Summit 33 - Track.Comp.Win. - Cinema 4D

[@stuz0r]

Hey man! I just have to say, I've been in the VFX industry for a few years. This is by far one of the best / simplest tracking videos I have ever seen. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot just from watching your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Looking forward to more!

[@darknesskid0523]

Your almost at 10k subs! Congratz, you deserve it! Once again, you have made another amazingly useful video, thanks :D been getting in to more motion and have been rewatching alot of your vids : D thank you!

[@bartmalkus6789]

Thanks a lot for all your tutorials. A few months ago I started with Summit 1 and worked my way up to now Summet 33. It is really very inspiring stuff. I have learned a lot. For this project I had some trouble importing video in C4D. After exporting (fromAI) and importing (in C4D) a JPEG sequence it worked perfect.

[@gabrielhencz]

Thank you Matt!! I don't know how much to thank you! You're very polite to your audience and you really teach very helpful things. THANK YOU! I wish you to become more and more famous on YT :)

[@rafaelamaurypumarol9834]

I like so much the way that you share your knowledge, thanks a lot for made all your tutorials keep rocking like that bro, you are very good motion graphics artist. THANKS A LOT!

[@stijnaaHD]

i really like the ''placing 3d into real world'' thing you did here, please more !!

[@ChudleighDesigns]

Another great tutorial!

[@saltykjb8070]

For everyone who has a problem importing his videos to cinema4d. you can export the video as jpg so u got a picture for every frame in your render folder. now u drag and drop the first frame of the video into the materials and click no. then u click on the material and on the texture and go to animate. now make sure u got the same frame rate as the original video and click calculate. cinema4d calculates every frame in ur folder and creates an animation. idk why some c4d versions cant import a mov or mp4 file but this worked for me

[@CesarHDR]

Muchísimas gracias por sus tutoriales y scripts es el mejor canal que he encontrado por mucho...

[@bb100m]

you're incredible!!!! great stuff as always! keep it up!

[@youkyungkim6902]

I'm glad that i can have your tuts! So coooool. Thank you so much.

[@SheepWrestlers]

Hey, love the tutorial. 1 Question, Just wondering am I doing something wrong as their is no "Set ground plane and origin" in my After Effect CS6. I have installed the Maxon Plugin for AE.

Mt. Mograph thanks again. You are the man! Btw, what mic do you use? smooth sound.

[@Larrythebassman]

Motion graphics... rules. !!! Xcellent video thanks

[@TajuSingh]

yaa now this is the best video then all,

[@GenoFelice]

Great tutorial. Learned a lot. Did have a couple issues. First issue was that while playing the project in C4D R16 everything except the background would disappear and then reappear once I stopped playing. They would appear in the render, just not in playback. The second problem was I the plane always showed very faintly even though I checked Compositing Background. neither of these affected the final render but was perplexing.

[@bao007fei]

Awesome tutorial and easy to follow. BTW. You can use the "Tint" Effects to change the shadow to dark blue without influence the white area:D

[@KingTimmahB]

I have an issue. Every time I Create Solid and Camera, the solid always end up in the top left corner, which is nowhere near my selected point.

[@xyzgranger]

You are really good at tutorials, clear and precise maybe give more reasons why you do things though. Do you have any more compositing tuts coming? Also do you ever use maya?

[@dreambeamAI]

Thank you very much for the great tutorials !

[@emilebec-drelon2194]

Is there a way to make your 3D object in C4D and then import it to After Effect and solve everything in there with the camera tracker? I'm trying to import the 3D model of the low poly island tutorial (animated) on a moving footage (where i'd like to move all arround the 3D object), and i'm having issues about what export settings i have to choose in C4D. A really short tutorial on the diffrents features of C4D about exporting your object / animation would be awesome! (But again thank you for sharing your knowledge!)

[@Tygenja]

To colour correct the shadow at the end, I used selective colour and adjusted the black. I also quickly animated a mask for the shadow as it was too big for the shadow I'd meant to cast and it cut off at the edge of the plane form C4D.

[@kidindia]

You have great tutorials man. Keep it up buddy

[@umpfdesign9468]

Hay mate really enjoyed this tut! i'm new to AE + C4D so these really help :) I was wondering what you do when you have a shadow that falls over something more complex than a straight floor, like steps perhaps or up a steep hill. Is it a matter of making multiple planes and trying to re-model the background? Perhaps an idea for another summit? Cheers, P.

[@SolaceStudio9]

i love this! this is what i really wanna learn

[@Leask665]

Firstly great tuts i love your channel you always teach me so much. One thing i did notice is the tree to the center middle is reflecting on the front of the bug thingy, but I think that would have made this a crazy tut... If you were to remove the other tree how would you go about doing that?

[@basdezwart7554]

in after effects with stamp tool

[@danyaalbeg]

Do u think u could do another one but using PF track i have actually had some problems using it where when i import the tracker points and camera in cinema 4d it is shaking all over the place

[@Knastig]

All works out great. However if I open my track in Cinema it is not aligned to the cinema "floor". This is irritating when I wan to work with simulation tags. Is there something I missed since you have it perfectly aligned. Great Work!

[@zyh4113]

This is a really useful tutorial. I just have one question about the render. How can you still get the ground reflection on your object after when you deleted the texture for render?

[@luke_nukem]

Great channel and great video as always buddy! Just one question though. When I try to set the 'Ground Plane and Origin' it isn't giving me the option to do so. I have all of the other options except that one. Any ideas why? I'm using CS6.

[@vojtechp]

really good job dude :) your tutorials are the best on the throughout youtube ! (My English is not very good :D)

[@vojtechp]

***** Awesome ? realy :DD

[@alexandrarogalli1875]

Great Tutorial Thanks a lot!! Just got a question referring the shadow, it kind of does not appear..why could It be? I did everything the same.:/

[@LornaWilsonVideo]

I love this tutorial! I only have c4d lite so just trying to work out how to render it right in AE. I wanted to use text instead of a sphere, but I don't get the reflections in the same way following these instructions. Have I made a mistake by doing it with text?

[@LornaWilsonVideo]

***** I've tried this on a sphere and it works beautifully as it does in this tut. I've got it working ( I needed to select 'use colour - layer' in the extrude nurbs) but my reflections aren't where I want them so just gonna mess around with it. Really appreciate that you take the time to reply to your viewers. Your tutorials are great, always waiting for the next one! :)

[@LornaWilsonVideo]

***** No worries, it helped me see where I went wrong and it's awesome you reply to your viewers :D Thanks!

[@Kutkop345]

lately ive come across a problem with exporting my camera solve from boujou. Basically im not receiving the 'rotation' information in cinema 4d r16. Only the position is read by C4D r16. When I open the same solve in C4D r12 it does show all the information in there. The fix im using right now is to just save the file in r12 and then open that new saved file in r16. Do you know why r12 only reads the information? Thanks. (Im using boujou 4.0 btw, and I tried opening it on both my mac's and pc's r16 version as well, no luck)

[@shaolintiger1]

***Having Issues With C4d Materials??*** Cinema 4d ( at least for r 18 ) doesn't recognize the .mov file extension. You must render out your .mov file in After Effects to a .AVI file type and then use that as the material texture in c4d. I hope this helps anyone having this issue.

[@Thunderscheich]

Nice Tut Mate!

[@VolkanDalyan]

Awesome tuts

[@metaldiabolos86]

amazing dude!

[@yorchtheplatypus]

yo man! your tuts are awesome! big fan over here ... I'm having some trouble when solving :( everything is flat, no perspective or depht, the popup target pop a message "no depht from a tripod pan solve" what can I do? thanks

[@Zarzuh]

Loving the tutorials.

[@SpaceKingDinosaur]

Nice tutorial! The only thing that caught my eye is that your shadow was too blurry relative to the shadows in the plate, they're fairly sharp. And just thinking out loud, could you throw a levels adjustment onto your shadow layer to push the blues inside AE rather than bake the light color inside of C4D? Keep up the great work!

[@SpaceKingDinosaur]

BTW, did you shoot that footage yourself, or get it somewhere? I ask because I believe I recognize it to be in Vasques Park outside of LA. : )

[@loshan1212]

How long would it take to render on a Mac Pro 2013 Baseline? This was definitely ver short compared to your other videos.

[@GroupeQuebec_R_BusGroupeQuebec]

We're talking about a ot of set-up manipulation. I already got my main subject just think about a ski resort cabin running on a rail above my main subject into my video vcan I use this method to do it?

[@AlwaysKamin]

I don't think you can set the ground plane in CS6. I think it is only available in CC version.

[@alexanderbecker584]

Hey thanks a lot for this tutorial. It helped me a LOT. But I have a problem. I cant import a video in cinema4D. It doesnt matter what video format, I tried almost all. I dont know why it doesnt work :( HELP PLEASE

[@stijnaaHD]

can you do a summit about light ? i follow your light settings but dont know what im doing.

[@probsty999]

Thanks for the wisdom!

[@ferraridavide]

you can change the color of the shadow in after effects using curves...

[@daRaze]

i tried to create a backgorund with the movie texture but theres always the message : invalid file. What am i doing wrong?

[@fastreelauto]

When open my tracking AE in C4D, i create an object and my axes are not like you, my object don't move with my track, it go anywhere. sorry for my bad english i hope you understood my problem. run on cs6 and i dont have : set ground plane and origine... option

[@fastreelauto]

Thanks you ! :)

[@gigicoppola]

very cool!! Thx!!

[@THPSBCKD]

helpful tracking, thank u

[@tanviraraf]

where to get that character

[@jamesdrake3651]

I don't have "Set Ground Plane and Origin". I'm using After Effects CS6 ver 11.0.4.2.

[@metaldiabolos86]

just click where it says, create camera, then, create a solid, or a null, in that same spot, the origin is just gonna give you a 0,0,0 mark inside cinema

[@MrKbueno]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@8threalm124]

Anyone know how this is done for just photos?

[@RezzxhEdits]

Where do you get your sound fx from dude?

[@RezzxhEdits]

Thanks a lot. I've made my own version of this that i've just uploaded. I'd love for you to check it out! I'd be the first to download the sound pack. I love your work and what you offer to subscribers! Thanks.

[@MrDagorilla]

Thansk bro!!!! i like this channel!!!!

[@MrDagorilla]

HAHHAHAH!!!!

[@AlwaysKamin]

I also found that I can't export to Cinema 4d from CS6 either... I might just need an update but figured I should mention that to.

[@assiltorjman1981]

When the Open File does not belive in export ( maxon cinéma 4D) help me please :)

[@santhosht6031]

[@MohammedBasimlll]

thanx bro

[@ThisIsFuj]

I have always wondered why you called this series of technique teachings "Summit". Is there a reason?

[@ThisIsFuj]

***** LiquidDiamondd Ah I see, deep meaning :)

[@Theumpsken]

Is this R15?

[@zeedot01]

thank you

[@hatguyjoe]

awesome thanks

[@hatguyjoe]

Funny I actually thought that, thanks man.

[@GooStudios]

Anyone else missing the "Set Ground Plane and Origin"? I'm using CS6.

[@ethrieltd]

Yes. Me. Did you ever find it?

[@mikeprice25]

Just discovered these and they are great! However, every now and again you sound a little like Seth Green.

[@mikeprice25]

***** And you reply to people! You're the best. Actually, I have a small tutorial request. I had this idea for a video using C4d but couldn't execute it properly. Basically a shatter effect that shatters along a particular image edge. The idea was for a Dark Side of The Moon 'trailer' where it looks like glass cracks from left to right and the predominant cracks form the prism on the album cover.

[@PostAlanCore]

10 000 Congratulations !

[@PostAlanCore]

***** Hello from Russia!)

[@TheMakdesign]

I seriously learned a lot from your tutorials. I was wonder if you can make a tutorial like this vimeo.com/60770748 specially from 00:00 - 00:17. I would really appreciate. I like the colors and motion on this clip. Thanks in advance

[@TheMakdesign]

***** Thank you so much for the quick reply. I know what you are saying, but i just wanted you to show us how to make those glossy look and like if you check from 4sec until 6 it is like 2 sec and i know it will take so much time. But thanks though. I will share another link and i hope you get time and make a tutorial for that :) vimeo.com/76050404 P.s i know you made some low poly like this but I like the textures on this and the camera motion. Thanks, MAK

[@tunisianfilmmakers5663]
