Natural & Unnatural lighting
In this tutorial I show you my understandings of lighting from the real world and thinks I study in school about how different lights affect objects different. The most interesting is combination of natural and unnatural light witch you may see a lot in the real world. I use Cinema 4D and After effects for this scene also Trapcode particular 2 and Optical flares.
Watch the preview:









cool tutorial and awesome technics !
you use optical flares too?awesome….it the best plug-in for this awesome video….nice tutorial…..do you do modelling in cinema 4d as well?if so can you make a basic tutorial on that?
I think I don’t have the perfect modeling skills, but if I come up with something I’ll post
not the best tut sadly
NOW GET BACK and Make more tutS!
NICE ONE! Really i like it a lot. But i always miss the AE Files in the Downloads. I would be very thankfull if you also can add the AE Files. I like to know how you did used the optical flare and Paticular. Please !!!!
That would be so nice.
Ok in the future I’ll post them for downloading but without the footage they means noting … I guess
Yeah GREAT i really appreciate this. And of course without the footage. Because i only need to know the setup
of the composition and the settings for the effects like (Trapcode and Optical Flare etc.)
Maybe it would be possible to send me the the AE File for the latest Tutorial via email. Only if this is not asking too much.
Cheers
Ae file is included in the project files now
YOU ARE GREAT. Alexander i’m more than thankfull. And i’m looking foreward to The Cinematic.
Hi Alexander . it seams a very good tutorial . i always look for your tuts. it is different than everybody . it’s very professional and the little details have been taken care of .
keep up man
I’ll watch the tutorial now .
could you do a tutorial on the titles from the show “Fringe” where the titles do like a reverse shatter effect that reveals the logo? if so that would be awesome
btw not sure if I’m aloud to post this here :p
That’s actually relatively easy. Just blow your logo up using particular/shatter/whatever and then time remap it so it rebuilds itself. Super simple and the effect is pretty cool.
You can check this guy tut http://vimeo.com/9989743

Alexander…you’re the best.
Love your stuff. Keep it up, buddy!

Hey Alexander I got a new idea for your next tutorial I think this “prince of persia” title would be great to incorporate with cinema 4d and after effects take a look… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8EA7EbFX4k
Where is the HDR link? You say it’s free and that you’ll post a link to it.
Is online sorry below the project file is the link
Great tutorial as usual… You are awesome man!
Well, Alexander… I am starting my career in motion graphics and 3D modeling, animation…
I going to buy a new computer for me… I am looking for a best solution which can fulfill all my needs…
You must have a great machine to render all these tutorials and other heavy graphics stuff.
Can you please post complete configuration of your PC? That will really help me choose my new computer.
Thanks in advance
My pc is not the best choice for rendering it was something like GEForce 9600 1GB, 8GB ram, Intel Quad 2,3

hey man, I’ll do next time I promise

Hi!
Amazing tutorial, thx.
But in one of the steps I have not what you show.
When I put color lights and turned on lights I have color shadows
There is picture of this http://www.themagictechnologies.com/logo-in-fire-error.jpg
What mistakes I did?
I really love your site., I hope I should’ve known your site before… =) keep up the good work sir.. you make me inspired.. ^^,
First, this is so awesome, great work!
Secondly, problem, when I make my sphere for lighting, about 12 minutes into the movie, you size it up to 3000m, for me everything goes black, the sphere just becomes the whole scene, why not for you?
Thanks for response if possible
thank you!
You are AMAZING!
Thanks again!
Thanks ! great tuts !
