    Details of the content

    Scene in your head? - Realize it with the help of this Cinema 4D tutorial!

    The starting point: You are somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The crowning glory: In front of you is a street corner with a subway station in a lantern-lit night. Until then: create 3D models, apply textures, tweak the overall scenery with light sources. This is what awaits you in the Cinema 4D tutorial "Underground":

    The video training course, which lasts over five hours , is divided into 44 lessons. First, you build the staircase to the subway station as well as additional 3D models. Then you apply suitable textures. Finally, you light up the scene to optimize it in Photoshop at the end.

    Laying the foundation: creating 3D models in C4D

    You can successfully complete the Cinema 4D tutorial with basic knowledge of the software. You start in an empty room and begin with the 3D modeling of posts, railings, handrails, subway signs and other objects required for the scene.

    More challenging elements are also on your learning curve: learn how to go deeper with the staircase, how to enhance the streetlights with ornamental objects and where to add lively accents with the help of fine details such as a well-worn threshold. In all of this, you will work with common and sometimes less common Cinema 4D functions. From typical extruding to the use of MoGraph, you will use the appropriate tools for the respective 3D model .

    Perfectly laid out and superbly illuminated: Textures and light

    Once you have positioned the 3D objects, you can add textures such as asphalt, wall and paint to the road, sidewalk, wall and railings. You work in rain-soaked puddles with a reflective surface, work with the node-based material system and create an atmospheric background using a backplate. Details such as graffiti on the walls or crushed chewing gum on the ground are of course also a must in front of the subway station.

    After the first rendering , use various light sources to give the scene the perfect city night atmosphere. Whether all-round spotlights, spotlights or backlighting - light the scene atmospherically and create the right light reflections in the right places. To finalize, start Photoshop to round off the image with light-painting brushes, vignette, contrast and Camera Raw filters.

    Cinema 4D R21 and working materials

    The Cinema 4D tutorial explicitly includes various functions of Release 21 of the software. In this way, you will learn about the possibilities offered by the R21 update and how to use them in practice. Numerous working materials are included so that you can recreate the scene one-to-one or adapt it with your own ideas.

    Bonus: E-book with the new features in Cinema 4D R21

    As a bonus, you will receive 100 PDF pages in which Cinema 4D professional Andreas Asanger explains the most important new R21 functions of Cinema 4D . Among other things, there are explanations of vector volumes and force fields, improved cover surfaces and bevels. Working materials included.
