Create Pixel Art in C4D Using a Cloner, Shader Effector and Xpresso

Mustapha Fersaoui offers a quick tip for how you can create pixel art in C4D from any image, using a shader effector, cloner object, and a simple Xpresso set up. The set up basically divides the image into squares and places them on each clone. This can provide a pretty interesting effect when animation and dynamics are applied.

This is a simple demonstration based on Mustapha Fersaoui’s Volume Pixel Generator Tools for Cinema 4D which include a volume pixel generator, image mosaic generator, textel generator and a matrix effect generator as part of a suite of C4D Tools available for purchase.

The Volume Pixel Generator Tools for Cinema 4D allow you to convert any image, video or text into volume pixels which can support dynamics, effectors and forces. The Volume Pixel Generator Tools consist of:

  • Volume Pixel Generator: Quicker and easier this tool allows you to generate volume pixel from an image or video.
  • Image Mosaic Generator: This tool enables you to create amazing mosaics from your digital pictures in a very easy way.
  • Texel Generator: Converts a text to volume pixel.
  • Matrix text Effect Generator: Convert quickly an image or video to matrix text effect or any text effect using customizable text characters.
