This is a example how powerfull can be your animation in 2-3 simple steps using Cinema 4D MoGraph and MoDynamics settings. With a little help from Destruction Plugin By Adam Swaab and GrayscaleGorilla. I showing the power of the volumetric lights and how great motiongraphic effect gives to your animation. More info bout the music you can check here.

What font do u use for the SLOW text?
Super si, svaka ti čast!
CG Futura is the font
Hvala!
Thanks!
Hey Alexander at the end, do you know what the sound effect is called? When the pieces regroup there’s a sound effect like whoosh sound, do you know what the name is? Reply back Please. Thanks.
Btw this is Awesome. (:
This was a swoosh right but i cant remember where i found it was a long time ago, sorry
Hi Alexander,
Same as Casko, I was waiting for this turorial! Unfortunately, my ISP decided to block VIMEO. Would it be possible to make the video downloadable? Or make it accessible somewhere else? I was so looking forward to learn more MoDynamics!
Website bookmarked, you’ve done a really great job!

You can download it from vimeo when you are logged in.
NICE NICE NICE.
IS THERE A WAY THAT THE PARTS LIKE SMASH EACH OTHER AND BOUNCE BETWEEN THEM??
BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE SOME THAT MOUNT EACH OTHERS AND DONT SEEM LIKE SOLID PEACES.
YOU CAN SEE THIS “ERROR” MORE IN THE LETER O OF YOUR EXAMPLE.-
THANKS
You can check the rigit body tag and play with collision settings like bounce to get more crazy effect.
I thing that you say Error for the ruff edges in “O”, you can fix this like animating the pong angle.
Keep it up,man!
Looking forward to ur next tut!
You are stunning!!!
lovely tut!!!
thankyou very so much!!!
Thank you
Very nice.
Keep up the great work
Здравейте !
Бих искал да отбележа,че сайта е прекрасен както и уроците,но може ли да помоля човека,който прави уроците да направи един,урок който да бъде показано как може да се постигне този абстрактен фон в C4D.

I’m not that good in abstract shapes butt maybe I try some day
има го този туториал в deviantart.com
точно за този шейп.

Thanks and post the link please
Here is the link about deviantart tutorial
ОК!
Thx for all tutorials
Hi man, thx for another amazing tut… i like the way u make things easier for learning C4D & AE.. really great works!!
another question… what about C4D and Realflow? no tuts on them?
http://vimeo.com/9189909
I see you are doing very well with realflow, congrats.
you absolutely Rock. WOw! this is amazing
Wow, amazing, What next tutorial Alexander?
I don’t know
if I have something cool to show I’ll post it.
I like a lot this tut… congratulation…
could you post something about modeling??
I am afraid that is not my best skills.
Hi alexander, for the first, congratulations for your tutorials, we lern so much! well, i have a problem i use cinema 11 and i don’t have the tag ” solid body” on mograph so is possible to remplace it with other tag for make the tutorial?
Thanks!
You can try with dynamic like insert a solver object and put the parts from the logo inside without making them a one peace and add a gravity and the effect will be different
and everything will calculate veeeery slow, haha “slow”
Upgrade to 11.5 Edgardo you’ll not regret.
GRAZIE MOLTO! MUCHAS GRACIAS! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALEXANDER!
Great tutorial !!!
i like it thanks you it is amazing
Whats Next?? I love your work…. Regards
I don’t know really but if I make something nice I’ll post it. I have some ideas but let have little surprise
Thanks for the tutorial!
… теперь можно делать рендер. (прошло 20 минут) Загружаем композицию в АЕ. Ах да! Я забыл что в C4D вам нужно сделать ещё вот это, вот это и вот это …
Alexander,
I’m a newbie to 3d and I’ve seen a few of your tuts and I must say that I like your workflow. It’s very good and makes sense.
thanks alexander , but i cant see tutorial!
can you import url link?
i just see preview!
Here is the link to vimeo: http://vimeo.com/9583605
thank you man.
Sorry, but, where do i have to install the destruction plugin?
By the way, your tutorials are just awesome Alexander, and thenk you so much for sharing this with everyone, allowing us to understand better these programs.
Kind regards.
I’m on windows so my path is: C:\Program Files\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R11.5\plugins
Alexander, i was following your tut, but suddenly i realised that i can’t find mograph body tag, it only shows mograph cache and mograph selection, and therefore i cannot complete this tutorial.
Does it comes with cinema 4D modules by default , or i have to buy it?
Thank you.
You need Cinema R11.5 with mograph 2
this tutorial is super special awesome!
i like this effect so much, the sound, the light… PERFECT!
greetings from berlin
Thank you very much !
Very nice work !
Hi Sasho,
I am one of your fan. I am living in Bulgaria and watching your tutorials. Great Job. I am planing to get lessons can you suggest me course or certification program in Sofia?
Thanks Again
The best ting is to go to Art school and you’ll learn a lot from the internet for most of the motion programs.
Hey Alexander,
Is there a way to offset the beginning of the explosing to occur a couple of second in?
Thanks.
Just animate the enable switch on the dynamic tag
Great tut Alex. Very cool!! Do you mind if i ask where i can get the same sound effects that you use in this tut? Thanks
You can check it here
First of all thanks for all the tutorials, i’m learning Cinema4D, they’ve been very helpfull, i’ve been testing the Destruction plugin for some time and this is a great way to use it (with the volumetric lights and all), keep up the good work.
Excellent tutorial Alexander!!
there is a new “breaker” plug-in for C4D by Nitroman over at Motionworks that y’all might wanna look into that crashes less often and also works on ALL objects in C4D, whether they have been made editable or not, such as Mograph Text, splines, primitives etc., and it also adds a Mograph tag automatically, and you can also assign both inside and outside textures from scratch. check it out at http://www.motionworks.com.au/2010/02/xbreaker-for-cinema-4d/
again, thanks for a superb tutorial and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks man I know this plugin is very handy.
Coolness bro!! and so are your tutorials! give thanks for the sharing of the knowledge Rasta!!
ONE LOVE!
What buttons to press, how on a time interval 4:39 Alexander does?
“c” on the keyboard
thx Alex
!
What buttons to press, how on a time interval 25:55??
Nothing just the interface buttons
Hi,
I don’t have this option connect+delete
^ ^ version of the my C4D is 11.027 ^ ^
You’ll need 11.5 for this option, now you can use connect and then manual delete the other objects
great tutorial!
Hello!
Nice tutorial
What music used it?
Bulgarian folcklor sounds
Hi Alex,
How did you set the keyframe in this tuts to make it back into the 1st status?
For example, normal text—>explode–>back to normal text.
Thank you!
Time remap in After Effects
Oh why dont I remember that ! Thanks much!
This is exactly what I need save one element. I would like to accelerate the breakup a little and have the pieces go toward the camera as well (Z axis). Any suggestions?
Thank you very much and keep the excellent work up.
Love watching these tutorials!
~MAH~
insert a wind in the forces tab and make the wind -z
Thank you. Once I finish my experiment, I will show you a sample of how this helps me.
Yo man, cheers for putting up all these tutorials.
I myself have only just started experimenting with Cinema 4D but this has made it a lot easier for me to know how capable this program. Thanks again, hope you continue to bust out some more amazing techniques.
Time remap in After Effects
great tutorial!
Hey~ Alexander
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
But one thing…
The C4D software version of this tutorial is 11.5, right?
There is no ‘mopraph/ rigid body tag’ in 11. ;-(
Whatever… great tutorial.
Yes is in 11.5
Hi Alex
You are now officially taking over had a buddy call me 4am to tell me about your site, crazy enough I checked it out!!!!
And you got some mad sound design in your tuts!!!!
Much appreciated for the tuts in my opinion C4D tuts was neglected a bit compaird to 3d max but thanks to you a whole new world opened up for me!!
Thanks a billion
M from South Africa!!!
Your welcome!
hey~ Alexander
Road agian.
I’ve tried this tutorial in 11.5.
And this tutorial still great.
I have one question about ‘Rigid Body Tag’.
You made a explosion animation in this tutorial.
But I want to make reverse the explosion.
I mean make it in C4D. not ‘Time Remapping’ in After Effects.
I don’t have much experience in English.(I’m Korean)
So I respectfully apologize for my rough language.
For that effect better to use a effectors not a rigid body tag, that way you will have a control when and witch way logo goes
OK~ I will find the way with a effectors.
I appreciate your advice ;-D
Thank so much ~^^
Alexander Alexandrov good day, I am of Brazil Vinicius looked through and found this web site, great tutorial
success
Really awesome tutorials you made. i’ll be visiting you site everyweek, hope you can keep instructing width these tutorials.
genio
hy Alexander, your tutorials are amazing. I try this one but i have a problem because i don’t find “rigid body” in the mograph tag. Do you know why?
thanks a lot
keep going
May be you are on Cinema R11 you need 11.5 for this tutorial
Background Music Can You Provide
Background Music Can You Provide download
I think somewhere in the comments I post a link where you can get the music
Background Music is Bulgarian folcklor sounds? can you tell me title music Please
Большое спасибо за прекрасный урок! Есть только небольшой вопрос, как импортировать в анимацию движения разбитых осколков?….ваши буквы разбиваются, а мне необходимо сбор букв из осколков(понимаю что можно сделать вручную, но наверное есть и другой способ).
Прошу за ранее простить если этот вопрос примитивный – а начал работать Cinema 4D недавно. Заранее спасибо!
Can you repeat it in English please
Thanks!
Big thanks for nice lesson! But I have a question – How I can import destruction parts into animation? In lesson characters are dividing but I want gather their together.
Thanks. Sorry for my poor english but that not my native language)))
Hi, please explain in detail and I’ll try to answer
Thanks!
Perhaps drawing will be clearer than the text

I like it thanks!
Dear Alexander,
I was very happy looking forward to your tutorial, but then I realized my version of Cinema 4D is only R11. I don’t have Mograph 2 either, so I don’t have the Rigid Body Tag…
I am kind of disappointed I cannot follow your tutorial, because I really wanted to learn this for a movie i am making.
I was wondering is there another way to do this in Mograph 1? like to explode the segments manually using keyframes and just rotating the pieces?
Hope you can help me! =)
You can use phisics in dynamics menu – solver object an put inside the peaces and a gravity effector with – value
hi, I love your tutorials, they’re just amazing.
I’m with a problem, when I finish the all the steps until 07:05 and I click ok to activate the destruction plugin, the the word just disappear and I can’t continue the project. Do you know how to fix it? ( I think I did all the steps correctly)
Thanks
you can send me the file to check it out
Thanks a lot, but, how can I send it to you? this is my email: luishfialho@gmail.com

Please write an options of rendering at AE. I’am trying but quality quate not good as yours. Waiting 4 Answer
Thank so much of France
Great tutorial.
It’s easy to follow and very clear. BTW this is the 1st tutorial i ever watched for Cinema 4D im still a newbie at it but i got somewhat close to your final product.
My internet is to slow to upload the raw file to youtube. So i made it into a .gif in Photoshop and uploaded it here.
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?seio8g0f1z81coi
I love the tutorial Alex!
I’ve managed to get to the point where I deconstructed stuff but weird thing happen…
I’ve deconstructed right part of the text and all went just fine, as on your tutorial. Right part tho…when I’m ready to deconstruct for smaller pieces it’s getting deleted instead of breaking into pieces.
I have no idea whats happening as I’m following your steps!
Any idea what’s wrong? Please help…this is my second day on it and I’m going mad.
Anyone?
Hey man this is happening from the angle of the destruction plugin if there is no good point to make the additional parts and there is no connection to make a close plane so its delete by itself. Try with different seed number or start with different numbers of destructions also try with other angle or rotation method.
Hey alex how did you make your video like the one in the 2nd video?
After mine was finished in aftereffects the filesize is like 200+mb for a few seconds of video.
How do i make the filesize smaller without deteriorating the quality too much?
Nvmnd i solved it.
Just converted it to MPG4 and reduced the bitrate.
Here’s my 2nd attemp.
