    Hi, I’ll post a link to make my question clearer.

    https://punga.tv/portfolio/morning.mov

    First, I want to know how to do this effect, where the objects seem to bend as they follow a spline or motion guide.

    and i’d like to know how to achieve this cartoon+edges look..

    thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    there are several ways to accomplish the bending task but it requires additional software.

    I think as this is clearly motion graphics the MoGraph module by MAXON should be able to do this. Also Renato Tarabellas PathDeformer is very good for such tasks. But I think als MSA (MultipleSplineAttach) by Mikael Sterner can do this, though not sure if it can.

    The sketch & Cartoon look is very special. Also here you have several options.

    First thing would be to play with material settings. Especially check the illumination tab, where you can control the shading. Play with the settings a little bit.
    Next thing, but not useful for highly stylized stuff, is Cinema 4Ds core cartoon renderer. You find this one in the render settings in the post effects tab.
    For full control, fast and reliable rendering the very best choice however is MAXONs Sketch & Toon. It allows you to generate any desired NPR (Non-Photorealistic) render look.

    Hope that helps

    Just like Samir said – get yourself one of those path deformation tools. If you are halfway versed in compositing, getting Sketch & Toon may not be necessary – you can always add the otlines later if you render in separate layers. There is als oa basic Edge/ Outline effect included in the standard C4D package.
