Demystifying Post Production: Simulation in Cinema 4D - Week 1 - Simulated Halloween VFX
Learn how to create a Halloween-themed VFX shot with Cinema 4D Master Trainer Sandro Sanakoti. You will learn how to can use cloth simulation to create a ghost, and light it up with Pyro to reveal loads of sweets and candy. Sandro is also going into tracking, rendering and compositing briefly.
