I am Sam. Hello. Although Cinema 4D is a visual editor and not much of an animating program I have been working hard on the entire animation aspect of the program. I created a simple little Rocketeer and made him go up, into space. Simple. I also gave his jet-pack a blast, which was the hard part.

Simple, armless legless man, with a very complex blast of sequence. each red piece is part of a sphere that was morphed by an element called an 'explosion.' the green 13 at the bottom of the screen indicates at what second this frame is shot at. The whole thing is called a timeline. The man does not start off like this. In frame 0 he is just standing there.

This is the camera that follows our rocketeer: The blue line you see is called a 'Spine' it is the trail that the camera takes to follow our hero on his space adventure. You can see from all these angles that the camera goes under and above and around the character. The orange squares on the blue line are little pit stops that the camera takes to make sure that it is following the spline correctly. They match up with the little blue squares on the bottom part of the timeline (note* now we are in frame 59)
