Modeling a Colorful 3D World in Cinema 4D and Redshift (French, Eng sub)

Learn to model a house in its own animated universe in Cinema 4D and explore the harmony of shapes, colors, and light

Are you ready to reinterpret the world around you and create an incredible 3D universe? In this online course, learn how to model a scene in Cinema 4D and Redshift, working primarily on light and color to get a one-of-a-kind, lively, and well-balanced illustration.

Romain Braccini accompanies you throughout this captivating journey. This 3D illustrator likes to work from photographs to design entire universes full of fun and positivity. Something to brighten up your day!

Start by getting to know Romain Braccini and learn more about his journey through digital drawing. He tells you about 3D artists and motion designers who inspire him such as Laurie Rowan and Almir Nago.

He then takes you through some techniques for finding inspiration by drawing on your memories, interests, or previous creations. Design a mood board to unlock your creativity. Now you’re all set to sketch out your model on a sheet of paper.

Time to dive into Cinema 4D! Romain shows you how to prepare the software interface and import your drawing before guiding you through all the modeling stages for your scene. In no time at all, your house, the mill beside it, and some extra decorative elements come to life before your eyes.

Next, work with light and textures in Redshift. Start by lighting your model and then define a color palette. Create patterns in Photoshop and apply them to your design in Redshift. Work on the rendering and post-production… And there you have it! Your 3D illustration is complete.

After discovering some retouching tricks in Photoshop, all that’s left to do is export your work and share it on social media to create a buzz.
