3D animation is involved with so many forms of industry and media from digital architecture to post production graphics for the X-Factor.
In my mind the most impressive C4D work in architecture are the “walk troughs” or “fly through” they are digital representations of what a house or building will look like, I have found some seriously impressive examples of this, below are some screen grabs from a fly through video of a beach house.
The visuals in this video are truly stunning, and incredibly life like i like the idea of the walk through it adds that extra sence of realism and creates the illusion of actually being in these rooms. i am currently debating if i should make another atempt at a house if i do i will definatle adopt this animation technique.

As I mentioned earlier 3d animations are also used for the tv a good example of this is the X-factor opening sequence, where the x-factor “X” hurtles through space and crash lands on earth this adds a sense of drama and excitement in an attempt to get the viewer pumped for the show. Here are a few screen shots from this animation.

As you can see C4D animations are extremely effective at making relatively boring TV interesting and creating excitement, even if the title sequence is totally irellivant to the and out of context to the program it still for fills its purpose. you can see examples of C4D work in alot of tv shows opening titles.
