In this series of lessons we will cover the fundamentals of 3D Simulation to help you gain a basic understanding of the tools and techniques used in the industry.

Part 01: Introduction to 3D Simulation Techniques

Overview of the Mograph cloners, random effector, rigid body tag, collider body tag, friction and bounce settings

Experimentation with parametric primitives and various geometry for different dynamic effects

Splines, lathe nurbs, rigid body tag, collider body tag, friction and bounce settings

Create a vase being filled with spheres

Using an emitter with a rigid body sphere to start a simulation

Work with the initial linear velocity

Overview of the random, formula, push apart and step effectors

Use of spherical, cylindrical, cone, linear, radial fields and falloff settings

Part 02: Domino’s Project

Model the domino’s with splines and extrude nurbs

Use domino images from the asset browser to texture the model

Use the selection field to apply materials to the front, back and side of dominos

Use of the MoGraph Cloner in object mode in conjunction with a spline to duplicate the dominos along a path

Adjust the cloner’s distribution settings for evenly spaced dominos

Use rigid body and collider body tags to set-up the simulation

Use and emitter to create the initial impact by setting the initial linear velocity for domino’s to fall

Refine bounce, friction and rigid body settings

Define final output render settings to complete the animation

Part 03: Maze Project

Model the 3D environment and add a collider body tag

Create a sphere inside a cloner and assign a rigid body tag to start the simulation

Model the maze geometry using parametric primitives

Create shelves, front and add collider body tags

Adjust the maze geometry to control the simulation

Duplicate the sphere cloner to add additional animation to the scene

Create sides to the maze to prevent spheres from falling outside of it’s borders

Use the display tag to hide geometry in the perspective view

Apply procedural Cinema 4D materials to the maze and spheres

Use gradients on the spheres and refine their parameters for added visual interest

Create a camera animation to follow the simulated sphere movement

Define render settings for final output

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
