About the final project for: Creating 3D Compositions in Cinema 4D

Creating 3D Compositions in Cinema 4D

“We reached the end of the course, thank you very much for walking this path with me. Now you are ready to start your own personal taste anthology. Remember that the more you delve into what you like the most, your project will be more unique and will truly reflect a part of you. I invite you to share everything you can document about your process and present it in your portfolio so that we can all appreciate what was the path you traveled and what were stages you solved, although you already know my project, I share its stages. Brainstorming First things first, a list with all those elements with which I feel identified and later look for references and make sketches. Every great result needs a good story that can be told to others!

Cool Hunting The references are very good, organizing them in folders will be very useful. In addition, it gives you ideas about the color palette you want, but if not, you can rely on web pages. With all that in hand, create your sketch.
Hands on molding Use the web pages where you can download 3D models, or model your own elements with the tools. Remember that having a process will allow you to be more orderly and solve a single thing at a time very quickly and efficiently, as is the case of modeling everything in gray and adding color after defining the scene. Take the time to do your lighting tests, and experiment with different materials that convey the emotions you want.
Details that make the difference Finally, remember to be very observant and pay attention to details because this will make your illustrations provoke unique atmospheres. For this, you can use camera effects such as depth of field and bloom, in addition to configuring your renders in layers and then retouching them in Photoshop.
It's time to say goodbye and thank you for taking my course. I am sure that the contents will somehow reinforce or awaken in you all the talent you already have, you just have to keep working on it. Please, encourage yourself to share in the forum the stages of your process and comment on the results of others, so you will be able to visualize your project from other perspectives that will help you define your final composition. I will be happy to see and comment on your results. See you soon! ”
