In this tutorial we’re going to learn about the brand new Cinema 4D renderer included in After Effects CC 2017 & how to create a cel shaded 3D object!
New to 3D? Watch my FREE Cinema 4D Lite for the 2D Animator series!
Topics covered include:
• Converting Illustrator files into Shape Layers
• The difference between the old Raytraced 3D Renderer & Cinema 4D Renderer
• Extruding shape layers
• Using Lights to add cel shading to extruded objects
• Adding colors to specific parts of extruded objects (Front/Back/Side/Bevel)
• Learn about optimizing the Cinema 4D Renderer render settings for optimal RAM preview playback
• Creating an Isometric style camera for flatter, more geometric compositions
If you have any questions about how to Create A Cel Shaded 3D Object Using the Cinema 4D Renderer, or questions about the Cinema 4D Renderer in general, be sure to post it in the comments section and if you create any fun 2D cel shading works in After Effects, be sure to share it with me on Twitter or in the Comments! Thanks for watching!
The thing I have always wanted in AfterEffects is finally in AfterEffects! This is an excellent intro into the C4D renderer to get someone up from 0 and functional with it.
Glad you liked it and found it useful! Have fun with it!
Just thought I’d let you know that the VERY first line of copy under the gif looks to be copy and pasted from the previous tutorial about soft body dynamics. :)
Whoops! Thanks for the heads up! Fixed it! :)
Hi – how did you accomplish the motion trails is this example?
I just made them manually in After Effects!
