Modeling and Rendering a Baseball Wall Title Spot
“In this tutorial, Michael Szabo from Big Mike Design walks us through his recreation of the popular baseball wall title scenes that have been used to advertise baseball games this season. After modeling both manually and with the help of Mograph, Mike also covers proper rendering habits when moving into After Effects for compositing!
“The tutorial covers a lot of ground within Cinema 4D and After Effects, as we build a 3D environment that closely resembles an outfield wall in a baseball stadium. The final project resides in After effects and can easily be tweaked by simply updating and swapping the title images that are placed in our scene.”
A Quick-Start Guide to Cinema 4D
“In the first of several tutorials looking at the different aspects of Cinema 4D, Aleksey Voznesenski begins by giving a fast-paced, quick-start overview of the interface, basic primitive objects and lighting/HDR maps. If you’ve always wanted to try C4D, or even if you’ve got a good amount of experience using it, this tutorial will help get everyone up to speed for the amazing Xpresso and Rigging tutorials we have coming up!”
Using Xplode to Shatter Objects in Cinema4D
“In today’s tutorial, David Kwasnik takes us through the process of creating an amazing Cgtuts+ ident, using the Xplode plugin for C4D. This plugin allows you to very easily and quickly cut any object up into many different pieces, and in the following video David shows us how to art-direct the size of these pieces to get the required result. This process, combined with MoDynamics and Mograph 2.0, is used to create an impressive shattering effect. It’s then over to AE for some optional compositing work!”
Create a Futuristic Airship Scene in C4D – Day 2
“In the second part of this intermediate 2-day tutorial, Konstantin Muromtsev will be showing us how to finish up this futuristic aircraft scene using Cinema4D. After adding in the remaining ship, we’ll create the environment, add lighting, and make use of the Camera shader from MoGraph 2. Finally, we’ll then take a look at how Advanced Render post-effects such as Highlights and Glow can be used when compositing in Photoshop.”
Create a Futuristic Airship Scene in C4D – Day 1
“In this intermediate 2-day tutorial we’ll be looking at how to create this futuristic aircraft model using Cinema4D’s primitives, structure tools, Hyper/SweepNURBS, and the Landscape and Sky Shader objects. We’ll also cover how to create simple but effective materials, how to use the Camera shader from MoGraph 2, and take a look at how Advanced Render post-effects such as Highlights and Glow can be used when compositing in Photoshop.”
“In this tutorial series, I will be covering the basic process of how I created my piece “lost.” The first part of this two part series covers the basics of creating 3D abstract pieces and how to incorporate them with photo manipulation; the second part will focus on the creation of effects in Photoshop and how to enhance and strengthen the final image.”
Quick Tip : Modelling and Rendering a Pillow in C4D
“In this quick-tip tutorial we’ll be taking a look at the techniques required to model a basic pillow/cushion object in Cinema 4D. After applying a simple material, we’ll then investigate using Maxon’s “Advanced Render” system to add a depth of field (DOF) effect to our final render. For anyone doing arch-vis interiors in C4D this tutorial is a must see!”
Create a Stylish Animated Logo with Cinema 4D and After Effects – Basix
“In this Basix tutorial, we will be creating a stylish animated motion graphic by blending 2d and 3d elements. We will start by making the 3d cubes animation in Cinema 4d, and then import it into After Effects to finish the composition and make some final adjustments.”

Composite A Live Action Jet Flyby – CG Part
“In this 2 Part, 45 minute tutorial we’ll go over the process involved with compositing a jet, helicopter, or even a UFO into your live actions scenes. You can watch Part One here in CGtut+ then head over to AEtuts+ to Watch Part Two.”
