Cinema 4D - Milk & Juice Carton Tutorial. Volume Builder ‘Liquid’ Loop Animations

In this Cinema4D R20 tutorial, I’ll show you how to create both of these Carton animations using the volume builder - 2 for 1! I’ll take you though the whole process, modelling and animating the milk carton using volume builder and then lighting and texturing with Octane. We’ll then adapt the model, animation and octane materials to create the glass orange juice version.

As I posted these to Instagram, Derek Elliot took the challenge on himself to recreate this effect in Blender! A package I know nothing about, but fascinating to see another workflow. So check out his channel if you’re also a Blender user!

I love seeing how other people tackle the same problem in these different programs, amazing!
