plusplan

introduction with cinema 4d through following tutorials
goal: get familiar with the program

goal: progress in my focus points (shading, textures and realism

goal: learning motion design,
present skills through serie of posters

In the upcoming weeks i want to learn more and develop my skill in cinema 4d. In the last two years i have delved more in to motion design but never 3d design. I think having cinema 4d as a skill could be really helpful for future motion design projects.

My end goal is to be able to create visuals in cinema 4d which i can use in my graphic design major + a visual for my portfolio website to showcase my skill and make my portfolio website more visual appealing/stand-out

I mainly followed Andy Needham's course on LinkedinLearning (lynda) and did one chapter everyday

After learning the how to create basic shapes I decided to focus on shading, textures and realism

For this week I mainly followed Andy Needham's tutorials in shading, lightning, colours and materials

trying out the lightning tool and adding colours but applying to 3D renders

motion design try-out

FINAL OUTCOME

some final sculpting results of week 1

trying out the lightning tool and adding colours

final posters with the steps i took to create them

final outcome

For my finale income I skipped the idea of making visuals for my website since I was very limited to my (lack in) skills so it was hard to realise my own ideas from scratch. Instead I chose to create posters based on the tools and skills I learned.

I also didnt use motion design in my final result, I did try out motion design in week 3 but realised this would still take me a lot of time to learn (and my laptop couldnt handle it very well) so I thought it would be more helpful for me to really focus being able to make 3D models since this is already a quite complicated process.
I am still planning on doing more and diving into motion design.
