  • In this tutorial, we'll build a Cinema 4D animation from scratch. After animating, we'll render it in After Effects using the Bodymovin extension, then import it into Webflow. Finally, we'll set up an interaction so the Cinema 4D animation responds to our mouse position.

    If when using bodymovin you keep getting "render failed" make sure you have "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network" checked in preferences.

  • @jakejakejakejakejakejake
    @jakejakejakejakejakejake Před 4 lety +1

    My Critique would be the drag and drop of the image sequence. This is going to blow your mind, Press Crtl (or command) + I to import, then select one image from the sequence and make sure 'image sequence box' is checked. Then it will import them all as one single asset, rather than a milllion separate assets. It'll essentially function like a video ^_^ X

    • @Webflow
      @Webflow  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi, Jake! A traditional image sequence like this isn't currently supported by the Bodymovin plugin; it will render blank. For this reason, individual layers for each frame are presently required to render the composition as a Lottie-compatible sequence.

    Bodymovin is not exporting the Jpeg Sequence, it keeps on rolling on image_90, and i have tried different settings, the .json file is not showing on webflow. It only export .json for shape layers only. Does the problem with the plugin?

  • @kosticivan3921

    Hello. I hope you are doing well. I ran into an issue that i tried to fix 2 times already. I've followed every step you did, and i have also original Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects, but when I use bodymovin to render it to .json, it says render failed. Could you help me with alternative solution, or do you maybe know what is causing the issue. Thank you for your time.

  • @HunterReynolds

    But can you add a y axis along with the x axis?? Seems like that’d require an actual simulation, but would you add this in the future?

    • @Webflow
      @Webflow  Před 4 lety

      Hi, Hunter! This would likely require a simulation. Instead of 90 JPEGs along 1 axis, this would require 90 JPEGs along each of 2 the axes for X and Y (90 x 90 = 8,100 JPEGs).

    • @lediozefi5784
      @lediozefi5784 Před 4 lety +1

      That would also impact performance quite badly on a web page though due to size, remember this was just a simple jpeg pre-render set at 40% quality.
      I think what you could do is however, create a 3D space in Webflow itself and then set distances on them and give the illusion of xy axes moving, it wouldn't look AS good as a proper simulation, especially not something you can create in the scale of hundreds of small stars, but I think it could work with a smaller idea that has 50-100 objects maximum. But would probably take a lot more time. Just a thought

    • @mpbMKE

    • @Webflow
      @Webflow  Před 4 lety +1

      This process works with all 2D or 3D animation tools that can render an image sequence (or that can render a video you can later convert to an image sequence). Check out 3ds Max, Blender, Lightwave - there are tons of great programs and platforms which should be able to do the trick!

  • @paulpierantozzi
    @paulpierantozzi Před 3 lety

    is there a reason you didn't just import the images as a jpg sequence?

    • @Webflow
      @Webflow  Před 3 lety

      Great question! Bodymovin.js doesn't presently support JPEG sequences, so each JPEG needs to be brought in as a separate image on stacked layers.

    Just use THREE.JS, instead of having to worry about load, performance, and quality.

    • @Webflow
      @Webflow  Před 3 lety +1

      Three.js is an excellent option, but an image sequence is often best for elements and effects that don’t render consistently or at all - lens flares, global illumination, subsurface scattering, photorealistic depth of field, etc.

    I was really excited for this until you realize that the client will be requesting 100's of image frames on page load, which has the potential to heavily increase site TTI (time till interactive) and negatively impact SEO as a result. This is a great idea, but terrible in practice. Please do not use this method in production environments!
