful light-setupand the secret sauce to a rainbow dispersion effectin your...
SPLASHES Part01
Friends,this technique is soooo much fun! Just try the LiquiGen free 14days trial to see if this is a tool that you want to add to your toolkit:-).Because this is so powerful,I´ll definitely offer these kind of simulations to my next clients and you should think about that, too.Thanks for your support and see you soon...
SPLASHES Teaser 02
Sorry Friends,this rainbow lotion looks just too good, I had to share an image with you! On my instagramyou can see an animation, if you are curious.Training will be there this week!
SPLASHES Teaser
Something else I´m working on for you right now...quite a pretty powerful technique! See you soon.
Do you want faster Fluid Simulations?
Friends,I think I have a powerful LiquiGen technique for you next week. I´m still learning this new tool for realtime fluid simulations, but it looks like I was able to find some stable and fast viscous fluid settings to create shots like this pretty fast.Remember, you can get a free 14days LiquiGen trial from JangaFX...
