It doesn’t look like anything fancy to me — just plain extruded text with shadow casting, colored lights.

Hi Neal,
I suggest you check out the tutorials here, at C4DCafe, and at Cineversity. More power to you if you can find someone who will do a barter deal, but one-on-one training can easily run over $100/hr.

It would be fairly easy to do with MoGraph, but much quicker and easier still in AE.

It’s still under the tools menu.

Sorry, it’s actually called the “external compositing” tag in the English version. Then in the render settings>compositing export section you need to check the “include 3D data” box.

You can’t export actual geometry to AE. For keyframed data you can export cameras, lights, and position/rotation values for any other object that you’ve supplied with a 3D data tag (assuming you’ve checked 3d data export in render properties).
Otherwise you can export an overall alpha channel, alphas for individual objects (with object buffers), and various other passes (shadows, reflections, depth, etc.).

They had a Yahoo group but I don’t know if it’s still active.
You can generally adjust the tree/branch gap by moving the leave object’s axis.

Yes, the sweep nurbs object has a spline graph for twist, so you can add more at the end.

Also, in case you’re not aware of it, there’s a plugin called Interposer that duplicates most of Poser’s functions inside of Cinema, using poser content. Might be the way to go if you’re not up for rigging.
If you do decide to pass on Poser altogether, where do you intend to get your figures? Buy them? Model them yourself? FYI, without Interposer, Poser figures are very hard to work with inside of Cinema (or any general-purpose 3D app. for that matter).

The mirroring has to do with the way the texture is mapped in Cinema rather than the file format. If you don’t want to mess with the texture projection you can put the bitmap in a layer shader, add an Effect>Transform layer, and check the “Mirror” option.
