Cinema 4D

In today's last CC suite, we had Stephen introducing Cinema 4D. We started watching an introduction video that demonstrates how Cinema 4D is used in reality, and there was some amazing examples. It's used a lot in the design industry and it has a lot of different purposes you can use it towards. This is a show reel demonstrating how well Cinema 4D is used in the industry.


So in this workshop, we were going through different tasks and exploring the interface of this new software. Here are some screenshots below of some of the tasks:


This is a packaging task where we experimented with the interface, You can zoom in and out of the shot. The packages are made up with textures.


This is a little animation that was created of a cloner spinning. We changed some of the properties, added a light and made it our own. The animation I made will be down below.


This is the independent bit where we create our own text and make a short animation. I decided to use the word 'HYPE' perhaps because of the mood during this session. After all, we were just going with the flow and it was all fun and chilled. I liked the look of the 3D text so I will be turning this into some sort of animation.


Just before I decided to render my video, I added a texture and a gradient background which gives it a nice clean look. Using the texture and pattern just made the render extremely low. So I changed the settings to low resolution and rendered it eventually. Here are the two videos from the workshop:
