Video tutorial: Falling Cubes in Cinema 4D
2 months ago
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I will show you how to set up an particle system which will works with the new MoGraph2 dynamics to create falling cubes. We are using the new version of Cinema 4D 11.5 for that.
If you have the particle/dynamics set up in the way I did it in the tutorial you are able to use almost every object as an particle.
I tried to achieve that effects with the previous version of Cinema 4D but failed because of the old dynamics system. I did some test with Thinking Particles and that's the way to do it if you're not calling 11.5 your own or if you need more control over your particles. If you know any other way or if you are an expert in Thinking Particles let us know in the comments below.

As this is my first tutorial I would love to hear your comments about it. Suggestions, feedback or improvements are welcome. Write a comment or send me an Email.
I am not sure if I'll record video tutorials frequently so I used the trial version of iShowU. Sorry about the watermark.
Everybody who is not an owner of the new version but wants to follow me and play with the new modules go to Maxon maxon.net and download your trial version.

Thanks again.
You can find some more C4D tutorials over at motionworks.com.au or greyscalegorilla.com
These are my main resources of C4D knowledge at the moment.
I too am a big fan of Nick at greyscalegorilla.com.
I would love to see this tuturial with version 11 of C4D.
I think the best way to do it is using Thinking Particles. But its not as easy as MoGraph2.
It comes with an installer.
