Creating Organic Ice Growth Patterns in CINEMA 4D
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create organic ice growth and ice crystal patterns in any shape using After Effects and CINEMA 4D. Software required: After Effects, CINEMA 4D.
What you'll learn
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create organic ice growth and ice crystal patterns in any shape using After Effects and CINEMA 4D. We will cover how to create basic growth patterns using Trapcode Particular, and then how to use those as texture maps within CINEMA 4D as well as generate Thinking Particles for our ice crystals. By the end of this tutorial, you will clearly understand the professional workflow of how to create organic ice growth patterns you can use in your own projects. Software required: After Effects, CINEMA 4D.
