Transformers Titles in Cinema 4D
This is a simple setup for imitation of the Transformers effect in Cinema 4D using Explosion FX. It is not the same animation butt is close to the original and is rendering very fast and ones build the setup you can put everything like text and logos inside.

Slightly different ?!?!?

А, в готовом проекте просто нельзя своё писать походу да?)

Hey Alex..What is the specs of your pc that you are using?..damn render time is to long..it takes more than 5 hours..how long did you render this one?btw your tutorial is awesome!nicejob dude!!Im looking forward to your reply
-Xaint
Yo, try to keep less peaces that will speed up the render.
Where’d you get the sounds for the preview?
Any chance you’ll prolong the tutorial and show what you did in after effects ?
Loved the Tutorial. It helped me get a great understanding of C4d transitioning from Lightwave.
Here is a example

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Also, speaking of sharing, there is a certain guy on youtube that is giving away your Transformers tutorial as if it was a template by making the text changeable within the program. He didn’t even give you any credit as the one that developed the effect. I know this is all knowledge sharing in the end but what happen’s when he starts doing it for all your tutorials?
You can check out the video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zDiIeswOjI

Hey there, great tutorial, I appreciate it. But I have an issue, I have finished keyframing the explosions, but, when the letters are back in place, they look weird. it looks like there are still triangles that aren’t in place…..any ideas? thanks.
This looks AWESOME! Is there a way to use the effects but just change the words?
Hey Alex,
I really love this tutorial, but i’m quit a n00b with after effects so could you post a tut about what you did in AE after you finished the C4D project? Thnx
Keep up the good work
I watched the tutorial downloaded all the programs but i can’t make this work at all
Just the first step of adding the text messed me up, had no idea on sizes or anything and when i added the 3d part the inside of the text was missing like it was an outline!
i seriously need help.
woooooowww. .. . that’s cool . . .thanks…
How do I get illastrator i have downloaded all of the files but yet i dont have it

Hey Alex,
first, thats a great Tutorial. I like that’s much better, than the original. But, can you tell me, which Sound FX’s you used for the Video? Without the Sound is it uncool *lol*
*Sorry for my bad english. I’m a german. But, i hope, you understand me?
Greeting
Speedy

EVERY TIME I MAKE THE TEXT IN ILLUSTRATOR IT DOESN’T SHOW UP IN CINEMA 4D WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ANYONE?
delete the original spline so you have only the offset one
what is the Spline
Hey, Alexander
I created a version of mine for my YouTube videos but the problem is that I don’t know how to turn the project into a video. Also, how can I add the lighting in the background of the text? Do I need to use After Effects? If so, which version?
Great!
Hello Alex! Is there any new tutorial coming up? i am been waiting for so long to have a new tutorial here.
hey there…thnx for the tut…..but when am trying the extrude part for my first title….li results in some kind of hollow text…..not a solid text,,,,,,where i messed up?
Hey Alex I too am curious on why You can not edit the text in your project files. Did you do so on purpose so no one could steal this? Or is it something I am not doing right.
you can replace the spline and you are done
Hey guys , anyone having problems with replacing ur text in the title instead of doing the whole thing again , plz contact me on rohit.gari@gmail.com
i will post a tutorial on this if u need
great work alex ! u ROCK
Hey mate,
Any chance of posting that tutorial or just explaining how to add your own text in the title rather than doing the whole thing again. Alexander says, ‘Replace the spline and you are done’, what does that mean?
Cheers
Hi Alex,
When i try to render your c4d file it says there is a texture missing. How do i replace this texture? Also how do i change the text? In your previous post it says “replace the spline under the extrude NURBS”. How do i do this. I am new to cinema 4d and adobe illustrator so I don’t have much experience.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thankyou

Hey Alex nice tutorial man but seems really hard for a begginer could u make me one transformers style with my gf name written on it ? will be really appriciated if u can do me one (:
When I download the project files, I only get the C4D file and textures. No After Effects file. Anyone have a link to it? I’d love to see the modifications made in AE. Thanks…
Hey Alex,
I’m up to the step where you go to the content browser> materials> hdri, the only problem is I don’t have that hdri folder, I’ve got everything else but that! I looked it up and apparently it’s default, it shouldve came with the program, or is it because of the fact that I’m using the trial version?.You think you can help me out?
Also thanks for making such useful tutorial!
Haha, mine took 2 days to render but here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzV3KcPnzpI
You have the best approach I’ve seen in the representation of such effects.
I like the art in your projects, not only technical knowledge.
Успех!
i cant get the transformers font of the website. the file never completes downloading. can someone provide another font or link to get it. thanks
How i can change the title on my own?
i downloaded the file and i clicked on the thing and it says open with something wtf?
Nice tutorial.
The material and lighting is great.
It´s more shattering and exploding than the original.
If you miss any HDRI or reflection maps
get mine for free or just few euros.

How Do i Change the text name?
Great work Bro.. And thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge….
HOW TO CHANGE THE TEXT INSTEAD OF TRANSFORMAR TO MY NAME
Great Work Bro, i only have one problem, when i try apply mograph -> random effect in my fracture object, all the word rotate and not only the letters what i’m doing wrong??
Hi,
i tried it and imported in AE but the color turned black??
HELP PLEASE: I’m trying to do this tutorial, but wheN I get to the part of aplying the HRDI texture, I can’t find the folder that contain the textures. How can I acess this? Do I need to download any item? Thanks for any help.
Alix, at the end when you move the big explosion up what are you setting it to in order to get everything to disappear before bringing in the other text? I am having a little bit of issue with that and my text never looks clean even after doing some of the things you hint at when the text still looks a little off after moving the explosion back. Any help would be awesome.
Great tutorial. I have same problem as few others. Explosion FX showing some effect even when “time” on “0″. Same with Big, left, right and centar Explosion FX object.
Big bro!
Its a great tutorial..
Can you pls let me know from where and how I can download the tutorial video?
Thanking you in anticipation!
muy bueno el trabajo en cinema 4D, FANS a esta página. gracias
nico
Hi. First of all I’d like to say thanks for doing these tutorials, they’re great. And to Ivan, i was having the same problem as you, after the animation was done the sign would still be just a little bit affected by explosion FX. I found a solution: keyframed the Cluster -> Thickness to 0m (or whatever unit you used), just when the explosion should have been finished. Hope this helps.
can u send me a tutorial on this ? cause i wanted to edit it.
Wow you are brilliant! I will recommend this site for sure. Perhaps my request now is an annoying one seeing as a tutorial is supposed to allow people like me to produce this on our own – but C4D is making life difficult right now for my novice brain. Would you be willing to do this for me? (perhaps I would have to pay?)
Regards
Lisa
hey alexander, i’m quite new to this program and havn;t realy used anything like it. My text is just outlines, how can i fill it up so that its an solid object?
