Heads up displays, or HUDs are a big trend in many syfy movies, and over the years, these little abstract widgets have been popping up in a lot of motion graphics, as well. In this week's video, I'm going to show you how you can procedurally build these HUD elements inside of Cinema 4D, and set them up in a way where you'll be able to quickly iterate many looks with a single click of a button.
