brilliant! something i’ve been interested in re creating since i got my imac and watch that beautiful welcome video.
Although i foresee unhappiness at the fact that this uses cinema4D and not JUST aftereffects, but oh well, this is awesome
( )Satya Meka August 20th
I used Cinema 4D just to kinda get closer to the real one, but you can pull out a decent one using After Effects with plugins like Boris Spline extruder. Also you can get the same result with any 3D app including blender.

Really good,
( )I would say it’s perfect as an opening projection for conferences etc…

Thank you Satya. This tut is really appreciated. I’ve been waiting a bit for another C4d tut and now there are two, one here and another on CGtuts on the same day.

Hm, for me its too fast…
( )flora August 20th
amazing! You rock Satya!!
( )John Dickinson August 20th
Nice work Satya. I agree it’s a little fast in places but that can be easily fixed. Well done.
( )Satya Meka August 20th
Thank you John. Yea, I should have worked on the keyframes a little bit more.
( )Rafael Guerra August 20th
Really cool…
( )Hooper August 20th
Wow John Dickinson is here!
wow!
( )MovieMaker August 20th
It’s a nice effect, but couldn’t you have just done the text with the shatter effect in after effects?
( )Satya Meka August 21st
I tried using it, but the quality isn’t matchable at all since the anti-aliasing was bad and no proper animation controls.
( )bigbang August 21st
Nice Work !…
( )f1a5h84ck August 22nd
Thank you for the tut, Satya. But it seems you are not so familiar with the Cinema 4D. A lot of “superfluous movements”… Thanks anyway.
( )J4de August 24th
This is just incredible!
( )Absolutely fantastic work. You’re a fantastic teacher.
I’ve had c4d for two days now and this has taught me as much as all other tutorial combined.
Kudos!
kinghang August 25th
sir
( )your tutorial i can’t download it
please tell me why
thanks very much
Peter Somers August 26th
Great technique!
Quick question: how did you do the ‘tail particles’ in your inbetween screens?
( )They appear to sorta build out of a little swooshy tail and then end as a glow sphere which gives it a nice extra touch.
Done in Particular?
Satya Meka August 26th
Hey Peter,
It is a basic CC Particle World with Vector Blur applied to it.
( )Matt August 28th
Your flvs are huge!! Slow to stream such big files.
( )But I’m sure it’s a cool tut anyway.
Ak August 28th
massive tutorial but the way how cinema 4d moves is so painful to work with..since im more familiar with blender..good job none the less
( )Satya Meka August 28th
Yes I agree. I don’t like the Camera Behavior in Cinema 4D.
( )Jerem September 5th

( )Mishig September 12th
