Intro to Primitives - Wed, Jan 15, 8:30 am-11:10am

Today was my first day using Cinema 4D. I began with learning about adding shapes and moving them around using their linear XYZ axis. It was a bit of a hassle making sure the objects didn't overlap one another.

Next was rendering and textures. I added textures on each shape I used to see how they would play in an environment. (I tried to pick textures based on the shape, i.e. the sphere is a baseball, the cylinder is a cork) I gave the oil can a reflective surface to see how the other objects would reflect upon it.

Lastly, I added lights and shadows. I like the dynamic lighting and dark shadows that came out of this; it makes the environment seem very dramatic.

I can't wait to see what I can make out of what I have learned so far.
