ANGRY - The new single by the Rolling Stones
I had a few days downtime between bookings and took the opportunity to create another personal project.
I wanted to explore Cinema4d’s new and improved cloth dynamics, so this seemed like the perfect chance.
First I found the awesome music track by rapper Kofi Stone - Busker flow. This allowed me to really set the tone of the piece as I began experimenting with a rough edit.
I had to keep the creative simple and straight forward to be achievable in the time. So I began experimenting with different techniques of breaking the trainer apart.
The technique that I used for the leather sections was to simulate each part separate from one another. With wind and turbulence blowing them away from the shoe.
I would then bake the animations down to point level animation and then retime this with a time track, allowing me to easily art direct the timings and velocity of the morphs, while maintaining the overall simulations.
As I developed the animation of the trainer I was unsure about which scene to set it in. I’ve always wanted to use photogrammetry for a project, so I sourced a fantastic scene from ArtFletch (https://sketchfab.com/artfletch), I replaced the flooring and with some depth-of-field rendered with redshift, I was pretty happy with the result.
