I purchased All Access to School of Motion's courses in November 2024 and jumped staight to the C4D Basecamp (and C4D Ascent) course to refresh my 3D fundamentals - very helpful, honestly!
One of the later assignments was to work with Mograph: Cloners, Effectors, and Fields in C4D to build and subsequently animate a favourite city. Perhaps this exercise would have been simpler if the word favourite wasn't screaming in my head with full force.





Although I have never been to Japan, I decided to go above and beyond with the task. SOM provided some apartment buildings, business structures, cars, a few trees, a couple of flowers,
and a lamp post. I added the elements I needed, including typical Tokyo landmarks, traditional Japanese structures, a Pokémon centre, a tranquil park, and several smaller details that are only noticeable upon closer inspection.
