(upbeat music) - [Voiceover] Hey guys. My name's Ben Watts. I'm a 3D artist and motion designer from Australia. Welcome to Turbulence FD for Cinema 4D Essential Training. Having the skills to create believable smoke and fire is crucial for any aspiring VFX artist. In this course, I'll be showing you how to quickly and easily create these effects inside of Cinema 4D using Jawset's Turbulence FD plugin. We'll start by learning how this plugin works from the ground up. Once we've got the fundamentals covered, I'll be moving on to some practical and fun examples.
By the end of this course, you'll be confident using Turbulence FD and creating your own awesome smoke and fire effects. Now let's fire up Cinema 4D and get started.
