With the help of a tutorial, artists can import vector artwork from a 2D logo and will learn how to build it up to a geometric 3D model. They will be able to use a free plugin to shatter the logo geometry, and a module named MoGraph to animate it, thereby helping to render the scene.

Readers will learn the important rules of operation that carry over throughout the entire application. They will learn to build a 3D logo from vector artwork and shatter a 3D object using a free 3D plugin. Using a special camera rig used by motion graphics professionals, readers will learn to light a 3D scene in Cinema 4D and set up the physical render engine in Cinema 4D to achieve a photorealistic effect effortlessly.

This book has been designed in such a way that artists with no prior experience in Cinema 4D will also find it as an excellent tutorial. The book is out now and is available with Packt. For more information, please visit the book page at Instant Cinema 4D Starter
