Neon sign design in Cinema 4D

“Now that we're at the end of the course, I hope you enjoyed the journey. I wanted to thank you for making it this far and for spending your time with me. It's time to share your creations and show the progress of your project. Comment on how you made it, talk about the challenges and difficulties you faced, and how you overcame them. In short, share your experience. I want your project to be different from mine. Repeat what I do to learn, but when it comes to publishing your project, create something unique. This enriches our creative community. Gather your images and share your project by clicking the "Create your project[/url] button. Your post will become part of your Domestika portfolio. Your portfolio is your showcase for the world to see and hear. Remember that explaining your project is crucial, not showing photos. Here are some links to help you organize it: [url=https://assets6.domestika.org/course-images/000/043/756/43756-big.png]Support link 1 Support link 2 These are my recommendations for doing your project: 1. Find the underlying idea or concept. This will help you give your project or image collection a purpose, allowing you to tell a story or create a world around it. 2. Create a mood board before each project. Remember that having a good reference base for the finishes you're looking for in terms of texture and lighting will make your work easier when creating your projects, which is why it's so important.

3. Create your base files or structures in Adobe Illustrator, this will help you when you want to model in Cinema 4D. 4. Look for frames from photographs or movie scenes and use them as a reference when creating your compositions. Good composition is essential for our projects because the way the scene is framed will convey different messages. 5. Pay close attention to getting good lighting, as this will help highlight details in your scene as well as realism or highlight textures that will make us believe the scene exists or not. 6. Finally, prepare your files for export and sharing on various social networks to give your projects greater reach. I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work. After all, we'll be helping each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! See you on the forum!”
