Exercise 5: Standard Materials

Objective This assignment required me to create at least two objects and apply standard materials to it/them. Animate a camera and/or the object(s) enough to give us some slight change of angle. Additionally, we were encouraged to add in lights, floors, and/or deformers. Goal The end goal for this was to do an abstract piece, …

Jake Brush

Upon looking at the work of Jake Brush, at first glance I am met with the thought of “what kind of work is this?” and “how is this art?”. Yet again, I remind myself that art is subjective, and if that is the intention then that is what it is. Art is meant to have …

Demo Reel

For this demo reel I decided to let the music set the flow for the video. I tried to pace it to such so that certain parts matched the beat. This video was a combination of the work for Advanced Motion Graphics. All of the assets were created in Cinema 4D and the video was …

Text Exercise

Objective For this exercise the objective was the use what was learned about text, effectors, and fields to make something new for the demo reel. Motion is important for this one and should feel motivated and interesting. https://vimeo.com/884910393 For this one I decided to try recreating that of a balloon popping using the word poof. …

Learn, Show, and Tell: Liquify using Pyro

For this assignment, I had to find a tutorial and learn a new skill in Cinema 4D and then teach that skill back to the class. Since i'm a fan of realism, or recreating realism, I decided to try and create water or liquid, so I could possibly use it for future items. This tutorial …

Redshift Materials Exercise: Jack-o-Lantern

For this exercise, I had to create an object and then use redshift materials, lights, and cameras. With how close we were to Halloween for this assignment, I wanted to create a jack-o-lantern for this exercise. Process I started with a spline pen and created half of the shape for the face of the jack-o-lantern, …

Soft Body Simulation

https://vimeo.com/877780464 For this assignment I had to use what was learned in class about soft body simulation to create a short animation no more than 15 seconds. I had to make use of my skills that I've learned so far to make something new and remarkable for my demo reel. Upon receiving the project brief, …

Exercise 7: Rigid Body Simulation

For this exercise I had to use what was learned in class about rigid body simulation to create a short animation no more than 15 seconds. Additionally, I had to use the skills learned so far to make something for my demo reel. For starters I decided to use a stock bowling ball from the …

Physical Materials

Original Physical Materials Animation https://vimeo.com/873431529 Physical Materials For this I wanted to do a somewhat abstracted mechanical reflective material. I didn't want to use direct lights, so I went with an illuminated shape that is not visible to the camera, and hovers over top of the shape. and another one behind it to help illuminate …
