Nice video. What is the bg score used?
I don’t what is called but it comes by default with every installation of OS x leopard.
Exodus Honey by Honeycut
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
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…
relay great work
thanks’
but there some thing in arabic text it is written from right to left
the welcome word well be like that in arabic (مرحبا )
i know it’s because language but i get the meaning thanks’ for your tutorial
it’s relay great i will tray it now
there some thing i want to know
how to make airplane flying camera in after effect
i think it could be using script but how
any body know
gr8 work i really like it :P
Can not watch this video Why is that?
OMG!!! Don’t do a tutorial if you have a cold. Finish your thoughts and/or sentences. Lastly, I don’t want to watch you work… Pick up the pace…
thanks for another great tut, Satya Meka.
always a pleasure! C4D + AE = awsomeness
This is just incredible! Thanks a lot!
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.
Yea, The more C4D tuts the better!
Satya comes up with the goods again!
here is the original

Hm, for me its too fast…
amazing! You rock Satya!!
Nice work Satya. I agree it’s a little fast in places but that can be easily fixed. Well done.
Thank you John. Yea, I should have worked on the keyframes a little bit more.
Really cool…
Wow John Dickinson is here!
wow!
It’s a nice effect, but couldn’t you have just done the text with the shatter effect in after effects?
I tried using it, but the quality isn’t matchable at all since the anti-aliasing was bad and no proper animation controls.
Nice Work !…
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.
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!
sir
your tutorial i can’t download it
please tell me why
thanks very much
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?
Hey Peter,
It is a basic CC Particle World with Vector Blur applied to it.
Your flvs are huge!! Slow to stream such big files.
But I’m sure it’s a cool tut anyway.
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
Yes I agree. I don’t like the Camera Behavior in Cinema 4D.
can we have the source files?
Can anybody tell me where is the part 2? Please, help. Thanks
Thx Really great tut :d
Great tutorial…
one question:
Wouldn’t it be easier if instead of creating so many extrude nurbs for each character could you drag all the paths into one nurb and click on Hieracrchical under the object tab?
overall great piece!
can you provide the text animation please in the After effects format i have done it 3 times and have made errors on it. thx
Where’s the part 2 of your tutorial? i just stop on C4D and there’s no part 2.. or i will do it that by myself in Adobe After Effects? I just thought your tutorial is complete.. but thank you very much for such wonderful tutorial…
