I had a lot of fun creating this project for a friend's performance. It is based on the greek play by Sophocles titled "Antigone". Original music composition by my buddy : @tedregklis #cinema4d #Houdini #octanerender #artdirection

haha so true!

On another note, more stuff at Patreon this month. #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection #abstract

Spline dynamics and more to come in my Patreon :)

A small stress test in Xparticles after today's work. Have a good night :)

After many months of rnd and work as part of the art direction/motion design team at Apple, excited to share the reveal for the new Macbook Pro. Congrats to everyone involved!

And a quick render with #octane in #cinema4d

Pyro is fun, but procedural point selections on splines is my cup of tea :) One of the most important updates of 2023.1 imo #cinema4d #notPyro

This one is very dear to me. "Mamba Out" A @kobebryant tribute. Featured on @makersplaceco as we speak: makersplace.com/motionpunk/m… #NFT #BlackMamba #NBA #Cryptoart #KobeBryant

Xparticles and some manual keyframing, lead to this semi procedural rig. Not bad for a single click solution. #insydium #xparticles #Octane #cinema4d

Besides NFT and client work, I also do tutorials about 3D and motion design. Here is a small reel breaking down my "Mamba Out" project. You can find more info and a lot other tuts at patreon.com/motionpunk #tutorials #Patreon #cinema4d #xparticles #octanerender

5 years of Patreon! Time flies and im not getting any younger! Thank you all for the support throughout the years, means the word to me! #cinema4d #octanerender #xparticles #tutorials #patreon

And wrapping up with this years explorations for Patreon, this is a new series where I will try recreate Houdini jobs in Cinema4d from studios like FutureDeluxe, Buck, onandon among others! patreon.com/motionpunk #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection

Some of the explorations I did for the new Alienware laptop by DELL. With the awesome people at Framestore US. #cinema4d #octanerender #scifi #alienware #xparticles @insydium_ltd

This month on my Patreon, breakdown of a commercial project I did for DELL Alienware with Framestore last year. patreon.com/motionpunk #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection

Haven't posted anything for a good while, as I am super busy with work among other stuff. So I decided to put together a styleframe reel with a variety of commercial and personal work. Let me know what you think! #cinema4d #octane #xparticles #houdini #artdirection #motiondesign

A simple rig I made for Doordash! Download it and have fun! dropbox.com/s/fw7lfbbrkbtn0z… #cinema4d #typography #free #tutorial

As much as I 'd love to say this is c4d cloth.. this is a 30 sec sim in vellum :) #sidefx #houdini #vellum #cloth #simulation

All about flowers Taiao/Forester/mograph/rendering is wrapping up this month in Patreon. Learn how to procedurally model/animate/manipulate many instances/light and render realistic flowers. patreon.com/motionpunk #cinema4d #octane #xparticles

Had the great pleasure to assist the awesome folks at TheMill US once again, to develop a series of frames for the new Google Pixel 7 products. #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection #googlepixel

More GooglePixel 7 styleframes. #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection #googlepixel

Some more cloth in s26. Turbulence is broken here in all modes, in both gpu/cpu. Other than cloth is working nicely. #maxon #cinema4d #s26 #simulation

One of many setups/rnd I did for the latest Beats cables. You can see the full clip here: instagram.com/p/DIg9lC1RrNK/

Always happy to collaborate with the awesome people at ManvsMachine for Logitech's new gaming mouse G502X. More frames/rnd will follow. Check full video here: piped.video/yLzoMJjvcT8 #cinema4d #octanerender #houdini #artdirection

Oooff this is so beautiful

Happy autumn with new patreon stuff patreon.com/motionpunk #Patreon #tutorials #cinema4d #Octanerender

Octane 2021.1 is out! Took it for a spin with some shader stuff :) @OTOY #octane #cinema4d

A small break from my lovely H sessions for @CampMograph titles. This is my small contribution to this amazing collaboration. Patreon breakdown coming very soon! #cinema4d #xparticles #artdirection

Probably twitter is gonna kill it with the compression but oh well. Revisiting some Logi rnd setups for upcoming Patreon stuff :) #cinema4d #advection #mograph

S26 and Houdini explorations with Octane on my Patreon : patreon.com/motionpunk

After waiting on other sites forever I decided to get going in foundation. “Ma(d)chines 01” is up for sale on @withFND A unique 1/5 pieces to complete this small series. foundation.app/motionpunk/ma…

Fun days when everyone thought that NFTs were "the thing". I might continue this series. I so enjoy creating busy, silly, surreal, little worlds. #cinema4d #octanerender #tfd

Insomnia. #cinema4D #octane #artdirection

A bunch of frames for Microsoft during design exploration phase.

More flowers with @insydium_ltd 's X-particles. #cinema4d #octanerender #xparticles #Flowers

As promised a full breakdown + more stuff in my Patreon this month! Lots of explorations that did not work, particles, lighting and more! Enjoy! #cinema4d #xparticles #worldcreator #artdirection #tutorial

After quite some time of recordings in between jobs, I managed to put together this 7 hour Octane course. This is how I personally use Octane render in daily workflows and production. motionpunk-courses.com/p/oct… #octanerender #courses #tutorials

And one last post about Logi project. I hope twitter (doesnt die for starters) and that doesn't ruin the quality much :) #cinema4d #octane #xparticles

Testing pyro in c4d. #cinema4d #PYRO #advection

More stuff for Google Pixel 7 #cinema4d #houdini #octanerender #artdirection

Yes, 3D is difficult! That was my perception with 3dsmax: that its normal to crash every 20 minutes, that corrupted scenes was part of the "process", that scattering is impossible without plugins. This makes new people's journey into motion design intimidating. But I can assure you: things should not be like this. When software gives you inconsistency all the time, it is not normal. I do not understand why Maxon refuses to listen to users. I do not understand why there are no daily builds with urgent hotfixes. Is Maxon aware of the friction that comes between clients and us, not because of our skillset or laziness, but because of fundamental software issues? I ve been one of biggest advocates for C4D since 2017, and been doing work that others thought it was done in Houdini. I ve been using it in all ways possible, paying for every plugin/script/utility that would help me do things that were supposed to be done within the software in the first place. Many others are pushing boundaries on what the software is capable of. But at what expense at this point? New users do not understand why things do not work, advanced users do not understand why things are not fixed. I took a break from today's work just to rant.. realising that part of me being an art director, is not only cause I love design but also cause I do not want to deal with these production problems anymore.

Throwback from almost a decade ago, when besides everything else, had a lot of love for keyframes. I was always thinking to create an animation course oriented to motion designers. Would be interested in this topic? #3danimation #octanerender #keyframes

And here is some animation RND for Doordash #cinema4d #octanerender #Houdini #food #artdirection

Compression ftw! At least new xp update is awesome!!

Rnd for a personal project that never made it :) #maxon #cinema4d #otoy #octanerender #megascans

Patreon xparticle stuff. Inspired by @RettleSnake and ofc Dune :) #cinema4d #xparticles #octane #artdirection #dune #sand

Wanna know everything about using Octane in production? Stability, ease of use without sacrificing quality. Fundamentals and updates till latest stable 2025. Check out my updated course at motionpunk-courses.com/p/oct… #cinema4d #octanerender #otoy #rendering #artdirection

Rnd for upcoming patreon tutorial. Procedural animated feathers in c4d/octane. Inspired by ManvsMachine rnd. #cinema4d #octanerender #feathers #artdirection

I made this image around 2017. That is straight out of Octane just with camera effects. No post process, no modelling, just kitbashing items. Nothing wrong with skipping the pipelines over results. In fact I encourage you to it! #octane #cinema4d

Maxon price raise comes on a very bad timing. Industry has been at decline for a very long time. How about supporting small businesses/individuals with indie licenses / 2 seat licenses?

4 years ago I started this journey and honestly I would never believe it would change my life. Much appreciate the support and the love you showed me all those years. Thank you all! Patreon content: motion-punk.com/patreon #tutorials #cinema4d #octane #xparticles #artdirection

This. Probably the best 3d animation I ve seen. Ever.

Pushing c4d by recreating various production shots. This one is from FutureDeluxe amazing piece for Bang & Olufsen instagram.com/p/Ch9vtTJJU6-/ I didn't work in this project :) Cloth is near 500k polygons and cache took about 4 minutes on a 3090. #cinema4d #octanerender

I have no words, these are 4k clones / triggering keyframes / 136.000.000 polys. I did the math many times to be sure lol Idk what kind of sorcery is this but also i made over 1b polys with cloner object (instances) on another scene, with 2-3 fps performance. GG @MaxonVFX

A quick test with new Nexus xp fluids #cinema4d #xparticles #octane #particles

Soon, a breakdown of a gig I did long time ago with the awesome folks at MvsM #cinema4d #octanerender

Patreon RND #cinema4d #octane

After many months breakdown of a personal project of mine is available on my Patreon. Project files & tutorials for Cinema4D and Houdini and rendered with Octane. Procedural setups, easy for beginners and art direction breakdown. #cinema4d #Houdini #tutorials #artdirection

Happy holidays everyone!! #c4d #maxon #octanerender #xparicles #insydium

Happy Friday! Breakdown of this beer is complete and live on my Patreon. Feel free to check out the process including, Xparticles, native c4d particles and Octane render. #cinema4d #xparticles #octanerender #artdirection

Not everyone is meant to be a creative, neither should be. Thanks to AI tools that showcase this very clearly. Merry xmas!

Landscape series I ve been working on last 1-2 months on my Patreon. We discuss about abstract landscape workflows from terrains to scattering techniques and rendering with a sprinkle of particles/dynamics on top. #cinema4d #xparticles #octanerender #tutorials

Last part of "Mograph Camp" explorations with heavy focus on Octane render is now on Patreon. Check that out! (link on my profile) #cinema4d #octanerender #tutorial #artdirection

Houdini practice whenever possible. I hate other softwares now.. #sidefx #houdini #vellum

Random frames from 2022. I had the honour to work for Google, Logitech, Apple, Doordash among other brands. What do you wish to do different next year? #cinema4d #octanerender #xparticles #houdini

Design explorations for Paramount+ projected on Las Vegas sphere with nathanielhowe.com/ Did not make the cut, but was cool to play with the "plus" sign on some abstract themes. #cinema4d #octanerender #xparticles #artdirection

More explorations for G502X Logitech. Working on projects like this means a lot of frames/variations. Some more, some less successful. #cinema4d #octane #xparticles #artdirection

Since yesterday I am trying to fight a copyright infringement that happened from @EliteEdgeTV on behalf of @celtics They ripped off my project "Mamba out" (motion-punk.com/Mamba-out) and sold it for millions to their client. Attaching few screens from their video.

Evening fun with vellum grains. #Houdini #octanerender #grains #vellum

I wonder why some individuals steal my project files from Patreon and copy paste my tutorials in youtube etc. They probably think they are smart, but reputation in our community/industry goes a long way. Appreciate the rest of you that genuinely support me. Cheers.

OTOY's Render Network is hands down the best render farm out there. Check it out if deadlines are approaching! #octane #redshift #otoy #maxon

Learning new tricks :)

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on aesthetics: is it something we are born with and develop over time, or does it emerge through years of practice and experimentation?

To whom it may concern: Stop sending me projects that need 20 people and expect me to do them alone with freelance budget and in 2 weeks. LOL

Maybe this one? #cinema4d #octane #neon #artdirection

Finally found a moment to update you with what has been cooking in Patreon for the last month. Procedural neon lights both in Cinema4D and Houdini. Check out the link on my bio! #cinema4d #tutorials #artdirection #octane #houdini

I am tired of drama but I am also tired of people stealing bluntly my work, never crediting me, pretending they made stuff that I did just for educational purposes.. Today CG shortcuts recreated 1:1 a tut of mine and then i discovered this guy here... Stealing all animation intro we did for Logitech at Manv and then my patreon files as they are... And he gave an interview on Insydium about it... Here are some links... And then we are wondering what is wrong with this industry... insydium.ltd/news/case-studi… instagram.com/p/C7whdTVtd0P/ instagram.com/p/DBOlkdwMz2J/

There is no art without process. Process is essential to shape one's character, to learn from failures, to do mistakes. There is no linear path or shortcut to any type of success. AI image generators, eliminate any process. It cannot do mistakes (besides 6 fingers in hands lol). It cannot teach you any craftsmanship or skill. And it cannot teach you any soft skill either. You know the ones that get you very far in life? Like being humble, modest, question authority, collaborate. Cause AI doesn't fail the way humans do. It iterates. And it doesn't even iterate on your ideas: it mashes up someone else's thoughts, giving you a false sense of achievement and ownership. Ideas matter in a theory-crafted universe, in philosophy, but not in art. Ideas are not enough. One needs to be able to interpret them via a unique scope and personal experiences. AI self-claiming "artists" reminds me of Linkedin where everyone is a CEO. AI image generating is not about making art. Is about avoiding making art. Have a great weekend!

Thanks to all the participants to my 3 year Patreon contest! I am having hard time to choose here but winners will be announced soon! Thanks a lot to @OTOY and @insydium_ltd for sponsoring this! #cinema4d #octanerender #xparticles

Happy Friday! #cinema4d #octanerender #tutorials #artdirection #neon #gradients

Unlocking all capsules in Cinema4D you need MaxonOne subscription. Which means a professional that only needs c4d, needs to pay double the money for the software to fully function. Really frustrated, everyone is looking to grab a few more $ out of everything these days

Flower stuff is so much fun! It's an endless subject actually #octanerender @OTOY #cinema4d #flowers #ProceduralArt #artdirection

now that's the type of AI I wanna see

Create fully procedural plants without any plugins and with 100% control. Check out my patreon for more tricks! #cinema4d #flowers #artdirection #tutorials

I managed to put together some Houdini series based on my Cinema4D knowledge. This is for absolute beginners and is super boring lol but it might give you the very essentials before you dive deeper into the rabbit hole :) piped.video/SFCxH67ul_4 #sidefx #houdini #cinema4d

Happy month! Some of the styleframes I did for Doordash with the awesome folks at TheMill US. Along with my favorite CD @Donnie_Bauer #cinema4d #octanerender #artdirection #food #doordash

That sums up my pov about AI.

Back to c4d :) some rnd for upcoming patreon stuff. #cinema4d

Patreon cloth rnd. #cinema4d #octanerender #cloth #artdirection

While I am trying to record Houdini stuff, meanwhile feel free to check out procedural growths in c4d in my latest patreon explorations. Enjoy your weekend! #cinema4d #mograph #vdb #patreon #tutorial

lol this escalated quickly

Expanding the previous setup. Check out my Patreon for more info #cinema4d #artdirection #octanerender

New c4d supports fields in cloth, although not fully just yet but a rough example of whats possible for those who haven't been up to date. #cinema4d #s26 #cloth
