How To Make The Rings Of Power Intro

Hi guys, so I recently watched the Rings Of Power and loved the intro so I thought I would try to figure out how some of the effects were made.
This will be a 3 Part series covering 3 different techniques.

I hope you enjoy it! and if there are other intros you'd like me to try to recreate let me know! :)

0:00 - Intro
1:40 - Creating Rocks
3:08 - Remesh
4:36 - Setting up cloner
6:14 - Setting up dynamics
7:20 - Field Force
14:40 - Replacing geo with High Poly
16:45 - Outro & Thanks

Halfway to the tutorial, I had to pause and just give out a thanks to you Bro. I think I just levelled Up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The visuals of the Intro is the best thing about the series

8:05 you can also simply throw the Rigid Body tag to any other object and return it back, the simulation will work. A very cool lesson! thank you!

Really amazing tutorial! Ended up being simpler than I thought it would be, but the outcome looks fantastic!

[PanewsONE]

I literally said "awesome!" out loud. Super cool effect, great job!

[carrotspell]

ideal tutor. without plugins making fantastic physics

[videokickstarter]

You're the man! Saved our ass with the perfect tutorial.

WOw just wow ....definitely on my list for the weekend. Thank you so much

[Mucharyan]

Oh this is awesome. Well done, I had the exact same thoughts on how you could achieve a similar effect while watching the intro scene as well.

Like the transition technic animating the falloff 👍

I'm def going study this when I get into learning fields again. I appreciate the tutorial bro! Keep at it!

[tunji]

Amazing! Thanks for the tutorial. ❤ Really looking forward to seeing the swirly particle variation. I bet that’ll be super exciting!

[aspizak]

Cool tutotial. You could prob add even more micro detail with octane scatter and animate noise (to imiate them reacting to movement a bit) to give some rocks almost a dust-like level of grain around it.

in 2024.3 the strength of the field force's velocity needs to be minus, or it will repel from the spline. Took me a bit of headscratching to work out.

You look a nice guy..as your tutorial..I'm not c4d user yet..but I may give it a try as u make it simple..keep going✌️

[TheLizardKing]

I did a similar thing in Houdini a while back. It was done with raster images though. You can feed it any black-and-white image and the rocks move to match.

[Shafy]

great>. the flow is you is amazing, it will be great when you use short cut. its shows the short cut combination on the screen, example: CMD +C

[inframe.motion]

So cool! clearly explanation, great effect, like and subscribe, please make more tutorial stuff like that

[sizosimelane]

I saw this and I was "YES, TIME TO LEARN".

Then I saw which program you're about to use and I cried

[bruceketta]

Beautiful tutorial, really thanks for share your knowledge!! 🙂
