Introduction to Modeling in CINEMA 4D R11.5

5

Because of its many pieces, a Swiss Army Knife will provide a great project for us to begin building different types of shapes in CINEMA 4D

CINEMA 4D offers a number of options for creating 3d geometry ranging from traditional polygon modeling tools to powerful spline based techniques

In building our knife, we'll cover a wide array of modeling tools that will allow you to quickly get up to speed building your own geometry in CINEMA 4D

Learn the tools and techniques that will allow us to begin modeling in CINEMA 4D

Software required CINEMA 4D R11

We'll also explore several methods for adding geometry using splines

We'll also touch on using Cloner Objects, spline effectors, and working with nulls and pivots

We'll explore CINEMA 4D's very flexible, hierarchy-based workflow that will allow us to make modifications to many parts of our model after we've created them

We'll look at dealing with different types of geometry available to us

We'll use various tools to begin modifying polygon geometry by adding edges, extruding out faces, and smoothing the geometry
