Join EJ Hassenfratz for an in-depth discussion in this video Setting up object buffers, adding multipasses, and rendering, part of Mograph Techniques: Creating a Bouncy Cartoon Logo in Cinema 4D.
- Now to start prepping our scene for render.…The first thing we'll want to take care of…is configuring all of our multi-pass settings…and adding an object buffer.…So let's go up to our Render settings here.…And we'll go to our Multi-pass, make sure we check that on.…And then we can start adding all of our different passes…that we want to composite later in After Effects.…So I like to have all of my different passes,…like Diffuse, Specular, Shadow,…so I can recreate the image in After Effects…and adjust the amount of Specular or adjust the amount…of Shadow in my composition in After Effects.…
So I want to set this up so I only need to…render once out of CINEMA 4D.…So what I'm going to do is go to Add Image Layers,…and this is going to give us every single pass…that you could possibly render out of your image here.…And we don't need half of these,…so I'm just going to go and just…delete the ones we don't need.…Don't need any of these.…We do need Ambient Occlusion because we have…our separate Ambient Occlusion applied to our scene.…

3/19/2015Author EJ Hassenfratz uses CINEMA 4D to extrude 3D text from Illustrator letterforms and animate the letters individually utilizing the very versatile Jiggle deformer, which applies fun, unique movements to each one. Then he adds bright, cheerful textures and lighting to the scene, and composites the final effect in After Effects, incorporating some finishing touches that will make your logo seem even more playful and expressive.
