Jonas Pilz shows how to make a curl noise effect in Cinema 4D with particles and field forces.

Curl Noise, while rooted in math, is incredibly artistic. It’s one of those visually distinctive effects that inspire artists to find ways to use them at work. There are a few ways to create the curl noise effect in C4D, with the latest version you can use Field Forces.

Check out this new quick tip tutorial from Maxon’s Jonas Pilz that shows all the steps to create a Curl Noise Effect in C4D R21. The tutorial uses a Curl Noise Vector Volume and a Field Force object to make particles follow the curves of the curl. In the end, he traces the particles to get nice Curl Noise splines.
