I just got VrayforC4D today and I wanted to do some testing with it. Certainly going to take a little bit of time to get use to but I’m very impressed! For this render I used C4D, Vray, Xplode, Mograph 2 and did a little bit of post work like some subtle DOF and motion blur in After Effects. I’ve been really busy lately but I hope to have a new tutorial up very soon! [...]

I had a bit of time Saturday night to play around with Trapcode Particular for After Effects and I came up with this.   Particular has an infinite number of uses!  I could certainly imagine making some cool underwater blood. Turn your speakers on.

This was a quick example I made while I was beta testing The Foundry’s CameraTracker Plugin a few months ago.  I finally made it viewable on Vimeo.  It’s a fantastic plugin for people that want to enhance their compositing with 3D tracking directly inside of After Effects.  Thanks to CameraTracker, Colorista II and Action Essentials 2 this only took me a few hours to create.  The footage was shot on a RED camera.

Here’s a photo I compositied for a client. I created most of the fireball in Cinema 4D using Turbulence FD. Then I blended several C4D renders together in photoshop along with one stock photo of fire.  Click on the image to see all the detail.
