Introduction to Cinema 4D
I have curated this course to show you the step-by-step process of creating an abstract low poly planet by modeling it in cinema 4D. You will learn how to create basic shapes, render your model so that you can save it as an image, or import it into Adobe Photoshop, where you can add some final touches to make your illustration stand out.
