And here for your viewing pleasure, the opening sequence of the solar panels. Keep in mind that the model is far from finished.
I still have a long way to go with this one.

Work in progress – old school spacecraft

Tadaaa! Presenting my old school spacecraft, handcrafted to ship the futurebox to galaxies no man has ever seen before.
I’ll update this too as the futurebox project evolves. Yay!
futurebox update 2
futurebox update 1



I added some details like a numeric pad on the metal box and a connector on the white and black boxes which could be used to fill in gas for example. Maybe the frogs need to be put in stasis. Who knows?
I also added more bevels so close ups are more detailed.

Goodie – Desk


It’s time for another goodie to share with the mighty C4D community. I modeled this desk for my 99frames contribution. Feel free to use this any way you like as long as it complies with this creative commons license.
If you use it in one of your projects it would be great if you mentioned me or my site but it is not required. Have fun!
Caustics and stuff


GSG had a nice little tutorial these days about adding caustics to your scene. I always wondered how you do it right and finally had a chance to put my hands on it. I like the final result and modeled some gears because I thought the two rings look too much like wedding rings.
Thanks Mr. Gorilla for your always helpful tutorials.
Thinking Particles One
The rendering for the TP-animation just finished. Added a little bit of disco for more “bling”.
Now I have to dig much deeper into TP and Xpresso. Used the physical renderer again, I have to do a comparison between advanced render and physical render to see how the time/quality ratio adds up.
Hope you like it.
99frames – The Social Animation Project
This is my contribution to 99frames.
One of the rules is to use one of the new features in Cinema 4D 13 and I used
the physical camera/renderer of course. It’s the single most awesome new feature in my opinion.
I wanted to be as close to a real world camera setting as possible. I tried to render
it at high settings in the physical renderer but one frame took way over half an hour to render
so I set it to medium and voila, six minutes render time per frame at 800 x 450 px.
I modeled the desk and the box (of course) myself, all the other used models are either
assets from the Cinema 4D library or other free or bought models.
Of notice here is a Polaroid Camera on the shelf from the pixel labs tech pack
and a analogue retro camera from GSGs free model pack.
For the short time I spent on the project, I think the outcome is pretty good.
Hope you like it!
Time …
Here is one of my latest video projects. The basic idea was to build a simple but cool setup in Cinema 4D that allows me to experiment with the editing in After Effects. Important of course was the sound. I found a very suiting track on audionetwork that fits the theme of time and timing quite well.
