In the following article we will introduce you to exactly 5 showreels from which you can be inspired. Stefan Schumacher: Demo Reel 2010 This showreel was realized by Stefan Schumacher, who worked as an intern at Pixar some years ago. [...]
Maxon and Adobe announced Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite, which will be included in the next version of After Effects. Cineware play an important role in the creating process of a 3D configurator. Of course, we will provide more tutorials on this new feature at launch. But for starters, we've made some demo videos [...]
If you want to create a complex object like a 3D configurator, such as a clock, you can model the different parts as separate objects. However, all parts can be linked together. In these cases, you should mark an object as the parent of all child elements. Movement, rotation, or scaling of the parent [...]
Precomposing is often seen as a poorly thought-out solution to order problems. It is a imporant task in creating a 3D configurator. We disagree with this statement. Rather, it is an effective way to solve problems and optimize projects in After Effects. Precomposing is an action to [...]
The term morph has different meanings depending on the context (important term in the field 3D configurators). In the computer field it is used to refer to an image transformation by computer animation. In general, the word is used to refer to any transformation or change from one form to another. [...]
Many of you have certainly tried morphing before and want to continue testing the technique to process different images in this way. Morphing is a important task in creating 3D configurators. In the following article we will talk about different types of morphing that will help you to improve the look of your images. [...]
For many developers, the idea of developing a video game or a 3D configurator alone often seems like a monumental task. Game developers need to consider art, animation, physics, mathematics, rendering, shaders, and countless other things that probably look like they are not relevant to the daily job of creating websites, services, or business applications. [...]
Onion Skinning is a viewport visualization for animation, which displays an animated object on multiple frames. It is often an important task when creating a 3D configurator. The current frame is displayed normally and the other animation frames or "onion skinning" are displayed as partially transparent ghosts. By showing the object across multiple frames, [...]
Most people have certainly heard about VFX and animation. These areas are becoming more and more important nowadays and are already an important part in the media, e.g. in films, in advertising or creating 3D configurators. The following article aims to differentiate between VFX and animation. What [...]
Rotoscoping is an important process within the pipeline of visual effects and a important process when creating a 3D configurator. Whether you need to remove elements from live action material or add elements, you need to have a deep understanding of this very important technique. Through this article, we want to give you a [...]
