In this lesson we will model the first part of the first building using a variety of modeling techniques.
Modeling the First Building - Part 27:24
In this lesson we will finish modeling the first building and we will get it ready for the texturing process.
Texturing the First Building7:40
In this lesson we will texture the first building using simple Cinema 4D materials and selection sets.
Adding Shades to the First Building14:14
In this lesson we will model and texture some shades for our first building. A simple way to make it look better.
Practice Activities - Section 2
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

Modeling the Second Building - Part 111:47
In this lesson we will begin modeling the second building. For this building we will recycle some elements from the first one and we will model new elements.
Modeling the Second Building - Part 218:15
In this lesson we will finish modeling and texturing the second building.
Practice Activities - Section 3
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

Modeling the Third Building - Part 112:49
Model a third low-poly building from a fresh cube, edit vertices and polygons, apply extrusions and knife tools, then assign shaded materials to roof, frames, and windows.
Modeling the Third Building - Part 212:10
Finish modeling the third building in Cinema 4D by creating and adjusting geometry, text, textures, windows, and roof details, then group, rename, and render.
Practice Activities - Section 4
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

Modeling the Fourth Building - Part 110:12
Build a low-poly Cinema 4D building by extruding, shaping windows and doors, and using connect and weld workflows to form a Spanish-style house.
Modeling the Fourth Building - Part 211:36
Finish modeling the fourth building in Cinema 4D by extruding polygons, welding edges, and centering components. Add window shades and a distinct roof, then render.
Texturing the Fourth Building6:57
Texture the fourth building in cinema 4d by creating and applying materials, organizing selection sets for frames, walls, and windows, and refining textures with gradients and color variations.
Practice Activities - Section 5
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

C4D Backups4:08
Learn how to create and manage Cinema 4D backups by saving, copying to a dedicated backups folder, renaming versions, and restoring from the latest file to safeguard against data loss.
Modeling the Fifth Building19:28
Model the fifth building in Cinema 4D by duplicating, organizing layers and materials, refining polygons, merging parts, applying materials, adding windows and a roof, and rendering.
Modeling the Sixth Building9:29
Duplicate the existing building to form the base, apply new materials to walls, center a rotated cylinder dome, weld vertices, and reuse a previous model to create the sixth building.
Practice Activities - Section 6
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

Modeling a Gas Station - Part 112:54
In this lesson we will model a gas station. We will use one of the previous buildings as the base and we will create additional elements to complete the building.
Modeling a Gas Station - Part 213:31
In this lesson we will texture the gas station that we createdin the previous lesson.
Practice Activities - Section 7
A short list of activities that will help you reinforce your new knowledge and will lead you to become a better 3D artist.

Requirements

Students taking this course should know the basics of Cinema 4D and 3D in general.
Students should have Cinema 4D installed in their computers (any version).
Students must have a desire to learn and practice new 3D skills starting from Day 1.

Description

In this course you will learn the process of creating beautiful low poly buildings in Cinema 4D. We will start with an empty file and work our way up to modeling and texturing 8 different low poly buildings.

We will use a variety of modeling techniques and also a recycling method that will help you save lots of time in this and any other project you work in the future.

We will also use different selection sets to be able to texture our objects without the need of UV mapping.

This course focuses on creating the different buildings you can see in the promo video, but you can use the techniques you learn here to create any other low poly building you desire.

I’m confident that at the end of this course you will have a solid understanding of the low poly modeling process and you will be able to start creating your own amazing 3D art.

Who this course is for:

This course is for people interested in modeling high quality low poly objects in Cinema 4D.
This course is for anyone interested in improving their Cinema 4D skills.
This course is for 3D sudents who want to take their skills to the next level.
This course is for beginners and intermediate students.
