Design of Characters in Cinema 4D: from the Sketch to 3D Printing

You will begin to know better the characters of Aaron Martinez, his imaginary and the most important influences of his work.

Then Aaron will teach you some basic concepts as an Introduction to 3D. You will learn the basic tools to work with Cinema 4D and learn to create simple elements as families of objects.

Once you have understood the operation of the program, you will begin to define the main features of the model that you will use to create your own character with pencil and paper and you will create its basic structure in Cinema4D.

When you have given the last details to your illustration as wrinkles, buttons, lenses, etc. It will be time to add color and textures with Illustrator and Photoshop. You will learn to create materials from scratch and simulate wood or metal finishes.

In addition, you will design an environment in which your character can live and you will configure the scene to be rendered with V-Ray.

Finally, you will know how to export your project to different formats: digital printing, web or 3D printer.
