of moving and rotating

objects in cinema 4d so as you can see

on the screen here I've already got Cinema 4D loaded up

so all I'm gonna do

is add a sphere or a ball, I'll put it over there because were going to have lots going on

so I've added the ball and basically were

start off by learning how to animate rotate an object

which is really straightforward, as you can see down here you got

a time frame, so the animation

is 90 frames at the moment so let's increase that

to say, lets make it 120

so..... as you can see

down here were now got 120 frames to play with

vs 90 we had before. So let's

go ahead and rotate this objects so

as you can see keyframe 0 I'm gonna

add a keyframe here which is basically adding the record

and it's added it down here...

which is a little blue block, so I'm gonna

take it up all the way to 120 frames. I'm then gonna tell.... err

you can do this manually by doing that up

rotating it if you

wanna do that.... But I like to work in

exact measurements or rotations degrees

so let's enter 360 here click Apply

and then were going to end the key frame or end the key frame

and hopefully the object should turn when I move here and yes it does

so basically what Cinema 4D has done

it's said between 0 and 120 frames

I must rotate this object 360 degrees

so... give or take... well

120 frames so...

every frame will rotating the ball

exactly three degrees, so 3 times 120

is 360 degrees so,

there's that and lets make it bit a more complicated now. Let's add

a square, lets make that smaller too just for

this video. So we got a tiny little square there

and basically what we wanna do is rotate that as well, so

as you notice down here were no longer got any

keyframes this is because it works

independently you can do it too group or you can do it to an

object. So in this case the sphere has got it but the

square has not got it yet, so If I click play

the ball turns.... its very hard to see

I actually did make a material

to make it a bit easier to see that without

having it clicked. So If I click play

you can see that is rotating and the cube is doing nothing

so let's get that cube doing something, so

we click the cube and basically what I'm going to do

you don't, you can start the recording process in any frame so if you

wanted at thirty frames if your doing an intro

and you want your logo to come onto the screen

or you know you want it to be a blank screen for 30 err

5 seconds before your

logo comes in then you would start your logo at

an higher key frame meaning you don't

to do any extra editing in any other

extra software, Song Vegas or anything like that

so... lets get it rotating at 30, so

I've got my cube, I've got it on 30 frames

I'm gonna introduce a key frame and I'm gonna say

take it all the way up to 120 but this time I'm gonna put the rotation

in the middle so, so what that does is it will rotate it differently

than what we had before. So I've rotated that I'm gonna put the keyframe

and hopefully that starts to rotate

clockwise. So as you can see the ball rotates as well

but as you notice when we get there

it stops so if I go down to zero and

I push play we got our sphere moving and then

and then our cube moves afterwards

so let's stop that

err give that a nice blue. So let's

add another object now, because I did say that we would be looking

at moving objects so lets

make this 75 and 50 doesn't matter

and 70 that will do... so let's move that

here and basically we wanna get this object moving

so let's put that up here

so key frame zero

so add a key frame and let's go all the way to key frame 120 but

but lets move this down to here and end the key frame

so what should happen is it should go up and down

and there we go

and that basically ends our tutorial um

it's very simple um but I hope it helps someone

thanks very much bye bye
