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.

This is a very simple sett up  for Comedy title sequence using Cinema 4D mograph, spline effector and delay effector. The render is very fast and nice looking final output. The compositing is done in After Effects, the lights are from videocopilot plugin “Otical Flares”.

Optical Flares features:

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

One way to use basic Landscape with rock texture and get realistic landscape sceneIn this tutorial we going to create Landscape in Cinema 4D use MoGraph to create 3D text and random effector to shift the position and rotation of the letters. We will use camera settings to export Depth channel and use it in After Effects to simulate DOF using the lens blur effect.
