Introduction to Cinema 4D
Course 5: Basic Animation Tools and Concepts: Rigid dynamic objects
By Francisco Cabezas
About the video: Rigid dynamic objects
Overview
“In this lesson I will teach you how to simulate gravity for objects with rigid behavior. This type of behavior is one of the most interesting effects in Cinema 4D, since it will realistically simulate gravity and strength.”
In this video lesson Francisco Cabezas addresses the topic: Rigid dynamic objects, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 5: Basic Animation Tools and Concepts. Learn to use basic animation tools and tags.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson we will learn how to simulate gravity for rigid objects. I show you. Creating a dynamic object in Cinema is very easy, for example, compared to other 3D software like 3ds Max than when I started, well, it was quite difficult to create objects that had mass and weight, etc. Here Cinema does it very well and very fast. All we have to do is go to the name of the ball, Tell him I want to add a tag. Right button, Simulation Labels, and tell it to be, in this case, Rigid body. That's it, it's super simple. Now as soon as I give Play, that ball ... It will behave as if it had a mass...”
