3DBonfire shows how to make and animate an inflated effect using the new cloth engine in Maxon Cinema 4D.

In many ways, the new cloth engine in Cinema 4D allows for a more reliable workflow and ease of use. This latest tutorial from 3DBonfire (Markus Gonser) shows how to make an inflate effect animation in Cinema 4D that uses cloth.

Maxon added a unified dynamics system to the latest C4D. In many cases, things like cloth, fluids, and more became more manageable.

Check out this other tutorial from Gonser that shows how to use Vertex Maps to transition between simulation materials in a cloth animation, like turning an object from rubber to a gel material and back again.
