Un po’ di tempo fa, mentre sviluppavamo dei filmati per un’emittente televisiva ci siamo trovati davanti a quello che appare essere un piccolo limite nella gestione dell’effector sound di Cinema 4D. Ossia gestire parecchi movimenti ed effetti concatenati diventa un po’ macchinoso. Abbiamo pensato allora di realizzare un piccolo preset con xpresso in grado…
Come molti di voi sanno, renderking è stato in stad by per diversi mesi. In questo periodo abbiamo insegnato, studiato, lavorato molto, e amato…. ma andiamo per gradi. Per tre mesi i componenti di renderking (io nella fattispece) hanno tenuto un corso avanzato di after effects per la Adobe in qualità di docenti. È stato…

Abbiamo potuto provare il nuovo prodotto rilasciato da Nick Campbell – Grey Scale Gorilla per cinema 4D, City Kit. Le prime impressioni sono ottime, city kit ci offre alcuni interessanti preset (non molti per la verità) utili anche per capire come lavorare con questo strumento. Le personalizzazioni che city kit ci consente ci sono il…
Cinema 4d ci offre uno strumento di modellazione a voltre trascurato dai più, ma che invece ci permette di realizzare modelli dettagliati e realistici come quello postato. In questo tutorial ci occuperemo dunque di come si può facilmente realizzare un Imac 27, ma cosa più importante capiremo a fondo come utilizzare lo strumento Loft Nurbs….
Il prossimo tutorial sarà la continuazione ideale del precedente, partendo dal modellino che abbiamo renderizzato creeremo un’animazione utilizzando PFhoe e After Effects CS4, oltre all’immancabile Cinema 4d. Scopriremo la differenza tra il tracciamento fatto col software di The Pixel Farm e quello interno di After Effect e vi mostreremo in che modo i due possono…
Cinema 4D ci offre uno stupendo motore di rendering nativo, capiamo come sfruttarlo al meglio!

E’ fuori di dubbio che in 100 anni si sono fatti passi da gigante nelle tecniche utilizzate per la realizzazione di film, e questo è ancora più vero se si considerano quei film in cui gli effetti speciali la fanno da padrone. Nel video seguente sono riportati appunto degli esempi di effetti speciali trovati nella…
