Hasta La Motion!

I’ve been using Cinema 4d for some time, and quite happy with the results I get from it. However, without fumefx and afterburn, sometimes it becomes meaningless to use it.

Ok. Here is my question.

I moved do max for dynamics & simulation capabilities of it (and its plugins). However, this time it became almost impossible to create some complicated motiongraphics with it, although Im not sure if it has a plugin like Cinema4D’s [Maxons’s] MoGraph plugin, which is directly about procedural animation..

Let me ask you one example question, and how can thet be done in MAX:

[With MoGraph plugin of Cinema4D, I could create a movement depending on a waveform of a sound file (using an object called Sound Effector); which is basically getting the equilaser data and uses is as a movement input (to move, scale or rotate the 3d geometry). I want to create a similar effect in MAX; so I thouth there could be equivalent tools to create some advanced motiongraphics like it can be done in Cinema4D’s MoGraph.]

I hope this thread explains my problem well.

I get my masters degree in sept but i’m nearly ready with my demoreel.. should be done by the end of march, what do you guys suggest?

I started learning max. I was using c4d for some years, but the simulation capabilities of c4d is not even close to anything looking real.

Ok. Here is my main question:

I’m looking for some reactor training – from start to end (or any 3dstudio max training that covers this)
I’m also looking for rayfire and sitni sati plugins training. I mean, I want to create simulations that looks real.

As I know, I have to learn thinking particles too. So, get this as the part of the training, too..

…..Sow, where / how can .I start ? anything you can offer/advice ?

Thank you for taking time.
Stay with the light.

thanks
