Hello all,

Appreciate the tutorial and its always neat to see new techniques!

I have also been working on a C4D version of this tutorial and would be happy to share my work with anyone who's interested. Just drop me an e-mail at...

bundy115@gmail.com

and I will be happy to forward you the files. Life is kind of busy right now so sorry if the turn around is a little slow!

Cheers to all.

Hi to all,

I want to choose a 3d software for motion graphics, what is the best choice 3DS Max or C4D ?
also I use AE Cs3.
i want something simple to use with a good community (motion graphic tutorial and more).

I'm trying to create this tut in maya. But it's rather difficult for me, because I have just start learning Maya.

I've create pretty good wires and it's rather easy (of course it's easy if you already know the way )

The main problem I've got is in creating of wire-growing effect.

If anyone want to help with wire-growing effect - mail me mds.kostik@gmail.com

When I finish (perhapse it won't be soon ) I will post link to tut here

Anyone can feel free to contact me if they wish. My email is christophermgruber@yahoo.com.

The turn around time may be a bit slow, because we are heading into production next week on the new film.

Best,

Cool, I read the tutorial now and you??´re using a completely different tecnique... Yours was maybe better as I used myself of Mograph in mine.

My tecnique was to make some random circles, extrude them with extrude NURBS and at last use Mograph's spline effector.

What could have been batter with mine was that I was able to easily make a organic movement when the vines appeared wich fastly freezes. I know that Andrew didn??´t include that in his tutorial but it??´s a very nice looking effect.

Another difference with my experimenting and your tutorial was that I tried to make the room, it came out pretty good, except the water.

I know I probably talk to much and may appear as a n00b to the most now, so I??´ll stop talk before I get too excited.

Glad I could help.

If Andrew Integrates 3D again (which I'm sure he will,) I'll try and do something like this again.

Wow.. I didn't think it was going to be so complicated, if I think about the 3dsmax way now..

that is totally cool that someone would do that - im not even a C4d guy but for some one to go that far and actually take the time out is gnarly - all that being said many thanks to you as well Andrew!

Hello everyone, I had created a similar thing in Cinema 4D last year as a cinematic for the final animation for a motion graphics promo.
I had used the helix curve with some parameters, sweep NURBS, bend deformer, cloner object and all that jazz. Finally you end up with a sort of complex structure with just one helix and a circle.
You can download the Cinema 4D source file from the following link:

Hope that helps.

I was thinking that it would be pretty simple to create everything in C4D as well. I'm waiting on the v10.5 to arrive with the Mograph module.

I love these tutorials.

Great work you guys are doing at Lightning Rod as well.
