3D Animation: Create a Plant Scene in Cinema 4D

Begin the course by learning about Bérénice's inspiring creative journey, she introduces you to her main sources of inspiration, from renowned painters to emerging artists.

She moves on to discuss her visual approach to working with three dimensions, with an emphasis on lighting and material effects. Learn how to use Quixel Megascans, a digital texture bank.

Next, Bérénice introduces Cinema 4D and teaches you how to model a flower in 3D and animate it. Discover the basic settings, rendering parameters, and tools for creating a camera in the software. Time to get modeling! Create the stem of the flower before moving on to the buds and the rock it's standing on. Then add some movement by creating an animation loop.

All that's left to do is fine-tune the rendering in OctaneRender. See how to create the illusion of natural light using the DayLight tool and then work with organic textures. After playing with the rendering parameters, export your animation.

To top it all off, Bérénice shows you how to save time by creating a texture library on Cinema 4D and how to use certain settings to share your work online. Now it's your turn to show the world your amazing animation loop!"
