In this Cinema 4D tutorial, Chris walks through the process of creating a collapsing pit using Voronoi Fracture and Fields. This is the first in a series of advanced dynamics tutorials with the goal of making dynamics more art-directable. After the completion of the rig, we jump into Redshift and using a couple of plugins to “quickly” make a final setup for animation.
