This promo for our brand new MILG7: MoGraph Unleashed video training, was created using Cinema 4D and After Effects. The Out Now text bounces using MoGraph 2.0 MoDynamics, the sky was added in After Effects using Trapcode Horizon, and the colour grade was created using a combination of Magic Bullet Looks and Mojo. For a 10% discount on Horizon, Looks or Mojo enter “motionworks10″ on checkout! Watch Movie
Alexander of Amateurmedia.net has created a stylish new font named Typograph Pro. Also check some of the great usage examples created within Cinema 4D.
Red Giant Software has released Colorista 2, with some exciting new features and improvements. Use motionworks10 for a 1o% discount.
Fontfeed.com has an excellent column “Screenfonts” which discusses the use of fonts in movie posters.
Industrial Light and Magic has a new site. It’s quite amazing just how many productions ILM has been involved in.
Urban Dirty has terrific free grunge stock images and also provides color themes for various images with a downloadable .ASE file. You can import the .ASE file into After Effects using Swatch You Want.
nailgun* has done some smart spots for ESPN. Note the detail and depth, enhanced by depth-of-field and subtle camera drift, taking the photo/slide theme to the next level.

Hey guys,
I just bought your set but if i have technical questions about the tutorials, is there a thread to ask them?
February 14, 2010 at 3:00 pm |
Hi Jan, there is a thread in the Forum. Best wishes, John.

John
I’m sure the training is awesome. (Hoping to pick up the 6&7 bundle soon)
Other than the “out now” this looks like it could have been done in Pro-Animator. By doing the sky in AE there is no interaction on the 3d letters. Any reason why you didn’t do the entire composite in C4d?
How did you do the smoke in the foreground? Is the explosion Action Essentials?
P.S. What is up with the ProAnimator update? Its been a while
February 14, 2010 at 3:03 pm |
Hi Lou, all text was done in C4D (ProAnimator doesn’t have reflections). The bouncing Out Now was done easily using MoGraph 2.0 as well. It’s far more flexible to composite in AE then directly in C4D. Foreground smoke and explosions are Action Essentials 2. As far as the ProAnimator update… that’s a question for Zaxwerks

Looks like you used ReelSmart Motion Blur on the “out now”?! But without motion vectors, right?
Saw some artifacts.
Nice Promo. Like the smoke in the background.

Hey Grischa, yes I gave it a go and it worked well mostly but had a few issues with the fast moving “out now” text.
February 15, 2010 at 12:06 am |
Nice John! How about a tutorial on how your pieced this little promo together!
February 15, 2010 at 7:39 am |

Please,please,please john do some basic hierarchy tutorial for cinema 4d . i see lot of tutorial on net but none of them explain how hierarchy work in cinema 4d . I see tutors do most of work in object panel to get desire result . They called this parenting or something else .They come and just start arranging elements in object panel but no body tell why they are doing this in object panel and how parenting works in object panel . I know well about parenting in after effects

Good to have you here Toby!

I bought Milg 7 watched it – and love it! But it would be nice if Tim would have supplied this water texture he used in the Mocap part…Any chances on that?
March 2, 2010 at 2:04 pm |
Not sure if’s just me, but was anyone missing the “Light Dome” file that was included in the download?
March 17, 2010 at 4:45 pm |
yes, i seem to be missing “light dome” too
unless i’m looking properly….
March 17, 2010 at 4:48 pm |
The light dome is inside the project files. Try looking in the Flocking file. Best wishes, John.
March 18, 2010 at 3:37 am |
And where can we get the water texture from the mocap example?
March 21, 2010 at 2:26 pm |
Hi illd, we may do a short tutorial on how to add the water texture. Best wishes, John.

Got my copy of MILG7. Wow! Tim’s training really is the best out there for C4D.
Informative, inspiring and original!
Good work!
