The method of making the animation effect of rotating flexible body with C4D and AE;
1. Open C4D, select the spiral, the starting radius is the size of the spiral, and switch to the front view. Adjust the start angle and end angle at the same time to adjust the number of turns of the spiral. Radius deviation is equivalent to expansion effect, or nonlinear change, and height is the length of spiral.
2. Copy a copy of a C-transformed editable object. The spiral is composed of many points, and these points are its subdivision numbers. The plane controls the directions of X, Y and Z axes, and the inversion control starts from which end.
3. Point interpolation methods include: none, nature, unity, automatic adaptation and subdivision. Create a cube, draw a line, click the right mouse button on the cube to select C4D label-alignment curve, and move the time axis to adjust the position of 100% to 0%, which is the automatic adaptation of point interpolation. If the point interpolation method is unified, the moving speed will be more average.
4. Select the spline constraint, that is, constrain the object to the shape of a spline, switch to the front view, draw a line with the brush tool, create a new cube, and drag the spline constraint onto the cube to increase the cross-section viewing effect.
5. Copy a spline and drag it to the guide rail. The function of the guide rail is to control the direction of the spline, adjust the direction with the moving tool, and rotate to adjust the direction of each part of the object.
6. This mode is suitable for spline forcibly matching objects, and the length remains at the original length. The ending mode includes: restriction and expansion, the size of which can be controlled, and the bounding box is used to adjust the constraints of the object.
7. Select the spiral in the toolbar, use the rotation tool to adjust the direction, click the camera to select the conventional lens (50 mm), and adjust the coordinates.
8. Select the "spiral opening" object attribute, and adjust the height to 500cm, the end radius to 360cm, and the end angle to 1080.
9. Select the cylinder in the toolbar, then select the spline constraint, adjust the axial direction to +Y, drag the spiral into the spline, open the object properties, adjust the height segment to 200, adjust the radius to 25cm, click the camera to select the portrait (80 mm), and adjust the coordinates.
10. Select the spiral opening object property, adjust the height to 944 cm, select the cylinder opening object property, and adjust the radius to 30 cm.
1 1. At frame 0, adjust R.B to 0 and add a key frame; In the 50th frame, adjust R.B to 360 and add key frames; Right-click-Animation-Display function curve to make it uniform.
12. Create a new material and drag it to the cylinder, open the material editor, cancel the color and reflection, add glow-add gradient, click the triangle selection to load the preset rainbow selection effect, and interpolate it to none.
13. Select the cylinder to open the object properties, add a rotation keyframe at frame 0, adjust the rotation at frame 25, and then adjust the rotation at frame 50.
14. Right-click to rotate the keyframe-animation-display function curve box to select the curve to make it uniform, save the file, select the rendering settings to select the output, adjust the width to 1280 pixels, the height to 720 pixels, and the frame range to all frames. Turn on anti-aliasing to select the best, and then select the storage location.
15. Enter AE, double-click the project panel, import the file, check the import order, drag in the composition, preview the effect, and then output it in video format and animation format.
16. Final effect
The above is the animation effect of rotating flexible body made by C4D and AE. As a three-dimensional design software, C4D is not so simple to use. Beginners who want to learn must follow their tutors. Systematic teaching with a tutor will definitely make your self-study more effective.
