Part one of the Alien Flower tutorial series – on how to create & animate a growing and infinitely blooming flower in Cinema 4D.  In Parte Uno we create and animate the flower petals, clone those into a flower shape, time offset them to make it bloom. Then we shade the flower and loop the animation.
