Watch as Andy Needham shows you how he created a series of promotional GIFs starring professional athletes. From import to render, see how he used 3D to create these 2D spots.
At NAB 2018, artist and tutorial author Andy Needham shared how he created a series of GIFs featuring a beverage and pro athletes (who both will remain nameless).
In his Cinema 4D: The Best Tool A Motion Designer Could Ask For presentation, Needham will show you the entire process. From import, to tracking, 3D rotoscoping, modelling, adding 3D objects and particles, and even an introduction to Python.
He’ll even cover some of his favorite tools, like X-Particles and HDRI Studio Rig.
Let’s dive into this Cineversity presentation, and thanks again to Maxon for hosting these speakers at NAB.
