Cinema 4D Music and Motion Test

Animation, Design | August 20, 2009

Here are a couple motion tests I did a while back using Maxon Cinema 4D. I’ve been using C4D whenever I need to dive into building anything that requires 3D rendering or animation. I love the program and it’s been fairly easy to pick up due to the fantastic GUI. The star of the show has got to be the stacking layer system, allowing users to easily add modifiers, shaders, properties, etc to objects and keep track of them through the intuitive tree view.

OperaBOT Animation Contest

Animation, Events, Industry, News | June 16, 2009

Operabot_mascot

The Vancouver Opera is doing an online animation contest called “OperaBot”. Rival Schools did the character design for the OperaBot mascot and also has the opportunity to participate as a member of the judges panel for this contest. I must say that it is a great honor for us to be on the same panel with representation from Pixar, Bardel, EA and Rainmaker.

The contest has already started, so you can start submitting for it. The last day for submission is November 1, 2009. The prizes are great and well worth the exposure if you’re into animation.
