The Art of Movement in Nature
This project was born from a masterclass I had the opportunity to teach in Peru, where we explored how to create realistic flowers in Cinema 4D without resorting to external plugins.
The goal was to understand how nature moves and breathes—to translate that organic language into a purely procedural workflow, using only the software's native tools.
Each flower was created from scratch in Cinema 4D, focusing on:
Deformers and fields to generate natural growth.
Mograph cloners and effectors to modulate movement.
Materials and organic shading with Redshift.
Timing and art direction inspired by biological patterns.

Beyond technique, this project represents a personal quest: how to make digital art retain the emotion of life.
Thanks to Wacom, SENATI, and PolygonUs for making this space for creation and learning possible.

The Beginning and the Process
Over the years, I've created many flowers—some for larger projects, others just out of curiosity or to learn something new.
Not all of them turned out the way I expected, and that's okay. Some were imperfect, unbalanced, or simply didn't convey what I wanted. But they were part of the journey, and each attempt taught me something about form, rhythm, and sensitivity.
Today I can say that many people have sought me out for precisely these types of projects, and that reminds me that every result is born from hundreds of previous attempts.
Everything has a beginning.
These were my first explorations in Cinema 4D to understand how to make a flower “breathe” digitally.
Not all of them turned out well, but they helped me understand the logic behind natural movement.

To everyone who participated in the masterclass, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It was incredible to share with you this space where the technical and the sensitive blended. Seeing how each of you interpreted nature in your own way, how you experimented with movement, shapes, and light, was truly inspiring.
Thank you for your energy, your curiosity, and for reminding me that teaching is also a way to continue learning.
See you in the next session.
