Workshop Week: Cinema 4D

I know I could be pushing the formal to informal talk a little bit too close to the informal side, but I really enjoyed working on this, and I have plenty of personal stuff to talk about.

I've always wanted to work in 3D programmes: Video-game dev-kits, Modellers like blender or Animation programmes like Poser or Maya, they're just all a lot of fun.
It was just always a shame I never knew how to use any of them.

But, fortunately, I picked the Cinema 4D course and had an absolute blast learning the ins and outs of a piece of 3D software.

We were taught very simple tools and tips, how to make simple constructs and use tools to make elaborate displays and they all looked rather cool.

The first two things are things we were all taught how to do and everyone produced, the rest is all things I made as I continued to experiment.

 (This was done with the use of a cloner and a sphere, and the texture of an atlas used to exclude certain areas.)

 This was envisioned as something as a 'futuristic, holographic' crosshair that would all line up when they were aimed correctly. This was created with a combination of vectors from Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D, using a wireframe and extruded shape combination.
