Maxon Live from NAB – Tuesday April 16

9:30 AM Pacific
Gustaf Fjelstrom (Cinema 4D, Redshift, Red Giant & ZBrush)
Out of the Furnace and into the Lion’s Den: Visualizing the Story of Daniel
Gustaf will dissect the complete process of bringing the story of the book of Daniel to life from start-to-finish. He’ll cover ideation and concepting, character sculpting in ZBrush, simulations and rigging in Cinema 4D, rendering in Redshift, and compositing in After Effects with a heavy focus on Red Giant tools.

10:30 AM Pacific
Andy Needham (Cinema 4D & Particles)
Cinema 4D’s new Particle System
Andy showcases one of the most exciting and eagerly awaited features in Cinema 4D. The emphasis is on understanding the fundamental concepts quickly. Andy also provides insights through intermediate-level, real-world examples. By the end of this presentation, you should feel confident about using these new tools in Cinema 4D.

11:30 AM Pacific
Phil Roberts (Cinema 4D, Redshift & Red Giant)
Lighting for Production: Techniques for Accuracy and Flexibility
Learn how to set up lighting groups and AOVs in Cinema4d/Redshift to give you maximum flexibility in compositing, as well as ideas on how to implement these techniques in After Effects.

12:30 PM Pacific
Nicholas Sharma (Cinema 4D & Adobe Substance 3D)
Animating and Morphing Materials with Substance 3D
Learn how to animate material properties using the new Substance 3D integration with C4D+Redshift!

1:30 PM Pacific
Robyn Haddow (Cinema 4D, Redshift & Red Giant)
Resurrecting Atlantis: Widget + UI Design in “Aquaman 2″
Lighting up the underwater city once again, Robyn will take you through some mograph systems she designed for the Atlantean ship display, as well as mapping textures inside the Octobot, the mech vessel piloted by the vengeful Black Manta and his soldiers risen from Necrus.

2:30 PM Pacific
Derek Rutkai (Cinema 4D, Redshift & Red Giant)
HARDER (surface modeling), BETTER (compositions), FASTER (edits), STRONGER (animations)
Make stronger animations using an iterative design process, learn how to efficiently make rough renders into refined sequences. We cover modeling style, rigs, lighting, and various tips and tricks to aid in the process of creating an edit faster.

3:30 PM Pacific
Gryun Kim & Woosung Kang (Cinema 4D & Red Giant)
“WAI” Creating Sci-Fi Short Film in C4D Part 1
They will provide a brief overview of the entire production process for creating their sci-fi short using Cinema 4D. We will explore cinematic camera animation tips, mechanical animation, multi-pass rendering, and compositing using Universe effects.

4:30 PM Pacific
Gryun Kim & Woosung Kang (Cinema 4D & Red Giant)
“WAI” Creating Sci-Fi Short Film in C4D Part 2
They will focus on advanced Cinema 4D techniques, how to create the growth of slime mold simulation, and efficiently connect numerous wires at once using Xpresso.
