Illuminating Decay

Cinema 4D/After Effects/Red Giant

For my “Illuminating Decay” series, I focused more on abstract 3D work that allows viewers to become lost in details and shapes. With the help of Learn Squared, I practiced procedural modeling using deformers, cloners and x-particles to develop the base model, then I refined the excellent details with my compositional choices. Next, I dove into the vast capabilities of compositing in After Effects by building texture maps, maximizing my usage of multi-passes, and using powerful plugins from the Trapcode and Magic Bullet Suite.
