Render Ready Al Heck with a tutorial on creating the old “Abyss” tentacle in Cinema 4D, and Adobe After Effects.
Tutorial 2 – The Abyss – Part 1 from Al Heck on Vimeo.
This tutorial was inspired by the movie “The Abyss”. In part 1, I’ll show you how to create your abyss tentacle and how to make it move along a spline. You’ll also learn about the displace deformer and the morph tag in C4D.
Tutorial 2 – The Abyss – Part 2 from Al Heck on Vimeo.
This tutorial shows how to complete the Abyss tentacle. Watch as I take the RPF sequence into After Effects, combine it with some greenscreen footage, and then use techniques like keying, color correcting and adding a fake motion from a camera to complete the scene. Learn about keylight, adjustment layers, curves, tritones and many more helpful tips.
