NAB 2018 Rewind - Nate Rodriguez-Vera: A Lazy Artist’s Guide to Using Cinema 4D Commercially

Watch all of the NAB 2018 Rewinds on Cineversity: https://c4d3d.com/2qUomyM Nate Rodriguez-Vera shares his journey from music to design, and from 2D into 3D, in this NAB 2018 Rewind. You’ll see how easy it is to get started in 3D design and learn some of the tricks Nate has picked up as in projects for Camper Shoes and Trident Gum. You’ll see how to arrange simple shapes and use Booleans to create a geometric design used as the hero image for Camper’s lookbook. For the Trident spot, Nate used C4D’s Cloner object and Dynamics, and added a fluid simulation via the X-Particles plugin. Finally, Nate reveals the power of exploiting perspective, and you’ll see how simple models arranged in just the right way helped him create imagery highlighting various shoes in the Camper campaign. 04:46 Nate's Journey 17:24 Client Projects 21:39 Keep it Procedural - Booleans 26:11 Pick the Right Tools 27:36 Cloner and Dynamics in Trident Spot 29:38 Fluid Simulation with X-Particles 31:49 Let Someone Else do the Grunt Work 33:40 Trident Gum Package Rig 36:30 Exploiting Perspective (Camper)
