Free Xpresso Camera Rig for Cinema 4D
Free C4D Camera Rig
A gift from me to you
To aid you in easily creating smooth arcing camera movements in Cinema 4D, I created a camera rig using slider controls and Xpresso.
The main use of this camera rig is arcing, craning, sliding, and barrel roll moves focused around a central target. It also includes built-in field of view (FOV) and depth of field (DOF) controls, an object-based target mode, as well as a built-in camera shake feature.
There’s nothing in this setup that you can’t already do with the built-in tools, but it’s nice to have all the controls in one place. I use this rig almost on a daily basis and I thought it might be useful for others as well. Be sure to let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy.
