Floating Text from Brad Munoa on Vimeo.

Here’s a cool way to make text float on a wavy surface. Here’s the scene file so you can break it down.

I know the “a” comes out of the water a bit but I don’t have time to render out the fixed version. (at work… shhhhh)

Carbon Fiber Material

Posted: February 23rd, 2011 | Author: Brad | Filed under: Cinema 4D, Free, Materials, Motion Graphics | No Comments »

Here is a Carbon Fiber material I put together in Cinema 4D. Much less messy than using the real thing. Turned out pretty cool. If you make any cool changes let me know. I’d love to see an improved version. Happy Motion Graphixing!

(remember to adjust the tile settings on your texture tag to fine-tune the weave)

It’s Counterfeit Time! from Brad Munoa on Vimeo.

Ok… so I work as a Motion Graphic Designer in a casino and I have to do a lot of money falling, flying, stacking, etc, etc… I’m currently developing a Cinema 4D preset that will allow you to make any form of American currency at the click of a button. You’ll be able to make bills fall, fan out, stack up… what ever you think up. Make all the money you’ve ever dreamed of! Coming soon. For now, here is a free model of a $100 Bill that can be used as a custom particle in “Particular” as in the example above. Feel free to post any comments or features that you’d like to see included in the preset… besides it turning into real money.
