This is a personal project by Jamie Steedman created in Cinema 4D. It was for a tutorial that he created for the Flayr FX website where he has kindly offered the project files and renders for free download.

I created the tutorial and all the project files culminating in the final result below. The Rubik’s cube animates in the typical horizontal and vertical ways. In this particular example, the cube falls to pieces and crashes to the ground. I used a variety of techniques including Xpresso, special lighting and camera movements to a target.
