Animated 3D Lettering with X-Particles

Overview

“When we are clear about which font we are going to work with, and once installed on our computer, we are going to open Photoshop to make a few strokes and get a first impression of which formats we like the most, I am going to use a poster type format, but it is not mandatory, if you see that you like horizontal or landscape formats better, follow that route. As I mentioned previously, a poster format works well for a four letter word.”

In this video lesson Erich Gordon addresses the topic: Sketch first, which is part of the Domestika online course: Animated 3D Lettering with X-Particles. Learn to create simulations with the Cinema 4D plugin and bring your fonts to life.

“Sketch first We already have the font installed, we know what words we will use, now we will open Photoshop to define the format and make a sketch. Go for it. How is a digital project and the result, let's say, it will be the product of all those simulations that we are going to generate and we are going to search in X-Particles, It is important and I like to make a short sketch or a short sketch first. I use that resource when, let's say the end result I want to make it as close as possible to that sketch, since first I do tests and if I like it I will polish it, that already finished I am...”
