“In this lesson, we will learn how to import a line from Illustrator to our Cinema 4D file and how to rotate it on itself to create round objects. In this case, we will create a bottle. Let's see. The last generator of line that we will see ... is Lathe, which, starting of a line, we are going to make a line turn on itself 360 ° to create a cylindrical shape, more or less cylindrical, say.

I always ...”
