Spark of Life with Behind the Scenes #midweekmotivations

April 18, 2024

Spark of Life, created by Something’s Awry Productions, is a beautiful animated short, featuring new features in Maxon One. The artists used Cinema 4D‘s new unified particle system, new in the Maxon One Spring Release.

Spark of Life

The team created textures with Substance 3D Painter and rendered in Redshift. The particle simulation, rigging, and animation happened with Cinema 4D. I love the section with the Motion Capture, with the help of Perception Neuron mocap software.

The whimsical single scene in Spark of Life is not enough! It could be a full-length feature film!
