Hi, I'm Topher nice to meet you. » cinema 4d http://toe-fur.com Toe Fur Productions Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:21:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Freakin’ Helpful In Anything You Do… http://toe-fur.com/2008/04/23/freakin-helpful-in-anything-you-do/ http://toe-fur.com/2008/04/23/freakin-helpful-in-anything-you-do/#comments Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:41:39 +0000 Topher http://topherthevideoguy.wordpress.com/?p=11 So I thought that I would make a posting telling you all about how I really got going and got all my inspiration and all that crap, but I just figured, I’m lazy and have things to do, but what I will give you is a link to a ton of places that have helped me AMAZINGLY and will give you tons of information to make some freaking sweet stuff in AE, 3D apps, Zaxwerks, or whatever.

If you wanna make some killer stuff like you see in movies… this is the place to do it. Andrew Kramer really shows you how versatile After Effects really is.

John Dickinson pretty much is one of the best I have seen at teaching how Zaxwerks plugins really work and covers the basics in his free tutorial section… also check out his Making It Look Great Series… damn. New ones are coming out in a week!

This has everything on ANYTHING you need to know… just peruse.

Those are my faves, but there is also:

http://www.cineversity.com/Index.asp for C4D Resources
http://aefreemart.com/ for tons of free AE stuff
http://maltaannon.com/ more AE tutorials
http://www.ayatoweb.com/ae_tips_e.html more AE tutorials
http://generalspecialist.com/2007/10/cinema-4d-resources.asp a link to MORE C4D resources (I’m lazy)

So yeah… check those out if you want to get going in either C4D or AE, because seeing what cool stuff you can actually make with just these two apps… makes you feel like you can do ANYTHING.

Oh, and if you live in Tacoma or the surrounding area… remember we are shooting the Kane Hodder video at Supernova Hair and Tattoo at 4pm SHARP on Sunday April 13th 2008!

We are also going to be filming behind the scenes as well for a special I am gonna be editing after the video is done… so if you dont make it into the music video perhaps you will get on the making of!

Toph.

Pretty much what it was about is integrating both Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects to use in real world situations… it was pretty awesome… I mean the dude from Maxon completely made a freaking 97 story building build itself from the ground up being made up of particles in like 20 minutes.

They also showed us all of the features of the Adobe Production Premium Suite CS3 and showed us how to integrate all of those features as well to better our workflow.

OH…. and the food was ridiculously amazing too. Hahaha pizza and gourmet cheeses and desserts… freaking awesome. Seriously next year when it comes around to your town…. GO! or if it hasn’t hit your town yet… make sure you are there…

It was the perfect boost and just the right amount of information for me to feel comfortable jumping into the Cinema 4D interface, because there is sooooo much to it.

So yeah, bottom line… if you don’t care about After Effects or Cinema 4D, just go for the food… because it is freaking awesome.
