THE CHALLENGE

Here is a look at my process and workflow using Cinema 4D and Octane. Shading and texturing is fun place time to be in once you reach that stage. This is truly the first time you see and visualize your work taking color and coming to life. Rendering is perhaps the most gratifying portion of animation and 3D design. It's also at times the most grueling. Each render is dependent upon the scene's complexity and can take up huge chunks of time. For this project I utilized Octane as my render engine.

UNDER THE HOOD: CINEMA 4D

Cinema 4D and X-Particles were key to building the procedural simulation pipeline, enabling the creation of animated DNA strands, atoms, and particle systems. Take a closer look at the techniques and workflow behind the final sequence.
