This animation of a Super Mario Bros game level was created using Maxon Cinema 4D. This was created as a teaching sample to show different modeling and animation techniques inside Cinema 4D. Students use these techniques to build their own Nintendo-inspired environment. The .gif image below shows the entire finished environment demo before cameras were added and animated in the scene.
