Digital Tutors - Creating Illustrations Using 3D Objects in Photoshop and CINEMA 4D

Duration 3h 11m Project Files Included MP4

Throughout these lessons we'll combine functionality from Photoshop and CINEMA 4D to create an abstract 3D illustration that feels like it was painted. You will learn how to create several types of abstraction, manipulate shading in Photoshop and build a complex form from multiple objects. By the end of the tutorial, you will have learned how form, color, and light can be used to build a visually engaging abstraction.
