Improving

Since introducing Cinema 4D into my workflow (finally!), I'm looking into recent or past projects that could probably benefit from some real 3D. In the Comcast promo video there is a sharp contrast between the videos I rendered in C4D and those done in AE, at least to me.

Here is a video cube that was done in AE (top) several weeks ago, and then was redone in C4D (below). It was a little tricky getting the videos into the textures, turns out C4D is very particular about the kinds of videos that you can use.



This was an attempt to create a galaxy zoom-out animation to zoom out from the Earth to view the entire galaxy as a whole. I had a very frustrating problem in AE getting my high-res planetary textures to show up properly in high-res (top) but it never panned out. In C4D it was many times easier putting a much better looking planet Earth (bottom)
