Digital 3D Lettering with Mixed Media

“Congratulations, you have reached the end of the course! I hope that the knowledge and tips I have passed on to you throughout the lessons will be helpful in this and in your other projects to come. Hopefully, this is just the beginning! So, before we say goodbye, I would like to recap briefly the steps you will have to follow on your way to your Final Project. The first step is to create a sketch on paper and make as many tests as you need. Then, once you're happy with it, transfer it onto Adobe Illustrator and try to infuse personality into your lettering using the PaintBrush tool and different stroke settings.

Import your vectorized image into Cinema 4D and use the extrude tool to create a basic 3D model and improve it using the volume builder tools. Then work on your lighting using Redshift: Area Lights and Dome lights with HDRI environments. Finally, give it an extra personal touch by adding texture using authentic materials such as acrylic paints and rendering the image with Redshift. Give some final touches in Photoshop and apply the album mock-up model. And that's all from my side. I want to recommend you participate in the forum since I'll be there to comment on your progress and solve your doubts. Also, the Domestika community is a great place to share and receive feedback from creative minds worldwide. See you on the forum! ”

The challenge was to make it cheerful and avoid aggressiveness. The first ste...”
