We're back with another Cinema 4D tutorial. If you're looking to spruce up your motion graphics in Cinema 4D, you're in the right place. In this tutorial, we're going to walk you through the process of adding dynamic trails to your moving objects using Tracer method. It's a neat little trick that will give your work some extra flair. Let's get started!

00:00 Final Result
00:08 Create a sphere with ring as the main object
01:21 Add a sweep and tracer to start the setup
01:41 Link the main object with tracer and adjust the setting
02:17 Add a helix as the path
02:36 Constraint main object to the helix using align to spline
03:15 Add wind deformer to the tracer and tweak the settings
04:14 Duplicate the tracer
04:34 Select the wind from the 2nd tracer and offset the rotation a bit
05:09 Adjust settings to create variation
05:25 Tweak the wind setting further if needed
06:49 Add a spherical field to the wind deformer and invert it
08:31 Tweak the settings to make improvements
08:44 Enhance the amount of polygons to improve the look
09:59 Add a camera and constraint to prepare for final render.
