MODELING
In the world of “Motion” Cinema 4D is the standard software with a flexible interface and very easy to understand and even has customized features in it. Cinema 4d gives you many tools for modeling by using all you can explore creativity.
1: knife tool helps in plan cut, loop cut, and line cut
2:Polygon pen tool helps on creating a polygon, snap to edge, modeling arc, extrude, draw rows, rotate edges and much more
3:extrude tool gives you ease to extend any part you want in any direction and according to your model
4:Bevel tool helps you to be constant in speed by softening every hard edge without adding any subdivisions
5:Mesh check tool highlight and clear all faulty parts in modeling
6:Parametric Modeling Is simple means you can make changes at any time before a second you do a task. Cinema 4d helps you by providing a wide range of options in parametric modeling.
7: revolutionary setup of cinema 4d is Mograph panel, no doubt, sets of tools made for game changers and a creative person, especially for motion designers. In the mograph, the set of tools are highly creative, easy to use, and has lots of options to get the result you want.
8:Modeling with a deformer gives you ease to work non-destructively and can make changes in no time according to client instructions. It can bend, twist, bulge, tapper, and many other tasks without any destruction
9:Spline Modeling technique is powerful for technical and complex modeling .extrude, sweep and lathe makes your whole object completed
MATERIAL ASSIGNMENT
The material assignment is a technical task that the cinema makes 4d very easy and fast. Cinema 4d provides you different ways to assign material to your object and make it as realistic as nature. There are natural presets available that make your work easy and faster. Cinema 4d provides you various attributes to customize your material as well. You can also download and set your liking presets.
By right-clicking on creating you have an option of “node material that gives you access to cinema 4d, automatic presets including (car paint, ceramic, concrete, granite, cutout, gold, emission, rock, wood, metal, and much more). Cinema 4d gives you control to play with (DIFFUSION, LUMINANCE, TRANSPARENCY, REFLECTANCE, GLOW, DISPLACEMENT), and all of each attribute.
TEXTURING
Texturing brings life into your model and gives detailed meaning to your product to make it eye-catchy and attractive. Help your audience to recall your product in a different category. No doubt this is somehow complex, but cinema 4d made it very easy for us with Bp-UV editor and with texture mode.
By right-clicking on the texture tag you have full control to make this task easy and fast according to your model. It has various texture modes like cylinder, spherical, cube, frontal, flat, UV Mapping, Shrinking wrapping, Camera mapping, etc. In the coordination section, you can also play with the position, sizes, and rotation.
Moreover, you can animate all properties according to the client’s instructions for animation.
ANIMATION
Any object in graphics that can move is an animated object. You can say product animation is the need for 2020. And in upcoming years it will decide the future of the top leading product in a marketplace.
People are not only buying the product they need, even research has shown that 40 to 80 percent of people buy a product by impulse buying behavior. This is the reason that product animation plays a vital role in attacking your 40 to 80 percent of the customer.Cinema 4d provides a professional method of animation with a lot of control in terms of D-Sheet, F-Curves, Motion Clips with a flexible user interface.
With that, you can animate whatever you want including product animation, character animation, particle simulation, and much more.
12 PRINCIPALS OF ANIMATIONS
For realistic animation, you have to learn “Disney’s twelve basic principles of animation” that were introduced in 1981. Squash and Stretch, Anticipation, Staging, Straight Ahead Action and Pose-to-Pose, Follow Through and Overlapping Action, Ease In, Ease Out, Arcs, Action, Timing, Exaggeration, Solid Drawing, Appeal

UNWRAPPING
Unwrapping is a very effective technique for use for texturing. In Cinema 4d you have control in terms of Bp UV editor to unwrap your product and then you can set texture according to accurate mathematical expression.
LIGHTING
In cinema 4D almost nine types of different lighting setup (light, target light, light, sunlight, lighting tool, spotlight, PBR light, area light, and infinite light) are available that help you to give a realistic look to your product render. In each lighting setup, you have a different attribute( colors, shadow, intensity, diffuse, specular, clusters, noise, lense, visibility) to play with and get the result you want.
VISUAL EFFECTS
Mostly this term is used in filmmaking, action movies, and web series as well. These effects expand the creativity level of filmmakers and artists and give them full control of the action. Well, cinema 4D is also a good source of creating these effects in your animation by using the Mograph panel, its attributes, and many other features.
RENDERING
Cinema 4d has a wide range of render options that render color, effects, animation, shadow, reflections, 23\3d models and generate a highly realistic result of production. It can Render 16-bits and 32-bits color depth.
Cinema 4D has an option of a physical Render that can render the active project in the picture viewer. By left-click on it, you can also select a region or specific area of rendering.
By left-clicking on the render setting, you have access to the various option to play with to get a satisfying result. you can set your project output width, height, Resolution according to the client’s requirement, It also has a lot of formats to save a file like pdf, PSD, jpg, png, mp4, etc.
