Thinking Particles is a powerful particle system inside of Cinema 4D.

However, it seems not to be used as much as it should because it requires Xpresso.

Luckily, Chris is here to demystify Thinking Particles a bit and show you how to harness it’s power.

About Chris Schmidt
Chris Schmidt is a self taught Cinema4D user since version 6 in 2001. After teaching C4D for 4 years at Prairie State College and creating a series of tutorials for Maxon on Cineversity, he cofounded Chicago’s C4d user group ChicagoC4d (@ChicagoC4D). With a general obsession of all things C4D especially character rigging, animation, Xpresso and Thinking Particles. Most recently co developed the City Kit with The Gorilla.

His name is Mike aka The Monkey and is a Cinema 4D wizzard.

In the next videos e talks about some pretty advanced stuff like how to use joints, hierarchies, and Xpresso to build natural structures that are great for spirals, curls and golden section goodness.

Enjoy!

Part 1

Some words from Mike

“It’s 45mins of me geeking out on spiral growth. If that interests you then grab a whiskey and come along for the ride. The purpose of this video is not only to share some of the methods I use in my work, but also to gauge people’s reactions to the pace, focus, content, and style of the presentation… so please, feel free to comment.”

Part 2

“After finishing the last tutorial I received several emails from other people showing how they approached spiral growth. This time I run through a variety of new ways to do the same thing and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each.”

We will also discuss how we can incorporate Sub Polygon Displacement and some other cool features along with that sketchy material.

In this one, he will show you how to make a spinning glass block animation with Cinema 4D, Mograph and refraction. It’s based on an animation by Lumiere Studios.

Part ONE

Part TWO

In this part, we we’ll bring the final render in after effects and do the final composite. We’ll use After Effects, Trapcode Starglow, Curves, Compound Blur and Colorama to finish and composite the scene.
