    i am very drawn to these projects. Can you give an idea of workflow. Or possibly put me in contact with someone that can. I kinda have one. But i want to make sure there is not one that works smoother. I seem to see the part that are created in cinema 4d. Like the block movement and the spotlights. The Line movement that runs along the edge of the windows in a rapid movement seem to be created in after effects from what knowledge i know of the program. But there is a camera shot of the laptop, all playback seems to be happening in Cinema 4d. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone have knowledge of Cinema 4d having realtime output to multiple displays. Or can anyone explain what is happening in the shot of the laptop screen which seems to be CInema 4d.

    Sorry, but its kinda hard to follow what your talking about.
    I dont see a link to what your referencing.
    Maybe some more info would help?

    Wild stab in the dark, your last line might be referring to the mograph 2 camera shader.

    Cool idea.
    Id say that the footage was tracked in a 3d tracking app like Boujou or syntheyes, and the camera data then imported into c4d.
    Then they created geometry to match the buildings.

    Then, I think they rendered the different clips, whether from c4d or AE
    and reapplied them using materials to the geometry.

    The shot at the end is just a shot of there monitor with c4d’s 4 view option, and there projection man setup.

    Thats my guess though im not an expert.
    any one else.

    This is a projection of 3d artowrk onto a building, really not concerned with the trackin of the camera seen. On the screen it seems that their animation is playing back in real time and projected through the projectors. is this possible in cinema 4d. is there a way to output the animation playback directly to a projector without rendering it to some sort of file. i do agree that the animation has been rendered and then used as materials. that is what it seems. any help is greatly appreciated.

    does anyone know anything on this. I really dont understand how he can output animation directly to a projector this way without rendering it.

    It looks like the whole thing is planned out beforehand, they went to the scene, took some pictures from where the projectors are going to be, render the video to match the pictures and play it as a file from (a) laptop(s) connected to the projectors. There is nothing spontaneous about it (note the McAffee ad near the end – sponsors probably) so why not render and get the best quality images first?

    i guess the main ? is what is going on in the screen shot of cinema 4d. I really appreciate the response

    Greatly Appreciated
