New 2013 show reel is now out!  I really am happy with how this reel looks compared to last year and hope it can prove that I am one of the top motion graphic designers in the Chicago area. Now only 8 days until I am 100% full time freelance! ENJOY!!

Here is a background I created for my laptop and I am sharing it with everyone for free!  I was modeling some gears for a short animation on Thursday and decided it would be fun just to make a background instead. So I went ahead and modeled a screw as well to bring some variety to the background.  After setting up the whole composition and pushed render I realized that this was going to take  a lot longer to render than I originally thought.  It took 5 1/2 hours to render this guy out of C4D.  Turned out that I was on frame number 148 when I rendered it out so hence the name screw0148.  The giant 2700x1600 background will be available to download off of my site next week!  You can download the full res background over here on my website butlerm.com.  Enjoy!

Picking up the Pieces - C4D Revealer

You can now pick up my new Cinema 4D template today over on videohive.  This detailed file looks a lot more complicated than it actually took to figure out how I was going to achieve this effect; which I think is a win-win.  Also the long light streaks in the video are custom made, not from the Optical Flares plugin incase you were wondering.  Enjoy!!

Abstract 3D Vector Lines

Blue Floating Form Lines

Above you see a still from my new motion graphic background which a good chunk of it was made using Cinema 4D.  Also below here you can find the sample video of the animation.  Originally I had planned to make something like this totally in After Effects but after about 10 minutes I quickly realized that the amount of detail I needed to make this happen (with like trapcode form) would be way to complicated for after effects to still be responsive. So I headed over to Cinema 4D to see if I could figure out how to do it in there.  I was actually able to produce the general shape relatively quickly but having the lines animate organically was a little bit of a challenge for me.  Anyways if you are interested in picking up this elegant background head over to videohive today!
