How to Single Out and Follow a Particle In Cinema 4D Without Xpresso

MorGraphCandy’s Dan Conrad shows how to make a camera follow a single particle from a standard particle emitter in Cinema 4D, showing a technique that does not require the help of Xpresso.

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, I will show you how to make a camera follow a single particle from a standard emitter

Dan covers a few things in this tutorial including a bit on the Emitters, Tracer Objects in Cinema 4D, the Motion Camera, and some dynamics, all coming together to create a path that the Motion Camera in Cinema 4d can follow.

Some simple dynamics fine tuning will ensure the particle doesn’t deviate from its intended path created by the Tracer. Check out the tutorial for Targeting a Particle From a Standard Emitter in Cinema 4D here.
