3D illustration: from modeling to lighting

“That's the end of the lesson! Thank you for following it. I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your project. I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete your final project. This can be the styleframe you already started with the exercises or you can create a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Sketch and mood board Imagine and sketch the scene you want to create. Then, create a mood board of references to clarify these ideas.

Modeling Model the various objects and graphic elements that make up your visual in Cinema 4D. Light and textures Position the camera and set the scene well, then in Octane Render build in some suitable lighting. Once done, you can add texture to your objects and adjust your lighting accordingly. Render When you're done, you can render the visual and export it. From this rendering, you will make adjustments in After Effects. I can't wait to see what you have created! I invite you to post your creation on the forum of this course, to exchange and interact with the Domestika community. I will come by as soon as possible to comment on your work and discuss with you. I hope you had as much fun taking this course as I had giving it. See you soon !”

“Final project Thank you for taking this Domestika course. I hope Cinema 4D has no more secrets for you and you are ready to create your own 3D styleframe. Here are some final tips before you get started. Take the time to set your intentions. Once these are in place, you can move on to modeling your shapes and volumes being careful to have balance and harmony. You can then calmly take care of the framing and lighting. I advise you to observe how the light diffuses on the objects, to understand it and then recreate it in your visuals. And finally, have fun with textures and colors, the possib...”
