Elden Ring Great Runes soon!
Friends,I´m in the middle of figuring out the best way tocreate the most detailed / best looking Elden Ring Great Runes with C4D´s native tools like pyro and particles.Harder then expected mostly due to pyro being very unyielding yesterday.My mashine just refused working multiple times, because somehow C4D 2024.4.1 seems to have a hard time with detailed smoke sims? Or was pyro always weak and needs an update? Maybe it was a user error and I wasn´t that clever with my first attempt. Anyway! Y...
Photos of my Workspace / Talk about Daily Routines / Elden Ring inspired Tutorial?
Ok Friends,I´m a huge FromSoftwarefan and deeply respect their creative art in form of videogames. Just some days ago the long awaited DLC Shadow of the Erdtreefor their Masterpiece Elden Ringwas released. That´s why I wanted to work on an Elden Ring inspired tutorial today.Plus: I thought it could be interesting to show/share my workspaceand talk about my daily routines as a freelancer, and just share some quirky/useful habits/routines/insights.Now its up to you to decide: What do you want?
Dissolve Objects into Particle Dust
Friends,Another day, another breakdown of an asset browser example file in my C4D particles training camp:-).

Wanna Dissolve Objects like a Pro?
Friends,I´m continuing my C4D asset browser example filesstudiesand broke down another file into an easy to follow step-by-step lessonfor you. So let´s strengthen our understanding and knowledge about the C4D native particles engine further and re-create a beautiful dissolve effect.(You can also study the C4D particles example files in the C4D asset browser by your own, but I thought its more fun and easier for you, if I do some cool breakdowns.)
