Cinema 4D

And when I saw that, it immediately clicked.

Because this means out of the 85,000 companies that they're tracking in the US, and these are big companies, two small companies, they're now setting aside a budget for their employees to use a tool like Higgs field, which means if traditionally they'd spend that money with Adobe and Canva and Blender, a Blender is free, and Cinema 4D, they're just like, okay, you know what? We'll just get Higgs field accounts for our guys and they can create images and videos and so on and so forth.

That is important for you to know because if you're serving these companies, you know the kind of tools they're using.

Or if you're making a company for yourself or you're a freelancer, you know what the top companies are using.

And his kind of claim to fame is he minted, he's one of the most prolific VFX artists.

So what that is, is basically it stands for visual effects, use a piece of software called Cinema 4D.

And that's, it's kind of like Photoshop-ish, but you create all these 3D graphics with different models like figurines, heads.

You can see in the screenshot in the bottom right corner of the photo of him in the process of creating a piece of artwork.

So, yeah, my contribution, I guess, you know, we all kind of conceived and talked about how we would deal with the kind of themes and concepts that work.

But, yeah, my kind of main two contributions was, yeah, this 3D animation element that I made on a program called Cinema 4D.

And it's...

It was also made with a dancer that I worked with, and I'm sure you saw some of the...

Like, oh, to me, that's that's what's going to happen in our industry is that there are way too many.

It used to be OK just to know After Effects and Cinema 4D.

And that was I have this feeling or this kind of like every creative industry starts up here and it's called special.

And then it turns into services.

Whatever.

The most complicated app I work with would be Cinema 4D.

And the contextual menus you have and being able to scroll left and right on the mouse, on the Magic Mouse, up and down.

Yeah.

so i just want to give it a 3d effect because you know 3d is cool and what why not um now i want to make sure that i have the image of a company here so i'm going to go back to envato elements i've actually already downloaded something from elements let me see if it's there yep found it so this is on this data I'm gonna copy this I'm gonna bring it over to Photoshop pixels that's right what I want to do is I want to map this directly onto this so I'm gonna use the distort tool again this is possibly one of the worst ways to do 3d in Photoshop but I I don't have options.

I don't want to go through Cinema 4D, which is another tool.

Four tools is confusing as it is for somebody in the audience looking at this.

So let's just zoom in, make sure we're aligned with this.

Again, working on cinematic animation, working on a Hollywood film, a short film, working on a video game, working on anything that requires complex animation.

You now can solve your problems using a simple computer use with ChatGPT Codecs while connecting it to your favorite tool, whether it's Blender, Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D.

It's insane to me that this problem is now solved.

It's been a year now?

I would show those guys this in January of 2024.

These were made in Blender and Cinema 4D, but they look ridiculously lifelike to me.

If 14% of researchers don't think that deepfakes will be at least a concern, I don't know what to say to them.

And the vast majority of respondents, 70%, thought that AI safety research should be prioritized more than it currently is.

And what is it now? Two weeks ago, a very big moment happened.

The Cinema 4D MCP dropped.

And I feel like there's been, of course, even more talk about AI and where that is in our ecosystem and in our lives and where it fits in as a tool and where it doesn't fit in.

And what does it all mean? And are we all gone? Like, there's so many topics here that I figured we're just going to flip this camera on and we're just going to try to talk about.

It really blew my mind.

It was like, oh, wow, like this is a multiplier, not only just in just basic organization and keeping your life straight, but also in terms of 3D.

Now, specifically with the Cinema 4D MCP, it's just like,

whoa like
