One of the last steps in the process of making a film is adding the little details at the very end.<\/strong> One of these details is the opening title sequence. For many films, standard 2D text works just fine. But what if you want to add a little flare to your intro and give that text a 3D look?<\/strong> Well, Nick and his crew<\/a> over at Greyscalegorilla<\/a> have got you covered.<\/p>\n Some years ago, Vimeo<\/a> asked Nick to create a tutorial for the Vimeo School Series<\/a>. For this particular lesson, they asked Nick to create an animated title sequence using Cinema 4D.<\/strong> So, to start things off, let’s get a good look at what Nick is going to be teaching us.<\/p>\n https:\/\/vimeo.com\/32019001<\/p>\n In Part One of the two part tutorial, Nick will go over how he made some initial adjustments in Illustrator, then took that 2D image and turned it into a 3D object in C4D using NURBS. <\/strong><\/p>\n He then adds some creative choices to the 3D logo, giving it a smooth look instead of being hard-edged like a vector graphic.<\/strong> Nick also shows us how he made adjustments to the color and texture, as well as the reflection and shadow settings.<\/p>\n The end goal is to seamlessly integrate your 3D object into your footage.<\/strong><\/p>\n
