We're going to show you how to make a 3D text shatter effect. This effect is made in two programs, Cinema 4D and Photoshop.If you haven’t heard of Cinema 4D before it is a relatively easy to use 3d application, it is quite similar to 3dsMax or Maya. We will go pretty in depth with the Cinema 4D part, for all the inexperienced users, so bare with me if we go too slow. Now enough chit chat, let’s jump in.
