What you'll learn
In this course, we are going to create an organic and visually stunning shot using the modeling and dynamics tools in CINEMA 4D and After Effects. We will utilize CINEMA 4D's hair dynamics to set up a web-like element, then integrate spline dynamics within the hair module itself. We will then composite our render passes into After Effects, while integrating some of After Effects plug-ins. Finally, we will achieve realistic lens effects that will give us a natural and flowing effect which will result in this serene, organic shot. Software required: CINEMA 4D R14 and After Effects CS6.
