Workshop week: Cinema 4D


This is the very first time I have ever done anything to do with cinema 4D. Using dots and spheres I created this globe looking effect by using various techniques and methods in Cinema 4D. We "Cloned" 1 dot and edited the setting so that the dots would be in a cubic shape, after this we made another sphere and used the "Mograph" tool in the top bar we clicked on "Effector > Shader" this made the dots go around the sphere itself and created this effect. We changed various other settings like the colour of the dots by using the material tool. We got this open by double clicking in the rectangular space below the timeline in Cinema 4d. Once we had all of our settings set up we imported an image of a ma of the world and dragged it into the sphere. We ticked some options which allowed us to make everything visible. Once we had ur settings and our globe complete we went to the timeline and made a new keyframe by clicking the small circle on the big sphere which everything was dragged onto, then we moved the timeline marker to the end of the timeline and clicked again, we changed the settings on the sphere to say 360 degrees (It was on 0) this made our globe rotate and animate. 

Since that this was the very first time i have every used Cinema 4D I am happy with the outcome, the overall effect is pleasing and I really like how everything look 3Dimensional which makes a change since i am used to working with more flat areas of design such as Illustrator and InDesign. Overall I think that I liked this so much because it's something completely new, I'm going to try and use Cinema 4D more in the future I have really enjoyed this workshop and the outcome that I 
have created.
