Description
Welcome to this course on modeling a toy car in Cinema 4D. In this series of lessons you will take your skills from beginner to intermediate in no time.The topics that will be covered include the following:
-
Configuring viewports importing reference drawings, and scaling the drawings to the correct size.
3D Modeling
-
3D Modeling the car body, wind-up mechanism, wheels and bottom trim with parametric primitives, utilizing the make editable mode, modeling with points, and using the MoGraph Cloner for tire treads.
-
The use of the symmetry object and subdivision surface for an efficient workflow and smoother surfaces.
BP UV Edit, Texturing, and Lighting
-
Body Paint UV Edit, the paint set-up wizard, preparing the UV layout, projection methods, adding a sketch layout for reference.
-
Using the UV layout as reference to paint textures in Photoshop with the brush and pen tools.
-
Importing custom textures into Cinema 4D materials and refining their parameters; color, reflectance, etc. Refining the custom textures to they line up with the car geometry properly.
-
Creating a seamless environment in Cinema 4D using the floor and background tools.
-
Creating a 3-point light set-up and defining camera views.
Render Settings and Post-Production
-
Render settings: setting up ambient occlusion and global illumination effects, multi-pass layers and object buffers.
-
Post-production adjustments in Photoshop to enhance the final image.
