Please note: Capturing body motion is a relatively new feature of Apple's ARKit 3, so capturing clean full figure motion requires some preparation and finesse. Once you've imported the capture data into Cinema 4D - a simple and intuitive process - you can adjust the data there and transfer it to a 3D figure that performs your very own moves.
So, you can evaluate the recording of your moves.
The videos are recorded in the Moves by Maxon app with your iPhone or iPad camera, Apple ARKit 3 analyzes the movements and transfers them to a 3D "skeleton" that is superimposed on the video. Thanks to Apple's ARKit 3, it is now possible to record entire body movements as well. Want to learn how? Check out our tutorials on Body Motion Capture The movements of your facial expressions are precisely detected and can be used to create impressive facial animations in Cinema 4D without any previous knowledge. The app uses the capture data to generate a moving 3D model in real time, which you can then transfer to 3D geometry in Cinema 4D. It's as easy as recording a selfie video. With Face Capture, you can capture facial expressions with iPad or iPhone. Note - Object capture requires iOS 15 and is only supported by Cinema 4D R25 SP1 and later running on macOS Monterey. Then connect to Cinema 4D with the live connection, import the images and watch the magic happen!įor best results, start practising with simple objects such as a small stuffed toy or desktop sculpture. Moves by Maxon will let you know when there are enough images. Start taking snapshots and the on-screen tool shows a record of where you have snapped. Photogrammetry based object capture couldn't be easier! Place the object you want to import in a well lit spot where it can be photographed from all angles. Whether you want to bring your facial expressions, best dance moves or a model of your favourite teddy bear into the world of 3D, Moves by Maxon is the perfect app. With Moves by Maxon for iPhone and iPad you can capture facial and full-body movement or scan 3D objects and then bring them into 3D space in Cinema 4D. You will also need to increase the hypernurb levels to get good results, and then the render time jumps exponentially, but it looks even cooler.Moves by Maxon is available on the iOS AppStore for all iPhones and iPads running iOS 14.5 and later. I tried to paste it into a bump channel but the detail was too fine and the results were less than desirable.
I did this effect for the thumbnail image. This one gets fairly complex with layer stacks and masks, so you might want to get out your notepads and hover over the pause button.Īlso worth mentioning it was too involved for the length of the tutorial, but you can try to copy and paste the blood vessel channel into the displacement channel of the material editor and add sub-poly displacement so the veins bulge off the surface of the sclera. In this intermediate/advanced tutorial I walk you through the steps of building and texturing a floating eyeball in Cinema 4D r14 Studio using nothing but lighting and textures created entirely within C4D with zero plugins. Pixar’s "Monsters University" is coming to theaters this month and everyone has giant eyeballs on their minds.
