Cinema 4D R20 tutorial - Transforming effect

Hey guys - Sean Dove here back with another cinema 4d quick tip!
A little while ago one of you guys sent me this great animation made by a studio called Moose Tank and asked, how could we go about creating a similar animation. In the clip we see this really cool morph, transform effect between different pieces of technology and the whole thing is really impressive!
To better understand how Moose Tank created this transform animation I went frame by frame during one of the morph states to see if we could get any clues. Something I did noticed was that as it begins to morph, the next state actually seems to scales up in pieces as the previous scales down - and when this is played back in real time it looks like they transformed seamlessly. Now of course this is over simplifying this great piece however it will be the bases for how we start to attach it for ourselves!
So of course I was pumped to see what sort of results we could achieve - we will have a play trying to transform between two seperate objects by taking full advantage of some Mograph effectors and get some dynamics involved to finish it all off.
alright, lets have a play!

[@Mora_VFX]

yes bro jajajaja

[@hdgrimey]

Yggrassil Digital looks nothing like Thor you blind dumbasses

[@Fr00ter]

Oh what ? I was literally searching for that all day and suddenly there is a new useful tutorial (because there are no good ones for this special problem out there !) Thanks man

[@phm6834]

I really like the style youre doing tutorials, Sean. I believe even beginner can easily follow and you have a very design-oriented approach, eyeballing things and arguing how animation "feels". It might be worth to check out some of the functions cinema 4d has hidden, though. A seasoned C4D Trainer once told me how most c4d users dont know what the program has under its hood. In this case, I believe both the "reset psr" and the "connect and delete" function might have worked similar to how the "grab, connect, phong angle, collapse, delete null", but with one click. And quickly accessed with the "shift c" commandline or a custom shortcut. Just a thought, I found out how my students liked this kind of stuff since there are less steps to follow.

[@ItsOrigin]

Thanks so much for this! I am so happy I found your channel great work.

[@SeanDove]

Thanks heaps man - really appreciate it!

[@Sketchyvisuals]

Brilliant as always! This brings me back to using the Transform plugin back in like R14 with nitroblast lol!

[@yudhawiyasa]

the best closing tuts I ever watch..thankyouuuu

[@AraSargsyan]

Thank you for this great tutorial!!!

[@sweakley1]

I learn a lot from your tutorials. They are very practical and clear. I would love to watch a a tutorial on how you made the white on white animated signature at the opening of your tutorials

[@yordan_stoyanov]

Game changer. Thank you, Sean.

[@linton]

Amazing! Thank you.

[@victorsaisse1340]

AWESOME TUTORIAL!!

[@barnabasszakal7258]

Man you are very good, would be nice to see more from you!! Congrat!

[@mediscene5851]

This is amazing!

[@silveiraedit]

*Amazing bro!*

[@thefpsguy9416]

mind blowing !

[@danielharmsgraphicdesign699]

Nice tutorial! But here's a little tip: instead of selecting the Nike-swoosh, creating a selection-tag, applying the material to the object and then adding the selection-tag to the material just drag the material onto the selected polys in the viewport. This automatically creates a selection-tag and applies the material to it. This can save a lot of time.

[@thuanphan7473]

thanks for the tutorial! amazing!

[@AB-mv1mb]

thank you for the tutorial!

[@franklinvanreem]

Good stuff Sean, thanks!

[@Richard-vm8rl]

[@mohamedelfatih2337]

This is a amazing tutorial, you are unique :)

[@PHlophe]

wallah! it is.

[@papasclip]

Sean Dove, Nice work

[@glenjohnson3610]

*bookmarked* nice stuff! at around 30min mark, you can select the swoosh by just double clicking on it using the move tool, then just drop the gold material onto the selection in the VP and you will automaticly create a selection tag and a material tag set to that selection :) (its another way of useing the "select connected" (U~W) command)

[@abuzeyad3body]

Thank you it's amazing tut

[@videos4018]

This is awesome

[@davidsonsouza3322]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. God bless you .

Thanks for your great Ideas

[@inhissteps-prasanna3532]

having tNice tutorials tutorial playing when first using soft soft was a godsend. Thank you!!

[@ederpuentes4231]

Amazing!

[@zak_hachadi]

great tuto thanks so much

[@giannireyna7522]

thanks bro.. you are very generous..

[@mrprincess85]

You could just select 1 poly on the Nike logo in poly mode and hit U, W. Since it was an individual piece to start with, it will just select it. Sweet tutorial!

[@laffmonkeystudio2121]

Awesome yo!¡! Will be using this for some product reveal in a new project soon yo.

[@Liondesignner]

太喜欢你的教程了，希望多多更新！加油

[@psl1539]

Great! I followed! Benefit a lot ~

[@LawrenceBenjamin344]

The is really cool, a great way to quickly sell this effect to client. If you want it to look more polished, you almost have to do it manually in order to be able to art direction the animation more.

[@nrml7]

great one!. Thank you

[@gweeds334]

Dude that white RE20 is doooope

[@marciofeliciano403]

Great!

[@angelmanzoor]

thanks.. this video is very useful to me, lots of tips :)

[@christianns6710]

Woow. Thank you Sir.

[@htetak1101]

Thanks for shared!

[@BigAl444]

Great technique. Thanks for sharing. Question: I did this effect but with a low-poly car for starters. It was too few pieces after combing. I went back to the original and decided to split each window as their own objects and their own materials. I even saved a selection for each window, but after going through the steps again, the glass remained as one object with the car body. What is the criteria for how many pieces the Connect Object "creates"?

[@timpong2393]

Epic!

[@user-uu3ti6vx8l]

Thanks my friend!

[@MaciejPtaszynski]

HA! That's my shoe model :D Thanks for this tutorial Sean!

[@SeanDove]

And what a model!

[@gv0zdysh0k]

Thank you for the tip, well the dynamics has interesting effect here, but I think that in the original they used smth different to mograph, it seems more like they used morphing

[@evesl8629]

Gracias!

[@mphiwajassennendouvhada4511]

thanks thor

[@sim7997]

subbed nice Tut thank you

[@MagedSrour]

Thank you \m/

[@mohineshraman8101]

Love your stuff bro, can you please do a tutorial on motion tracking and adding objects or building a city ? Thanks

[@davidashton7239]

Just subscribed to you channel. Looks like there’s load of really good C4D tutorials which I’m looking forward to watching and trying to follow along. I’m new to C4D and want to learn how to dynamically introduce models into a scene. Something similar to this tutorial but I don’t want to transition from one item to another. I want a model to pop into a scene in an organic fashion. Do you know or have any tutorials that maybe able to guide me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@volther-_-7046]

damn calling out right now. Hey, when you're passionate about sotNice tutorialng it makes you actually want to study it!

[@wetwindisland6652]

I'm enjoying your tutorials my friend. I don't know if you've noticed but I think you are forgetting to edit your audio? I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this tutorial it looks great.

[@Nate-pq4qg]

[@RoiyanCahya7]

cool men!!

[@MrTateproductions]

As soon as I add the dynamics tags and play it, my shoe blows up on impact into a millions pieces haha

[@oriolysmedia]

amazing but how does the fracture determines which part of the model shall be a separate piece , is it random or based on how it was modeled?

[@jhonatanly]

The first video I've found wNice tutorialch makes production seem accessible, thanks!

[@user-pp2du5yj5m]

cool

[@renebrayanconisllaalegre9670]
