@Jason – I used the Time Scale parameter in Document Settings to slow down the simulation.

I’m curious how you achieved the Slow-mo look of your final. I’m assuming in your final you used a much slower rotation for the “Rotate Null”? I’m stumped on this one.

Thanks for sharing how this was done, beautiful piece and awesome tutorial… thanks a million

Try deleting everything in the scene except the camera and any objects you want exporting with external compositing tags, then export the AEC.

I’m having the same issue as Eric while exporting the .aec file. I’m on a Mac and I get the endlessly spinning beach ball when I click “SaveProject File…”

This happens with my created file AND the downloaded original file.

I can muddle through the rest of the tutorial, but I’d like to know what and if this problem is. Thanks.

My God. I spend half an hour trying to figure this out on my own, and then two seconds after I post the question, I figure out that there’s a triangle by gradient to expand the options. I’m a fool.

Thanks for the great tut! The effect looks amazing!

Hey Tim,

Great tutorial! The final result is unbelievable. I’m working through it right now.

One question though, for you or anybody who had worked through the tut.

I’m on step 4. In my material editor, under Color>Gradient, I don’t have the same options as you do in the screenshot, or that you describe in the mag. Specifically, I can’t turn off interpolation. I also can’t numerically define the knot positions (20%, 40%, etc.), although that’s not as essential (I just eyeballed the positions).

It appears from the screenshot that these options are a function of the knots themselves. I’ve double, right, and single clicked on the knobs. I can’t find those options though!

I have 11.5.

I’m going to feel really dumb when I hear the answer I’m sure….

tim, you’re a champ. i’m going through the tutorial and i had 2 questions.

first, it would be cool if you could go over what you had to do with the fracture object to make everything align perfectly to create the letters. that process is unfamiliar to me.

second, for some reason cinema 4d was crashing when i tried to export the .aec composting file after i made the render. as a test i opened your file that came with the project and exported the .aec file fine, cinema 4d didn’t crash. it did take a few minutes to make the file. i’m just curious if you’ve ever encountered that problem.

keep up the good work, your tutorials are the best.

was watch your tutorial “Create a Brilliant Motion Graphics in Cinema 4D”, and I was wondering how do you get the cloners objects perfect align to the logo shape?
