So I'm not much of a 3D kinda person, in fact I have been fighting 3D for a long time. I used 3D Studio Max at MCAST, then Maya at UKC where I even went as far as to model a whole realistic looking character and painfully creating a UV map for it! So now I got this Cinema 4D software which has so far been the easiest out of the 3 I have tested.
Have now had intense training thanks to my employers and I can now honestly say I love 3D. The great thing about 3D is that you can create abstract visuals and control lighting, shadows and cameras in such a flexible way. These can then be incorporated with other graphic elements such as posters and illustrations; gotta love mixed media. I might be posting some easy Cinema 4D tutorials here soon.
Here are a couple of my test newbie renders that I did during my training:
 |
| The Lonesome teacup with an expensive looking teabag |
 |
| Terracotta biscuits? Yes please! |
 |
| Cakes, tables, lathes, splines, architecture materials that look like food |
 |
| Capsules and Arrays make beautiful Jello |
 |
| Volumetric lighting, just can't get enough, and some cloth introduced |
 |
| Global Illumination and Depth of Field.. and now the modelling is starting to look crappy :) |
Anyone hungry yet?
