What’s the current state of CGI in advertising today? What is it all about? What can I create? Some real world examples.

A introduction to Maxon’s Cinema 4D – a 3D modeling tool available for both Mac & PC.

You will learn about the user interface and some basic modelling ideas that you need to grasp in order to complete this course.

With some basic tools at your disposal, you will now get your hands dirty modelling your first real world object, a Revlon Lip gloss product.

With the basic model ready, you need to find yourself a logo and bring it from a flat bitmap to a vector type graphic using Illustrator. If you do not have the software, Vadim has provided the ready files for import into Cinema 4D.

Now that you have your logo in a 2D vector shape, it’s time to bring it life in the 3D world and apply it to your model.

There’s nothing attractive with a naked model – so let’s dress her up with some materials adding some realism to your scene.

Fully dressed, your Revlon product is ready to take the stage. You’ll see how lights are added to bring out some life into the product.

Next up is adding a camera to the scene. Figure out the focal length for the desired perspective and make some tweaks with lighting to improve the image impact.

Time to put this all together and let the computer do some work, but before that, you need to learn some basics about what is rendering and how to set things up.

Let’s wrap things up with a touch of Photoshop to bring out some contrasts, saturations and more.

earn to create simple objects such as 3D text, curtains, vases/bottles, and odd shaped items that combine various shapes.

This second bonus gives you a glimpse at the power of particle dynamics. See how to create gravity, colliding balls onto various surfaces coming from an emitter.
