Making It Look Great 7 – MoGraph Unleashed
Making It Look Great 7 – MoGraph Unleashed will be available on Motionworks next week.
Comprising six unique collections of tutorials on the Cinema4D MoGraph Module. In total almost 8hrs of professional training.
Follow helloluxx or Motionworks on Twitter to hear news of the availability. As soon as the download is online it will be tweeted to you all.
Here is a brief description of each series to whet your appetite.
Starting with the creation of a simple logo model, then breaking it apart polygon by polygon, a techni-coloured interior is revealed. Lit using Global Illumination and powered by dynamic forces, watch thousands of tiny letters, each an individual light source, falling, colliding and bouncing. After studying this collection, you will control the power of dynamics with your fingertips.
Subjects covered include:
Rigid Body Tag
Plain Effector
Random Effector
PolyFX
Global Illumination
Whether you wish to recreate a realistic print style halftone effect or build a giant stadium jumbotron structure, this set of classes explores the numerous options available when working with image based source material. Combining the power of the MoGraph Cloner in Grid Array mode, explore the potential the Shader Effector has to offer. Once integrated with the Color Shader, you will unleash unlimited possibilities for your own projects.

Damn, I’m going to be on holiday in Austrailia next week!
Some thing to look forward to when I get back to rainy old England!
Hey Tim
it seems like a no-brainer to me. I hope its available as a dl.
Man the Flocking and the MoCap look so sick!!!
top-notch again Tim.
cant wait.
Love the fact to get tutorials on 6 different projects and that it will be already available by next week!!!
Tim this is going to be amazing. Thanks for making these tutorials!
Nice !
100% sure purchase
wanted to follow some fxphd classes, but this one will go in first.
Will I be able to do most of the stuff covered in C4D version 11 and Mograph 1? This looks great.
awesome tim! thank you.
Looks fantastic. Congratulations on the high quality work.
Looks great! I’m in for one!
Psyched – this is looking fantastic!
COOL STUFF! Cant wait to buy this!
I’ve been able to come up with this little dynamic effect before seeing these tutorials :

looking forward to what I will be able to do after.
Respect,
and congrats with Czara.

Yes, you’ll be able to follow all the tutorials except the one series on dynamics.
bought these this afternoon, great pace and very clear. My only frustration is on this tutorial I don’t seem to have an orientation option parameter in the inheritance effectors panel when set to linear so I can’t really finish it off. I’m using 11.5 but it doesn’t seem to be in 10 either? Is there a preference or something I should change?
If you don’t have the orientation option, then you could update to 11.530. Choose Help > Check for updates, then install the latest version.
If you don’t want to update, you can just rotate the effector. The falloff defaults to the Z axis so rotate the effector so the falloff is along the correct axis.
Hope that helps
cool, thanks for that Tim, i’ll give it a go this evening!
Hi
I’m having a problem with MOCAP tutorial. I imported an FBX file that I got from TurboSquid – but it has imported with joints so I converted the joints to bones but I lose the animation on the character.
Is there anyway I can keep this animation or transfer it onto the bones?
Cheers
Jake
Hey Jake,
You should be able to just link the joints in the Tracer object instead of bones. Is there a problem doing it that way?
cheers
Tim
Thanks Tim – I tried that but I don’t get any splines from the tracer
Any ideas?
Tim
Got it working – If I switch off traces vertices it makes the splines
Jake
Hi Tim, Great tutorials; thanks!!!
But, I’m having the same issue as Jake, above; on the MoCap tutorial.
You mentioned, in the movie, that unchecking “Trace Vertices” rectifies the problem of not seeing the trace; but despite this, I can’t seem to. I’m using version 11.5 of C4D. The FBX file did bring in joints & not bones.
Also, on your version of the Shader Effector, when set to linear, you could define the orientation under “Offset”; mine didn’t have this option.
Hope you can help.
Marc
I’ve just opened the project on my laptop & it works fine…I may have to reinstall C4D on my Mac maybe.
Cheers,
Marc
wonderfull gifts from the pro.
Thank you so much.
Greatings Tim and Everyone
Hey Tim, i would like to know where could i get that skeleton FBX u used in the Mocap tutorial? Is this file for sale on turbosquid? if yes, can u please provide me with a link? Thanks in Advance
Cool4D
@Cool4d If you search for FBX files on turbosquid then you should find plenty..
Like these…
Thanks for the link Tim, actualy i tried some of those ad was’t able to open them up in C4D 11.5. I will read back ur advice and try to make it work. However i was attracted by ur skeleton simply because of his look. The FBX files from Turbosquid looks so diferent but i guess i just need to learn more about FBX…Anyway, thanks for the help.
Cool4D
ps: I saw u had a new C4D course at FXPHD, is there any menu that show what its the course?
Peace…
Ciao tim , i m Mauro from italy .. please help , i ve a big problem with mocap tutorial and i dont know how to fix it !! ..
I ve some objects to clone on a dogwalkcycle fbx file .. i ve imported joints ( not bones ) and unchecked the trace vertices but the tracer doesn t work and i can t generate any splines .. i i m a cinema 4d newbie and actually i m using 11.5 version .. the fbx i m using is FBX 2010.0 with import default settings ..
I can t find the solution , if you have time please help !!
Aiuto , Aiuto !!
means help.
P s : … I have to admit … i found your tutorials on the net , and sorry if i didn t bought it :/ , but in this way i ve accidentally discovered your awesome work and your contribution to cinema 4d users , and i m really learning from it .. your tutorials rocks … cheers …

@Mauro Forgive me if I misunderstand you, but it appears you have used a pirated copy of my training and are asking for technical support. I’m sorry but I cannot help with your problem. If you would like to buy the training then I’d be happy to offer support.
Hi Tim
I have problems with the MOCAP tuts
I import an FBX from TurboSquid
and select which items I want to include in the tracer
then back to the beginning and I can not see the results equal to the tut
I do not see the lines.
I’m sorry for my english
I’m Chilean
Cheers
