Some great sites that have C4D tools are c4dextensions.info and c4dtools.net. Make sure to let me know if you make a preset library so I can check it out! I’d love to help get the word out!
The Inheritance Effector is probably one of the most underrated and underutilized effectors in the effector menu. In part two of my Inheritance Effector tutorial, I show you how you can fake particle cloud movement that would normally only be achieved with an Emitter or Thinking Particles and Xpresso. Using a combination of the Inheritance Effector and other Mograph Effectors, you can achieve close to the same effect as Thinking Particles as a solution in your normal workflow without having to touch Xpresso.
If you are setting a lot of Object Buffers in Cinema 4D, Charles Rowland (@RagingClaw) has created Buffer Booster Just for that – it’s designed to save time by creating Object Buffers in Cinema 4D for all objects in a scene and inserts them into the multipass. Buffer Booster for Cinema 4D is available for the nominal cost of $10.00 on the newly designed & launched C4DTools.net here.

It’s a really nice technique if you have multiple spots that need different colors using the same render. If that situation comes up for you, this will save you tons of time!

from the tutorial description: We’ll be starting in Cinema 4d to create text fragments and use XPresso to export the Mograph positional data to After Effects. From there, we’ll jump over into After Effects and use expressions to connect 3d nulls to 2d data points… We’ll also be using a macro in Microsoft Word to edit multiple lines of expressions. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Cinema 4d user or strictly an After Effects user, today’s tutorial should be something helpful for everyone!

In the next tutorial I’ll show you how to bring those shadows into After Effects to composite. For more free training and resources check out:thepixellab.net
