Taipei is the capital of Taiwan, located in the north and serving as the political, economic, and cultural center of the island. The city is known for its modern architecture and bustling business districts, with Taipei 101 being one of its most famous landmarks. In addition, Taipei is renowned for its rich food culture, with night market delicacies such as stinky tofu and beef noodles attracting many tourists. The city also boasts a wealth of historical and cultural attractions, including the National Palace Museum and Lungshan Temple.
Overall, Taipei is a diverse city that blends tradition and modernity, prosperity and nature.
I tried to combine all my skills and apply them to this project.
In these projects, I explored IK Chains, Dynamics systems, and camera sequencing in C4D, focusing on object movement, collision effects, and visual storytelling.
For Robot Arm, I built a skeleton using IK Chains, refining rotation limits and easing for smoother motion. Vehicle Crash involved animating movement along Spline paths, applying Rigid Body Dynamics for realistic collisions and chain reactions.
I also used multi-camera sequencing to highlight movement details and impact moments, enhancing narrative rhythm and visual tension. These experiences strengthened my C4D motion design skills, preparing me for more complex animations.
I explored C4D's material system to enhance realism, experimenting with glass, rubber, and plastic materials to simulate light refraction and natural collisions. Combining textures with procedural materials, I created rough, worn surfaces for added authenticity.
This experience improved my visual storytelling and texturing techniques, which I aim to refine further in future dynamic designs..
In this project, I animated a vehicle following a Spline path in C4D, integrating Rigid Body Dynamics to simulate realistic collisions. I adjusted animation curves for natural motion and applied Collision Tags to create interactions like roadblocks being hit or obstacles collapsing.
By exploring rigidity, elasticity, and friction, I enhanced realism through multi-level dynamic simulations. This project deepened my understanding of C4D’s Dynamics system, laying a foundation for advanced animation designs.
