Playful Animated Character Design with Cinema 4D

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for choosing me to lead you through the world of character animations in Cinema 4D. It's time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the work you started while completing the exercises, or you could start a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice.

• Model your character with basic primitives and the “Cloner” tool. • Animate the character while referencing key animation principles. • Add light and textures to your scene. • Composite your project together and export it for your portfolio. I look forward to seeing your project in the Domestika forum! I'll be checking in from time to time to look at your posts, answer your questions, and give you feedback. Remember, you can also interact with your peers and give them feedback, too. I really hope you enjoyed the course!”
