Dominos Phytools

[Scott_Spengler]

Very slick. Love the camera work, color palette and textures on the dominoes. The particles flying around with the ribbons add a subtle elegance to the composite. Couple questions...

1. Are the ribbons all Mograph or clothetilde combo?

2. How easy/fun is creating a Phytools setup for something like this? Are you finding Phytools better than C4d's own dynamics. How about softbody setups?

and a couple things I noticed...

1. There seem to be a few "pops" in the fluid movie matte/texture as the text mattes on and the background's smoke/fluid layer in the opening shot.

2. The geometric background looks great and fits the overall feel of the piece. As it's not moving at all though, to me it feels a little too static. I wonder if slightly scaling or panning the background layer in your composite might not help keep your motion graphics in motion.


Very nice work. Congrats.

Nice job! Just wish it was a little longer. :)

Hey thanx a lot...
For Scott :
- yes i've used mograph, and only mograph to animate the ribbons
- i don't know Dynamics module from maxon. Phytools plugins are very easy to use, and the last
update make them very stable. next month i'll do some test with softbody tag, but it seem's easier than the rest.
- you're right about the "pops" in the title opening, i've not finish my test with the ink matte
i have,i've to find a smoother way ton mix them together
- you're right about the matte in the background, i'll make them moves thanx a lot

For Adam T : thanx too, it's a personnal work, i'm using that scene to test many setup, so i've few time to achieve it.. i'll hope to be able to make three more secenes...

I'm also working on that personnal project wich is very longer to do render too ;) :

I very much like the work on the longer animation too.

Did you do the sound track on that ?

Very nice work.

Kurtz, the dominos are cool, but I find the longer animation (T05?) just wonderful.

Looks very good. Everything works well together. Is the ink matte your own or did you purchase it? I mean did you create the ink matte?
