Mographplus - Advanced 3d motion graphics in Cinema 4d and Realflow

This is another one of our project-based tutorial series in which we take one motion graphic design and show you how to create that motion graphic from scratch .
In this course we recreate this very nice and professional 3d motion graphic :http://player.vimeo.com/video/79971180
We start off by importing our logo from illustrator to Cinema 4d , in Cinema 4d we create our 3d logo and Export it to Realflow so we can start our fluid simulation inside RealFlow , after the simulation is done we start the meshing process in which we generate meshes from our particles , than we import the whole fluid simulation back into Cinema 4d and start preparing our scene for final render .
The lighting is one of the most challenging parts of this tutorial ,  when you deal with refractive and reflective surfaces , you should pay special attention to your lighting , I show you how to create your own simple and highly effective lighting rigs and how to create awesome reflections using those  lights , so that’s why  we will be able to achieve breath-taking renders without having to use global illumination .
Than we will go through the process of preparing our scene for final renders , we learn how to setup our cameras and how to setup depth of field and other passes , we talk about render setting and what your are required to do before going for the final render .
I also talk about the process of complete multi-pass rendering in cinema 4d and fter effects , in this process we combine different passes like reflection , refraction , shadows , diffuse … etc , to achieve our final render , this way we will have complete control over our render even after the render is finished .
