LIVE Project Breakdown | Nike Air Bubble Inflate Animation

LIVE Project Breakdown | Nike Air Bubble Inflate Animation Join Maxon Trainer Elly Wade for her first monthly livestream of 2024! You’ll learn how to create your own self inflating Nike air bubble animation inside Cinema 4D. Including the procedural modeling setup, quick UVing for those perfect texturing additions and how to create a self-inflating simulation with some added alembic tips and tricks. Finally, you’ll be lighting and texturing your final animation in Redshift, borrowing some pre-made assets from the Asset Browser.
