Course Overview

📚 Part 01: Introduction to 3D Simulation Techniques Get ready to explore the basics of 3D simulation with Cinema 4D, as we cover essential tools and techniques that form the cornerstone of 3D motion graphics. We'll start with a comprehensive look at Mograph cloners, random effector, rigid body tag, collider body tag, friction and bounce settings. You'll learn how to manipulate parametric primitives and various geometry to achieve dynamic effects that bring your scenes to life. By the end of this section, you'll have created a mesmerizing vase filled with spheres, demonstrating the power of Cinema 4D's simulation capabilities.

• Overview of key simulation tools
• Hands-on experimentation with geometry and dynamics
• Practical application of effectors and fields

Project-Based Learning

🌟 Part 02: Domino’s Project Put your newfound knowledge to the test with a real-world project: recreating the iconic domino effect. You'll model, texture, and simulate an array of dominos falling in a sequence that mimics the laws of physics. Along the way, you'll master the use of the MoGraph Cloner, adjust cloner distribution settings, and fine-tune rigid body and collider body tags. This project will guide you through the process of setting up a simulation, refining physics properties, and rendering your animation for a stunning final output.

• Modeling and texturing dominoes
• Mastering the MoGraph Cloner and selection fields
• Advanced physics settings and initial velocity control
• Finalizing the animation with proper render settings

Advanced Simulation Techniques

🚀 Part 03: Maze Project As you progress, we'll tackle a more complex project – simulating a sphere navigating through a 3D maze. This will challenge you to apply your skills in modeling environments, setting up colliders, duplicating objects, and applying procedural materials with gradients. You'll also learn how to animate the camera to follow the sphere's path and ensure that the render settings convey the full story of the simulation.

• Advanced maze modeling and collision handling
• Duplication and animation techniques for complex simulations
• Applying materials and gradients for visual depth
• Camera animation and render setting optimization
