The Crystal City - Free Cinema 4D & AE Tutorial

Based on helping a friend at work I made this 5 part tutorial for creating a Crystal City with Particles in Cinema 4D and After Effects.

Part 1: Creating a procedural crystal cluster in Cinema 4D

Part 2: Shading and Lighting crystals in Cinema 4D and creating the Environment.

Part 3: Making the spinning glowing Particles, and faking fast SSS (Sub Surface Scattering) in Cinema 4D.

Part 4: Setting up a quick render.

Part 5: Compositing, grading, creating Chromatic Aberration and adding 'Moreness' in After Effects.

Bonus: Creating Chromatic Aberration in After Effects
