Allegro Costume Party – what do you wish for?

Polish auction website Allegro has released “Costume Party”, the latest commercial asking the question, “Czego szukasz?” (What are you looking for?). The Allegro Costume Party commercial shows a mother discovering that her devotion to her daughter has made a deeper impact than she knew. When the young girl goes shopping with her mother in preparation for a costume party she realises that her chosen outfit has already been picked by a classmate. The mother proceeds to stretch the bounds of her creativity to craft a unique ensemble. The little girl remains fickle with the wide array of options, turning down thoughtfully handmade getups ranging from a dinosaur, rain cloud, bumblebee, mummy and astronaut. The mother is perplexed when the little girl requests a simple red dress and a string of pearls until she realizes that it was she that her daughter was idolizing all along.

Create Realistic Condensation using Mograph, Physical, and Arnold (3 Part Series)


Creating realistic condensation for beverage renders comes up in just about every motion designers career. This seemingly simple effect is one that people often ask me about. How do you make the condensation look real and beautiful, but not over think it?



Lucky for us in Cinema 4D R18 they released a new effector called the Push Apart Effector. With this new effector and some smart lighting and shading, we are going to make some killer Tallboys!



What will I Learn?

  • In the first of following three videos, you will learn how to set up your condensation using standard Mograph tools in R18.
  • In the second tutorial, you will learn how to light and shade our Tallboy using Cinema 4D’s Physical Renderer.
  • In the last tutorial, you will learn how to achieve the same look using Solid Angle’s Arnold renderer for Cinema 4D.

What do I need?

  • Cinema 4D R18 Broadcast or Studio
  • Your own HDRI Maps for lighting or HDRI Studio Rig for Physical
  • Your own HDRI Maps for lighting or HDRI Link
  • Solid Angle’s Arnold Renderer (for part three only)
  • A Can model (either from the content browser or you can find a free one here)

Part One: Realistic Condensation Setup with Mograph


Part Two: Lighting and Shading Condensation in Physical


Part Three: Lighting and Shading Condensation in Arnold for Cinema 4D.

Syncretic Noise


Syncretic Noise / 5 min / HD / Stereo A man dances secluded from a city in battle with itself. Syncretic Noise explores how we respond to chaos around us. The dancer’s natural motion continues across cuts over discontinuities of space from forest landscapes to gritty urban life. In a silent dialogue of motion the dancer’s movement convey a struggle to find solace between his permanent objectivity from societal indignations and using dance as an engine to find inner peace.
