Hi guys, so I recently watched the Rings Of Power and loved the intro so I thought I would try to figure out how some of the effects were made.
This will be a 3 Part series covering 3 different techniques.
I hope you enjoy it! and if there are other intros you'd like me to try to recreate let me know! :)

[@carrotspell]

ideal tutor. without plugins making fantastic physics

[@apocryphal_man]

The visuals of the Intro is the best thing about the series

[@VladimirPetkovic83]

Fantastic tutorial, as always

[@orioncurrier]

really great tutorial! Awesome way of using fields

[@bharat5194]

Amazing tutorial

[@aar.on3d]

This is an excellent tutorial. Thanks!💯

[@cemgulpunk]

Great! This is so simple yet powerful technic.

[@FelixFramebrains]

Big thanks for this, great stuff! 🙏🏻

[@PanewsONE]

I literally said "awesome!" out loud. Super cool effect, great job!

[@bruceketta6316]

Beautiful tutorial, really thanks for share your knowledge!! 🙂

[@sparkstudia]

8:05 you can also simply throw the Rigid Body tag to any other object and return it back, the simulation will work. A very cool lesson! thank you!

[@traegami]

Like the transition technic animating the falloff 👍

[@metalrender4374]

wow, espectacular, excelente video

[@abhishekvishwakarma7229]

This one was an absolute banger !!

[@awabqaz8136]

this is really cool well done

[@user-ne5xt2qu2h]

Great toturial !

[@TheLizardKing752]

I did a similar thing in Houdini a while back. It was done with raster images though. You can feed it any black-and-white image and the rocks move to match.

[@sultanotaibi8380]

Amazing tutorial.. thank you so much

[@user-nv2jn8vo2i]

So cool! clearly explanation, great effect, like and subscribe, please make more tutorial stuff like that

[@tunji6434]

Amazing! Thanks for the tutorial. ❤ Really looking forward to seeing the swirly particle variation. I bet that’ll be super exciting!

[@MotionAndDesign]

Thank you! and i will be doing the swrily rocks next week Wednesday! :D

[@birthright.online1795]

This is awesome, wow

[@StepanHKA]

WOw just wow ....definitely on my list for the weekend. Thank you so much

[@MotionAndDesign]

Thanks Stepan, means alot! Hope you enjoy it when you get around too it!

[@flexcg675]

great job bro!

[@GraphixGuy]

I'm def going study this when I get into learning fields again. I appreciate the tutorial bro! Keep at it!

[@MotionAndDesign]

Aye Thanks bro i really appreciate it! School of motion did a way better break down of the field force in detail id recommend checking it out aswell kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2m6dKapa9Jll6s

[@Birkkromann]

Really amazing tutorial! Ended up being simpler than I thought it would be, but the outcome looks fantastic!

[@MotionAndDesign]

Thats one thing that i realized witrh this project was that a lot of effects seem really complicated but once you break it they become not as daunting :D

[@seretsky]

Awesome mate!!!

[@karimsayed2097]

You look a nice guy..as your tutorial..I'm not c4d user yet..but I may give it a try as u make it simple..keep going✌️

[@aspizak]

Cool tutotial. You could prob add even more micro detail with octane scatter and animate noise (to imiate them reacting to movement a bit) to give some rocks almost a dust-like level of grain around it.

[@MotionAndDesign]

That’s a great idea!

[@KLKstudios]

Nice work and a god tutrials

[@nvav970]

an absolute gem of a tutorial!!!

[@MotionAndDesign]

Ahh thanks man!

[@billydakiduk]

in 2024.3 the strength of the field force's velocity needs to be minus, or it will repel from the spline. Took me a bit of headscratching to work out.

[@Shafy7]

great>. the flow is you is amazing, it will be great when you use short cut. its shows the short cut combination on the screen, example: CMD +C

[@adamzunder7370]

Great stuff here - keep it up! :)

[@Mucharyan]

Oh this is awesome. Well done, I had the exact same thoughts on how you could achieve a similar effect while watching the intro scene as well.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it! And that’s great man! If you do something with it I’d love to see 🔥

[@behrampatel4872]

brilliant !

[@flexcg675]

thank you!

[@chinmay3d229]

Thanks Best tutorial

[@yavkoch1071]

huge thanks !!!

[@xaralamposmaniada6009]

very nice

[@sizosimelane]

I saw this and I was "YES, TIME TO LEARN". Then I saw which program you're about to use and I cried

[@aliwayne4]

Thanks MAD 😅 Amazing! just Amazing 👍

[@user-pf6lc5yn4g]

Amazing! Thanks for the tutorial.Want to simulate a larger number of objects，could you please teach how to do in xparticles.

[@rodrigo_lima]

super cool..!!!!

[@SuperSepp]

Great Tutorial. Any idea why the objects are not moving along the path? Distance mode is set to: "Radius"

[@tomdoes3d.design]

Thanks, This is a great tutorial. Issue I'm finding is that if you don't use even, symmetrical shapes, the distribution gets completely ruined and shape not visible.

[@user-dn2de1mk2c]

perfect

[@user-ey1cv8qc6x]

Thank you for the great tut! But how to make it collecting inside the vector object? For example inside the circle, not on the edge... tried many times((

[@tusharkant2829]

I think you need to select the cloner object and then go to simulate-Fieldforce, Like that it would work.

[@bogscave]

Yes but, can you do that with X-Particles? 😁

[@MotionAndDesign]

You probably could, just use an xpgenerator for the rocks!

[@3DXJ]

That’s how I figured it out with x-particles

[@MotionAndDesign]

@@3DXJ did it give you a better result with XP?

[@frankwas586]

Great tutorial thanks.

[@TheLizardKing752]

I made a similar thing a while back with Houdini.

[@motiondeshahil]

Thank you

[@MotionAndDesign]

🙏🙏🙏

[@postproduction112]

Great video 👍 Learn a lot. Can you please make cinema 4d and octane rendering tutorials some basic animation . Like make some 3d logo animation or 3d product animation with modeling. Please 🙏🙏

[@MotionAndDesign]

Hey, glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I have some commercial breakdowns on my channel, and there are a lot of basic C4D and Octane tutorials out there 🙏🏻 but if more people are interested in more beginner friendly videos I’ll definitely do some

[@AlbertoPaganotto]

Octane would be awesome 😍

[@postproduction112]

PLEASE THANKS

[@hoangcongthien7825]

you are amazing!

[@MotionAndDesign]

No you!

[@m4r_art]

Next tut do the liquid snake rocks, that part is a very cool trick to emulate.

[@MotionAndDesign]

It’s already out 😉

[@faychantria6558]

Finally a tutorial😮‍💨

[@MotionAndDesign]

Every Wednesday ;)

[@magice0123]

I love you man

[@viktorstrife3716]

I heard that the original opening was made in TYFlow, 3ds max. is it true? )

[@eliabertolotti3176]

Hi there, awsome tutorial, i have just a question. How can I slow down the speed of stones? I tried to set the strength and radius parameters but it doesn't change

[@MotionAndDesign]

You could use a "Drag" force or turn down the strength of the Field Force or alternatively in the project settings under simulation there is a time scale and you can keyframe that. let me know if that helps :)

[@chrissoba5104]

Super

[@bell2334]

Professor, if you don't mind, could you tell me how to use xparticles?

[@MotionAndDesign]

haha "Professor" i have a few xp tutorials on my channel but Insydium themselves do a bunch of tutorials that I would highly recommend! check out their channel www.youtube.com/@INSYDIUMLTD

[@omerrudnick8195]

Can this be done with Blender?

[@m4r_art]

What are your specs? I am trying to figure if I could redo this kind of sim on my laptop.

[@MotionAndDesign]

I have an i7, RTX 3080Ti and then 32Gb Ram. But yeah you could probably do it on the laptop you would just probably have long cache times :)

[@chance1226]

"The series was okay, but the intro I thought was really cool" hahahahahahaha

[@MotionAndDesign]

Haha I mean it’s the truth 😂 did you enjoy the show?

[@majorpaiyne2124]

I was hoping someone would do this with 3DS Max. This one and the one for "See".

[@aliwayne4]

Named this project "Magnetic Rocks"😅

[@user-ps6ds5ov2l]

❤

[@p0lOdadon]

Hi there, please could you tell me what's this software name ? Thanks !

[@MotionAndDesign]

Its called Cinema4D :)

[@Sajith050683]

it wasn't done practically. The research was, but it was created with tyflow

[@teo7no]

Super nice tutorial! But the fact that you have yy/mm/dd makes me crazy

[@MotionAndDesign]

haha, what do you mean?👀

[@teo7no]

@@MotionAndDesign as an european i am used to dd/mm/yy/ 😂 but is just jokes. Your channel is super nice

[@Volodymyr_Dubrovskiy]

как у вас все так просто? )

[@givaru-tan9623]

Is this blender my guy

[@MotionAndDesign]

No it’s Cinema4D 💪🏻

[@omoshbing9038]

KZbin kindly

[@Ulexcool]

But why tho?

[@Sjoerdish]

Impossible to listen to because of the background loop.

[@MegaBexon]

Intro was good, but the TV show was so bad. Thanks for sharing ideas and solutions.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Yeah i agree, i only got like half way through and gave up! But glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@MegaBexon]

[@link6563]

Why even use C4D when they rob you for a GPU rendered blender has for free

[@thodajyadahogaya6016]

Will you all Blender fanbois please just shut the F up, and let people choose the software of their choice, Blender community is like the most annoying of all CGI communities.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Haha I mean fair, but I use Octane and that is a gpu renderer, also the latest version of C4D allows you to use your gpu for simulations. But at the end of the day most of these DCC’s do the same thing it’s just based on preference, I just really liked the interface of C4D when I started so that’s why I’m in C4D💪🏻

[@Gonk]

Yeah the Rings of Power intro was by far one of the lamest, same with Game of Thrones dragons or whatever it's called, lackluster intros imo.

[@fernsehkunst]

Super cool. Annoying music.

[@leightonsilvestro3593]

rings of power suuuuuuuuucked.

[@basilechatelain965]

Please don't try to recreate anything that has to do with this show! It's like playing with a ouija board !!!

[@eng_MJ]

really great tutorial! Awesome way of using fields
