About the video: Liquid O

Overview

“In this first lesson of liquid letter we will go to the first thing in every project, save the file.

I will teach you to use the X-Particles tags and their utility, and we will place the XpSystem to generate the first emitter and see if what we did works. ”

In this video lesson Erich Gordon addresses the topic: Liquid O, 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.
