3D Self-Portrait Creation for Social Media in Cinema 4D

3D Character Modelling with Cinema 4D

“We have reached the end of the course. Thank you so much for your participation! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Now you are ready to start your own project: apply the techniques and the process that you have learned to create a self-portrait in 3D with your own unique style. But before you get started, let me remind you the most important steps you have to take to create your 3D character. First, gather some references that might inspire you and create a mood board – this will help you to define the style and mood of your character. Then you start sketching your character based on the references you have collected. It might be helpful to put together a character collage to work from and get a good sketch. Once your sketch is ready, you start modeling the character base in Cinema 4D, starting with the body and then adding details like facial features, hair, clothes and accessories. Finally, you finish up the overall look of your character by adding color and textures. You will see how it takes shape and comes to life!

The final step is the rendering and retouching in Photoshop. So, once you have prepared your render, import the file into Photoshop and apply some color corrections and last details to finish up your 3D avatar. Then, it will be ready to be used as a profile picture on social media! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you create on this course. Upload photos of the process and the final result of your work in the forum. I also encourage you to help and give advice to other students in this course – working together can be very helpful and inspiring. I'll be reviewing your work too, and I'll give you feedback as often as I can. Until then, enjoy creating your own 3D character! ”

“Final Project We have now come to the end of our course, and I wanted to take some time to summarize the lessons we've covered and some of the new skills we've learned. At first, I told you a bit about myself, my artistic path, and the artists that influenced me the most, hoping that they'll inspire you as well to create your own unique work. Before we started designing our character, we collected some references in a mood board on Pinterest to reflect the style and the essence of the avatar we wanted to create. Regardless of whether this is a client project or personal work, this is a cruc...”
