Some of my C4D work...

My first reaction was 'Holy Smokes' and then I laughed at the pun. 6 hours. Man people just don't appreciate the render times we have to do. I'm up to 1 hr/frame now on almost anything I do.

Looks excellent Josh. I feel your pain though, haha. Keep it up man.

BTW, RenderTitan just had a huge sale on render times so if you need to use a render farm for clients try them.
(No, I don't get paid for saying that, I plug them because I like them.)

Yeah, looks great Josh.

//Stock footage like that you could probably sell, like DetFilms.
 
Haha, thanks Gord. Yes, render times in the world of HD 3D can be hefty especially when you introduce a fluid system like TFD. I have another render I will start tonight of an updated explosion a bit more detail and better smoke. Thanks for the detfilms tip that might be a good idea eventually.

Good call on the RenderTitan. This isn't for a client yet but I have a sports package I'm doing for a big client using Vray that could probably benefit from RenderTitan!

Thanks Tower. Particles and fluids are wicked fun! Tedious but rewarding.

New explosion. No up-res this time and it's twice as long. Getting there but the turbulence needs to be on a larger scale I think it's to fast. Sim time was really fast about 10 minutes but the render was super long around 15 hours. I think I have some wonky settings to get such a long render.

That's freakin' awesome, Josh. Very realistic. I'm not sure about the scale though. To me, the particle size looks like a very large explosion, far away. If it were a bit slower, with some object for scale, it would be on the money.
 
Thanks Tower! Yeah, I was going for a very large scale explosion far away :). You're right a bit slower would help a heck of a lot and of course if it was placed in a scene instead of a sea of black, haha.

[TD="colspan: 2"]So a while ago I made a flocking bird simulation using C4D and AE. Well, I wanted to take that a little further and track it into a live action scene. I shot the footage on my T2i and in post I used C4D, SynthEyes and After Effects.

Thanks Gord. Much appreciated. I'm rendering a new version with a quicker more realistic flock :). Also, curious to set this up all in C4D with TP.

Cheers,
Josh
 
Cool.I suppose quicker might be a matter of taste. I found the slow moving flock to be eerie. The blockiness I understand and I know you do to. You know what your doing. I'm looking forward to the next one.
 
Thanks Tom!

Here's another project I made to further learn Turbulence FD for Cinema 4D. I camera mapped the photo with the help of Projection Man then created 3 fluid containers for the explosion with TFD. The sky is made in C4D. I did all the post work in After Effects. Turn your speakers on.

You ought to go and try and get a job from Michael Bay... lol

By the way, I took a look at your Vimeo page and gotta say, your tutorials are pretty darn good... :beer:
 
Hahahah. Thanks Tom. I'd be happy to work for Bay lol. I'm pretty sure he could afford me.

Thanks about the tutorials too ;).

Cheers,
Josh
