This free online Cinema 4D - Creating Low Poly Models on Alison.com is designed to provide people at all levels the knowledge, skills, and technique required to create low poly models using the Cinema 4D software. Cinema 4D is a desktop application software used to create low poly models. We begin with an introduction and a quick overview of Cinema 4D. You will learn about all the vital tools needed for creating models, and then you will be shown how to use the tools discussed to create a low poly wolf and a low poly background. We will cover the importance of applying light to the scene. Next, you will learn how to create a background for the models. We'll show you how to save the design and import it into Adobe Photoshop for enhancements and render the low poly designs. This will include knowing the types of render settings to make to get the best out of your designs.
The primary tools used in the Cinema 4D modelling environment are the move tool, the scale tool and the rotation tool. We will show you how each tool is used to create a low poly planet which will entail how to create and manipulate 3D shapes. You will learn how to make the landscapes, river, mountain, and trees for the planet. We also cover selective colour and how to apply it to the models. Finally, we'll show you how to apply the learned skills and techniques to create a low poly tree. This will include how to design rough sketches of the tree in Adobe Photoshop. These sketches will be used as a reference for the actual design in Cinema 4D. Next, you will be shown how to model the tree. This includes creating the trunk, branches, and leaves, followed by steps to render the design and some tips and tricks to enhance the design in Photoshop.
