Maximum Thrust, a 3D printed animation #3Dprinting #c4d #bambulab #digitalart

@Abel_Okugawa @AttaBotty Hell yeah dude, you killed it as always!

@AttaBotty @TomCoben This was what I kinda got obsessed with. Warping the music to fit the image. This is the third collab in the series, and it’s really fun to play with in this way, so fun to try my best to match what Tom is doing with the image but with the sound.

GMs … keep exploring, let the music guide you.

@Abel_Okugawa GM!! 🔥🍄🔥

GMs 🌳🎧

A reminder that this work by @TomCoben in collab with our sound master @Abel_Okugawa is still up for grab on @makersplace Listen to the sound and how it makes you feel...we love it 🥰🫂

@Abel_Okugawa Haha yeah I always like looking out of bounds

@TomCoben Wow!! I had no idea what was beyond the frame!!! Like a rig getting shaken out!! So cool!

Here's a little peek behind the scenes for Flow, just wanted to show what the entire scene looks like when seen from above. #c4d #octanerender #loop

@botched @makersplace @Abel_Okugawa Thanks Gustaf!

@DavidAriew @Abel_Okugawa Yooo thanks man!! I had so much fun making on this one, and @Abel_Okugawa knocked it out of the park as usual

fuckin INCREDIBLE @TomCoben and of course @Abel_Okugawa!!!

With all of the foliage living outside the mesh deformer, the initialized scene was only about 4GB. That said, this scene still bricked my pc probably 15 separate times, requiring hard resets each time. Finally got it optimized and am very happy with how it came out!

I used a couple plugins from @RocketLasso, namely Mesh to Spline, and Utility splines to attach splines and rails to the geo, then clone plants to that. Then used utility splines to smooth everything out since the base geo sometimes overlaps itself and the trees would go flying

Getting 40 million polys to deform well in Cinema 4D was a huge challenge on this one. In the past I've relied mainly on a simple lo-poly model and IK dynamics to drive the motion using a mesh deformer directly, but with this amount of foliage that wasn't possible.

@blindgoblin 🙏 Thanks so much!

@Abel_Okugawa @makersplace You killed it on the music as always man, so happy with how it turned out!!

@TomCoben @makersplace Came out so well!! Looks amazing!!! Love the sheen on the water. 😎💜🌳🦾🎧

GMs!! Remember being a kid and playing? This artwork brings those memories back for me, going down to the LA river, and others and just spending time. I was so happy to make the sound and music for this artwork, brought back a lot of good feelings. 🎧🧙‍♂️

Super excited to share it, keep an eye out!!
