For week 5 process documentation, I jump right into Cinema4D and explore the particle  generator to produce the fluid form. I am still figuring out how to add more elements into it but I feel that this is a huge progress. I am quite satisfied with what I produced so far and maybe I will start exploring more in-depth.

First, I create a huge amount of particles in cinema4D and let it flow freely. The tutorial that I have posted in my research documentation really helps in learning for sure. However,  I was very unsure of how I am gonna frame within the wall and how render works. So this is the first trial that I have created. I spent quite a couple of days to figure out all the function to create this:

I found out that I can actually frame a rectangular shape that contains all the particles. So when they will ONLY flow within that boundary. This is quite useful because it helps to frame the whole composition to the dimension of the Media Wall in north spine, and it’s also quite easy to adjust it to fit into different dimension as well.

I also added a trail effect to those particles and it has this very beautiful look to it:

This is the first rendered version:

and the second rendered version to longer particle trails:
