Toon Drops in Cinema 4D
Learn how to use Spline Wrap and Sketch and Toon to create flowing drop shapes. This is actually an old tutorial that held off on publishing until this job was well in the can.

Awesome work Harry! Keep the C4D tutorials coming.
When I was watching your reel, I was wondering how you made those blobs! Thanks for showing us your tricks!
PS – if you wanted to fill the objects using the cell renderer, you could simply render out another pass with a color entered into the luminance channel of a shader…

bump for Mark’s solution. Make a new material, turn off all options except for luminance channel. Edit luminance to the color you want. No cell or separate passes required. Thanks for the demo.
Good idea on the luminance. How can you get a stroke on the edge though? Layer styles in AE is one idea…
Cool tutorial, and good follow-up discussion & tips. If after affects is in the workflow, another way might be to ditch materials in C4D altogether and render luma mattes for each object, then use fills and strokes for flexible compositing.
Perfect…woahhhhhhhhh….thank’s…It’s great…
If you go the luminance route, you could always bring your drops into AE and put a negative value into the choke effect. Then, just simply place a black (or whatever color you want your line to be) fill on the layer, and you should be good to go. Ultimately, I would probably use the cel renderer to get the lines, but this option may also work…
Love that you’re doing C4D tutorials! Great tip! I actually wondered if you did some of that in C4D’s Sketch & Toon. Now I know the answer!
Hi! Harry,thanks for the tutorial very nice…:) I’m a fan of yours from the After Effects tutorials. I’m glad that you are now doing Cinema 4D tutorials too, because I’m also an user my self..:) I have been using Cinema 4D version 11 for moths,but now that I have version 11.5 I have a problem. When I try to exported to Cinema 4D to After Effects it won’t work. Don’t know if I need a version 11.5 plug-in??? I do have a plug-in in my After Effects for Cinema 4D version 11. Can you please help me—thanks again–keep up the good work.
What are you “exporting” from Cinema to AE? Are you talking about camera data? How far do you get? Can you provide more information that it “won’t work” ?

is there any way to achieve this on AE itself?
Perhaps with Particular and Motion Paths?
cool
Hi~there
Does anyone know what the palette’s name is?
(It shows up about 4:20)
thank you!
Those are the render settings.
hi harry,
thanks a ton for this trick, eventhough i m a 3ds max user but same trick can be applied in it as well.
thanks once again,
