This is my first tutorial for CGTuts+ where I show some tips in Cinema 4D and After Effects.All starts with Adobe Illustrator where I create logo splines. Import them in Cinema 4D. Use Extrude NURBS to make splines 3D. Then break the 3D logo in regular grid mesh to have extra geometry for use this geometry with Bone tool in C4D. Set up Bone structure & connect it to logo. I start to animate the logo and it will behave like is 3D Jelly. Export After Effects ( separate the logo from the background with alpha & lumma matte )composition and bring all that in AE. Use the 32bpc to recreate the color glow.Use curves to give some contrast and other color corrections. Simulate motion blur using RSMB plugin for AE

Just yesterday, I know the CGTuts+ Tutorial website from my friends：RayCrown.
角度大哥也常来这里呀。
nice tutorial,,,
i am working on after effects since last 6 months…and i seen many guys prefer cinema 4d to integrate 3d elements in ae….
i used max,maya yet…..looks like i need upgrade to cinema 4 d….is it more handy?
Cinema is best for straight motion graphics I love that. I think that the other 3D packs gives me stuff that I don’t need because more complicate more mistakes I make
Cinema is my type of software!
Hi Alexander…I’m new in your web site feeds…EXCELENT TUTORIALS, COMENTS AND CONTENT!..CONGRATULATIONS!!!..but…DO you recomend Cinema 4d for specific text animation? or more than this?

Hey Alex, i just started with cinema 4d and after effects. i respect 2 persons in this industry and thats you and andrew kramer for the work you’ve been doing. with that said congratulations on the wonderful site and the amazing tutorials. looking forward to learning more from you
PS: Have you seen The Last Airbender? can you do a tutorial that would show how to simulate a 3d fire? i can make a 2d fire in after effects using trapcode form but i cant shape and model it the way i want and make it move in 3d space without having to animate the camera as well. can u show that in cinema 4d as well?
Hey man thanks, hope soon to cover something like this.
I followed the tutorial exactly, as far as I could tell, but I cannot get the logo to flex back and forth. It’s rigid. any thoughts on what I did wrong?
Thanks
