Wine Glass

Hello fellow internet users.

When practising top use Cinema 4D I tried creating a wine glass to get me started with learning different skill when it comes to my final project.

 When creating a wine glass in Cinema 4D I started on by finding a picture of a glass from the internet. Once I found a suitable glass I then went onto the front view to then upload my picture onto Cinema 4D by configuring all. I then used the Beizer tool so that I was able to create the out line and connect all the dots together.

Once I had created the outline of my wine glass I then went onto use the Lathe Nurbs tool so that I was able to form a whole object. As I only created half of the wine glass when using the Beizer tool, this then creates a bold visual object.

Finally I then went onto texturing the Wine glass, for this part all I needed to do was find a glass texture that best fitted a realist look so that people would be able to gain a better feel. Once I placed the texture on my object I then rendered my creation that then I was able to visualise what the wine glass would actually look like.

Pillar

Hello fellow internet users.

When learning how to use Cinema 4D I practiced creating a few simple objects. An example of this would be the pillar that I made.

When creating the pillar I started of with a cube shape. I then scaled the the cube to much more smaller size by flattening it out, I did this by using the Y aces and pushing it inwards so I was able to format he shape without the other two aces moving. Once I formed the first part of the base of the pillar I then used another cube object and scaled this one so it was slightly smaller than the first object so that I was then able to place it on top.

Once I had formed the foot of the pillar I then moved onto creating the centre piece, I did this by using a Cogwheel and then extruded the Nurbs within the wheel to create a more ridged sharp object. Once I created the centre piece for the pillar I then moved onto developing the top half. For this part of creating the pillar all I need to do was copy the bottom half and mirror the object so it would then be evenly placed on top. 

To Finish my new creation then then added a texture to place onto the pillar so that it was to look more realistic. The material which I had used for this was a crystal looking marble, this gave off a cold looking effect to the pillar as a whole. Once I had added a texture to the pillar I then multiplied the object so that I had four of the same pillar to then create a rectangular shape out of them. Once I all the pillar were in place I then used the pyramid shape to then form the top half. 

Uses Of 3D Modelling

Hello fellow internet users

Product design 

When using 3D modelling in general life activities such as creating a product, you would first design this product within 3D modelling software such as Cinema 4D. This is so show what the product would actually look like in real life once designed. Within this program you would be able to visualise what would make up each part for example to create the Gtech Multi which has been shown below. 

Animation

When using Cinema 4D you are able to explore the many uses within animation for instance when you are showing of a product you are able to animate how the product will work. Other ways that animation would be used is within the film industry as many film companies such as Disney Pixar and Dream Works they would use CGI to create some of the biggest films which are now known in the industry.

Film

Within the film industry when using software such as Cinema 4D generally this would be used to create special effects within films, a great example of this would be Roland Emmerich's 2012. Special effects are usually used to create something that would be hard to create in the real world, for instance when editing special effect such as the tidal wave in the film 2012. 

TV

When using 3D modelling within TV it is a lot like film as they would use special effects within a programme. An example for this would be in Sky Sports when they are to show the audience back at home where the ball was played, lets say if it was a foul play then the camera would show a retake and circle where the ball has been positioned. 

Web and Games

When using creating Web and game within the industry, 3D modelling is very commonly used when using 3D space. Software such as Cinema 4D is used to develop a large amount of various gaming worlds. As this is so it allows the audience to become more open minded to the realism which has been created when playing a game, however the realistic effect is not always shown within games as some 3D artists use other styles when creating a game such as developing an Alien planet with unrealistic creatures and objects in the game. 

Education

When focusing on the educational side by using 3D modelling; a person would be able to develop an educational video to help when teaching as say a child on how to brush their teeth. Then a short animation would be able to make the whole experience a lot more entertaining and engaging for the child so that they are more likely to follow the instructions which are shown in the clip. 

Architectural

When it comes to architecture 3D modelling is very useful. This format is used for architects and interior designers to pitch an idea to a client to present what a building would look like when it comes to life. Using using software such as Cinema 4D allows the audience  to visualise the product in much more depth before making any commitments to a plan. This can show a certain atmosphere to what the building would look like from the outside/inside, when presented in day or night.
