Let´s build this Rifle Sight tomorrow

Hi Patrons,"Enthusiast Training" continues tomorrow. We will work with powerful boolean operations and build this rifle sight from scratch. Fusion360 is a great tool to expand your Cinema 4D modeling workflow with amazing CAD tools. I will show you how you can benefit from it.See you tomorrow. Best, Markus

Enthusiast Training continues soon with new Modeling Tricks!

Hi Patrons,I think it is time to dive deeper into Fusion360´s hardsurface modeling tools and strengthen our modeling skills with a shape that is just slightly more complex. You will see, this stuff is super easy and fun to do. As I already said: Fusion360 is perfect to expand your Cinema 4D skillset and use both in co...

The new "Enthusiast" Training starts right now;-)

Hi Patrons,it is time for the new "Expand your Skillset to the next Level" training;-). We start really simple with some new foundations in another software package called Fusion 360.

Something nice and fresh for your weekend!

Hi Enthusiasts,this is the first part of my... lets call it "expand your skillset to the next level" training;-). We start really simple with some new foundations in another software package. This will extend your C4D skills in an awesome way with new modeling capabilities, especially for hardsurface stuff. You...

You asked for the SceneFile, here it comes

Hi Patrons,this is the scenefile for the water bowls. I have to say: Maybe I accidently moved the bowls a bit and now... the water doesn´t flow perfectly like in the video example. Nevertheless... I hope it will still be useful for some of you.Best, Markus

I´m working on some Next Level Training;-)

Hi Patrons,right now I am working on a more in-depth training focusing on... shall I say it? Alright, the new approach is: It´s one connected project over multiple lessons. So there will be lessons that build on top of the previous ones until we have something beautiful everyone can be proud of. Of course these single...

A little thank you for being with me;-)

Don´t forget to check out part1, for another simple but very useful technique.From tomorrow on, I will start to work on a new topic. Hope you are as excited as I am:-).There will be s...

Something easy to digest for the weekend;-)

This training I kept really simple but maybe it´s still interesting for you. Of course, if I explained something poorly, ask me.Alright, let´s take a pause for the weekend, because next week... I´m working on some next level training.Enjoy the weekend!

Fluid Effects for Beginners Training soon

TENET Time Inversion Effect

Have fun with this one! Best, Markus

This training will be intense!

Softbody Cages for the TENET tutorial

Hi Enthusiasts,These cages can be quite useful, if you want to start instantly without building your own cages. Of course, I can´t provide you with the highpoly models I bought for a small amount of money. But: They are not that expensive at poliigon.com and I just think, these models are awesome. No advertisement her...

Are you ready for some TENET inspired training?

Hi Patrons,It is time to combine Softbodies with inverted time, don´t you think? Soon on YouTube. I will provide you with more lowpoly cages for instant fun.Best, Markus

Textures I made for SOFT WARFARE

Hi Tutorial Enthusiasts,here are even more handpainted textures, fell free to use them as decals on your softbody creatures;-). Just tell me, if you want more of my textures.

Do you want my handmade textures/decals?

Hi Patrons,I am not sure, if this is interesting for you, so you just have to tell me;-). Sometimes I need to make my own little decals/drawings/textures. Should I share that stuff?Here is a small selection I did last week.

Let´s build an awesome TENET promo in Softbody Training part3

In the upcoming Tutorial Enthusiast Softbody Training Part3 we will combine softbody dynamics with inverted time to achieve something really beautiful. Sounds crazy just like the movie plot;-) But I will keep it simple and easy to understand.Edit: The tutorial will be available for everyone, so you can get a taste of t...

Lets expand our skillset soon...

Hi Patrons,I work my way through some additional software (it´s free) right now, because I have the feeling that it´s really useful for all 3D-Artists and will expand our skillset. Let´s see were this is going. Of course we will keep our focus on Cinema 4D but we will also think a bit outside the box in the next day...

Softbody Training Part3 will be there soon

I will also provide you with a couple more lowpoly cages. I think, they can be quite useful to save time. Also, I am working on another secret course I am really excited about;-)Best,Markus

I have something special for you this week

Hi Patrons,thank you so much for joining me on this little adventure! This bonfire is getting bigger and bigger, shiny and powerful. We grow together as artists and learn fascinating stuff, what can be better? I never felt so motivated to learn, so I can share it with you guys.It´s an upward spiral with no end in sigh...

Do you need some Lowpoly Cages for Soft Body Simulations?

There you go! I hand-modeled different armchairs and this is the first package of assets.These 2 armchairs are lowpoly cages for high poly assets and come with different poly amounts. Simple rules apply to soft bodies: The less polys the cage, the faster the sim. The more polys the cage, the more precise the simulation...

It is time for Part 2 of Tutorial Enthusiast Training;-)

Hi Patrons,are you ready for the weekend? I want to prepare you, if you feel like learning new stuff is the right thing for you;-) Take this one and be sure to check the scene file with the low poly cages in the other post. I´m sure they will prove helpful and you don´t need to spend hours of meditation-modeling like...

I made a ridiculous soft body short film: SOFT WARFARE

Hi Patrons,I just got carried away while playing with soft body dynamics today. And suddenly I made my own little short film in a day:-).I will talk about the techniques I used in the upcoming "Tutorial Enthusiast" Soft Body Training Part2.
