[Ehe Ugalde]

The thin is,am to do a short animated video tutorial on the topic: disk space management system with application in nanotechnology.
The first part of the tutorial is to start with a little introduction on what a hard disk is.Dts wer d animation of the hard disk comes in.First of all,d hard disk is to be shown,then it will be shown as an open hard disk showing its parts.The parts do not need to be labeled.The animated hard disk will b spinning.For nw,dts jst d first part of the tutorial.I nid 2 do it first b4 goin on wit d rest.I rili nid help.

In real life it’s not very easy to tell the hard disk itself is spinning. They are very smooth and reflective. Obviously you can tell on the spindle part. To get them to spin, animate the rotation. The help files that install with Cinema 4D have tutorials for basic animation like that.

One thing I think is important for a beginner, when asking professionals for help with general and basic uses of a program, is to use real language. After taking a second to decode “Dts wer d” (It’s where the), I certainly did not feel a compelling urge to help you. The internet/text slang you type in is irritating and I would not be surprised if someone who has answers for you skipped this thread because of sentences like those quoted below.

[Kosy Frances] “Dts wer d animation of the…”

[Kosy Frances] “For nw,dts jst d first part of the tutorial.I nid 2 do it first b4 goin on wit d rest.I rili nid help.”

Sorry, I can’t help with the animation but take my advice and you may be more likely to get the help you need.

Thanks very much for the answers and for the advise.I just re-posted the question in simple English.No more internet slang for me.
