Learn Cinema 4D - Create Abstract 3D Design Elements

What You Will Learn?

• In this course, you'll learn how to create abstract 3D design elements. And by doing that you'll also learn the fundamentals of working with Cinema 4D, and with 3D in general..
• You'll need Maxon Cinema 4D(Prime, Broadcast, Visualize or Studio), and Adobe After Effects. No third party plugins are used..
• We learn best by doing, so this is a hands-on, project-based course..
• This is the first course, in a series of four, where we'll create abstract shapes that are excellent as design elements for graphic designers and motion designers. You can use them for both 3D and 2D workflows. .
• We will use a procedural workflow that doesn't require modeling. That means that all settings remain editable, and we can change the entire look by just adjusting a few sliders. It makes the whole process of creating and experimenting fun, flexible, and powerful..
• Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover.
• • Working with parametric objects.
• • Exploring how geometry and complexity affect the appearance of objects.
• • Working with deformers.
• • Looking at how displacement works and how to optimize for best result.
• • Working with the noise shader.
• • Making complex shaders by using the layer shader.
• • Lighting a scene with 3-point lighting.
• • Working with cameras.
• • Creating materials.
• • Rendering with the Physical and the Standard Renderer.
• • Color grading and post-effects in Adobe After Effects.
• You'll have access to all the project files, so it's easy to follow along. Although I hope you'll experiment a lot so you can come up with your unique designs..
• Let’s start..
