Ha _! Good evening, friends! What I brought you this time is a tutorial on making C4D. I don't think many white people know what C4D is, so I'll introduce it to you first.
The full name of C4D is CINEMA4D, which is a 3D animation software produced by MAXON Company in Germany. Cinema4D is an old-fashioned 3D software. A 3D toolkit capable of top-level modeling, animation and rendering. Generally used in parts design and industrial design. It can also be used as an indoor architectural renderings. C4D and 3DMAX are not very similar, but a little close to Maya.
Compared with 3DMAX, it has the advantages of long operation time in China and high recognition. It is in a monopoly position in the decoration industry. C4D is mainly in the later stage of film and television, and industrial rendering is outstanding in these two industries.
Next, let's learn.
1. How to create a sphere
Step 1: Click and hold the blue button, and click the Select Sphere tool. Under Objects, scale the sphere to 250 cm. Change the line segment to 100 and the sphere type to octahedron. DELETE the sphere layer marker, click it and press the delete key to prevent it from appearing smooth when rendering.
Step 2: Click and hold the blue bending button and select Reduce Surface. Drag the relief layer so that it is below the sphere layer. Then reduce the intensity to 92% in the object properties. Then click the top menu motion graphics > displacement deformer, and drag the displacement deformer layer onto the relief layer.
Step 3: Replace deformer properties >; Coloring > bath wave reselecting object > height is 30cm. Go to the top menu bar and select Motion Graphics >; Random effector properties >; Deformation > polygon.
2. How to build a floating island
Step 1: Please make sure that the sphere is selected, and then click the buttons of illustration 1 and 2 to make it editable. Once you become editable, you cannot access some previous options, such as radius, segmentation, text, and rendering perfection. Make sure you are satisfied with the sphere settings before continuing with this step. Right-click and select Brush to adjust and attenuate the patterned surface in Changshu and Properties. Power -25% radius 75. Brush the spherical object with a brush and manipulate it into the shape of the island you want.
3. How to cut the ground of the island?
Step 1: Click the Cube button to create a cube and resize it to ensure that the sphere covered by the square is the part you want to cut. I would like to remind everyone here that when adjusting, we must switch perspectives to ensure coverage. Select array > from the top menu; Bull. Drag the sphere and cube layers. Make sure that the sphere under the Boolean layer is placed above the cube.
4. How to build a hill
Step 1: Click on the blue cube on the top menu to select the terrain. In the options menu, try using the zoom settings until you create the size of the mountain you like. You can try to adjust each option, get familiar with the effect of each setting, and use the zoom tool (T) to adjust the mountain to the required size. Delete the marker to the right of the terrain object to prevent it from appearing smooth when rendering. Then we select the hill and set the depth segmentation and width segmentation in the attribute to 15.
Step 2: Use the moving tool (E) to move the mountain. Put the bottom of the mountain on the floor. Go to the menu bar at the top and select the blue bending button >; Shrink the face and drag it to the terrain layer. Further adjust the appearance of the hill by editing the intensity reduction. Repeat the same steps to create more hills and arrange them according to your preference.
5. How to create a mini-tree
Step 1: Build a small tree for our floating island. Please go back to the blue cube button and select the pyramid tool again. Use the zoom tool (T) to adjust and resize it to a suitable size. Select the Left Point tool, and then use the Move Tool (E) to move the top of the pyramid down a little to make the small tree shorter. If you like a tall tree, you can also move it a little to make it higher. Next, create a pyramid repeatedly, move it below the previous pyramid, and then create a square as the trunk of the mini-tree. Then select all the layers of the mini-tree, CTRL+G, and then copy multiple mini-trees and place them freely.
6. How to add color
Step 1: Click the File button in the lower left corner of the screen. Then choose a new material. Double-click the small sphere icon that appears. In the Material Editor, there are many options, such as adjusting colors and un-highlighting. Click and drag the shader to the object you want to add color to.
Repeat the previous operation and color everything.
7. How to create the moon
If you are interested in PS and graphic design, you can communicate with me privately! Private letter learning, PS)
Step 1: Continue to click the blue cube button to select the sphere tool and delete the label behind the sphere layer. Add a face reduction tool and displacement deformer to the sphere, and edit the settings according to your preference. Add another moon color and move it to the correct position.
8. How to add lighting and render the scene
Step 1: Choose an appropriate angle to navigate in the viewport of the scene, and click the camera button to create a camera at the top. Select object > sky > create sky and establish basic lighting. Edit the time, place and date in the properties.
Step 2: Click the Render Settings button on the top menu bar. Choose the resolution, height and width of the picture. I set it to 1920x 120072dpi. Select file and file name to save. You have to edit in ps, so choose Alpha channel. Click the effect to select global lighting and environmental absorption. Finally, click Render!
That's it for the C4D part!
Next, go back to PS and color the rendering!
(color contrast adjustment, I believe everyone is familiar with these)
After all this, our floating island is officially completed!
The final effect:
