Animated 3D Lettering with X-Particles

Overview

“In this lesson we are going to start to generate our text and define the size and what resource we will use, since within Cinema4D texts can be generated in several ways. I'm also going to explain the Motext tools to be able to adjust the polygon mesh; by duplicating we will have our letter without losing the editable one in order to return to our initial parameters. Next, we will work with particles, so we are going to "set" the X-Particles SystemObject and we are going to change initial values to place our first emitter. We will use the first letter of the word to work in an orderly manner and not slow down our computer. The main thing here is to start generating particles in object mode to tell our plugin that the particles are going to be generated by an object; our letter. We are going to create a standard cinema 4D material for this first letter to use the “noise” that those who will delimit the output of the different particles in which we will apply different shaders . ”

In this video lesson Erich Gordon addresses the topic: Emitters + Noise: good formula, 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.

Partial transcription of the video

“Emitter + Noise Good formula In this lesson, we will open Cinema. We are going to generate our text, we are going to define sizes and we are going to adjust parameters. Go for it. We are already in Cinema. For this, the first thing I am going to do is generate the text and for that I'm going to use the MoText tool, which is here where the Cloner is. They step on you here and this general option is displayed. The other thing that is convenient is to work our lettering in an editable with one project at a time for each letter, because, when starting to work with X-Particles, it is a lot of re...”
