Separating imported Illustrator artwork in Cinema 4D FAST!

I wanted to record a very quick tutorial this morning to show how the Proportional Grid in After Effects can be changed to a 3 x 3 configuration to aid the process of designing within the Rule of Thirds.

The problem was I had nothing setup to show this, so I thought I'd create a strap (/ aston / lower third) and then show the tip... however I just kept refining the strap until I'd created something entirely different to what I started out. I guess this is the creative process and I was pleased I'd kept the screen capture going because you can see the start point and end result.

I'm not entirely happy with the end result; I'm glad it has developed a lot from its beginnings but it is by no means a finished product in my opinion and I'd spend more time refining it if it was a real job. However, it was nice to play and experiment in After Effects and just try ideas out.

There may even be a few tips in here if you look closely. No Audio.

Incidentally, in AE go to Preferences > Grids and Guides and change your Proportional Grid to 3x3 so you can work within the 'Rule of Thirds'.

Cheers,
Andy

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a winter scene in Cinema 4D using the new Magic Snow plugin from Nitroman.

Part 4 focuses on adding snow to our elements and creating large patches of snow using Magic Snow. We build the basis of a winter scene using our elements leading to a foundation to take the project further. You're only limited by your imagination and creativity! Have fun and thanks for watching!
