Abstract Compositions with Cinema 4D

Designing in three dimensions implies a series of challenges and peculiarities that must be taken into account when addressing a project. In this Domestika course you will learn one of the easiest ways to learn to master this world: creating abstract compositions with basic shapes.

Jeison Barba, Colombian designer specialized in 3D and motion graphics will be your 3D guide. With a portfolio of clients of the likes of Netflix, Cinemax and Hatsu, Jeison is already an expert in Cinema 4D, and throughout this course it will help you create high-level abstract pieces ready to show in your portfolio.

You will start by knowing Jeison, who will tell you a little about how he started in the world of 3D and animation, and then show you some of the designers that have influenced his style.

Before creating your 3D compositions, you will start looking for graphic references to develop the style of your creations. From there you will start to create your initial composition, a still life or set environment. Jeison will teach you several basic resources and tools of Cinema 4D.

You will prepare the resources in Adobe Illustrator to create shapes from vectors, before taking them to Cinema 4D. This way you can work with lighter files.

Now, get to work. You will start modeling all the necessary objects for your scene using the modeling tools that Jeison will teach you. You will build structures with basic shapes and you will also learn to incorporate models downloaded from the internet into your composition.
