What are the methods for C4D to make path trajectory animation?
The modules of C4D include modeling, animation, rendering [web rendering], characters, particles and new illustrations, etc., which are very comprehensive and provide a complete 3D creation platform for everyone. And friends who are familiar with C4D or are learning C4D should know that in C4D, you can make path trajectory animation! But what many friends don't know is that there are actually many ways to make C4D path trajectory animation. Here we will share some for you. If you are interested, learn to master them! The method of C4D animation of path trajectory is shared: 1, and the alignment curve only needs a moving model object and a set spline. When making path animation, the current object and its children will be regarded as a set. Therefore, if you want to make an animation of multiple objects moving through in turn, you need to stagger these objects. When the tangent is checked, the object will rotate according to the direction of the line. Here, you can set an axial direction as the rotation axis. After setting an axial direction, you can only rotate the plane perpendicular to the axial direction. 2. Motion curve animation is usually made by using key frames. When we make a simple position change animation through key frames, the motion path will be generated in the view. We can call up the moving handle of the object and operate it, or adjust the shape of the curve or the speed of movement to make the path trajectory animation. If we don't want to change an axis, we can delete the key frame of this axis or reset its axial curve. 3. Spline Effector This method needs to set splines and can only be used for motion graphics. Using split objects, you can turn multiple model objects into moving graphics, and then use this method to make path animation. This method is very useful when making font animation. 4. Spline constraint To use this method, you need splines first. By using splines to constrain the deformer object, the object can move along the set path. After creating the motion path and the object that needs to move along the path, the object and the spline constrained object are placed at the same level, and the key frames are set, so that the animation of the object moving along the path can be made. Using this method, multiple objects can be set to move at the same time, because the deformer object can affect the whole level, so other objects can be added to participate in the animation. The disadvantage is that the deformer object will produce extrusion deformation on the object, which can be solved by adjusting the proportion. You can also adjust the rotation, size, etc. in the line constraint to make various animation details. Above, we have shared four methods for C4D to make path trajectory animation. How many have you learned so far? Xiaobian here hopes that everyone will read more and learn more repeatedly, and strive to master these methods quickly! Finally, learn more C4D skills, and go!
