3D Character Creation in Cinema 4D: Modeling a Happy Monster

In this course you  will learn the process of creating a 3D character in Cinema 4D. We will start with an empty file and work our way up to modeling, sculpting, texturing, and rendering a 3D character that looks awesome and is animation friendly. 

We will get the most out of the different tools that Cinema 4D offers, implementing different modeling and texturing techniques that will make your 3D life much easier for this and any future projects you work. 

We will create the UVs and texture our character using Cinema 4D's Body Paint to get a set of nice looking hand painted textures.

We will also use an HDR image and a few lights to lit our final scene, and make some amazing renders.

This course focuses on creating the 3D character you can see in the promo video, but you can use the techniques you learn here to create any other cartoon character you want. 

I’m confident that at the end of this course you will have a solid understanding of the 3D modeling process and you will be able to start creating your own 3D characters.
