I love to test and learn new techniques. At the same time I try to convert the invested time and the newly gained knowledge into income. Therefore, the final goal is to combine these challenges and to turn them into a saleable end product.
The goal was to create a 3D asset inside cinema 4d in order to use it afterwards with the plugin 3D Element in After Effects. The final product should be an After effects template.
The workflow included modelling the box (not too hard ;), uv unwrapping and creating a photoshop file where you can easily customize the artwork. And afterwards of course the compositing in after effects. The main focus here was on lightning and shading in element 3d. I also used the free tool "materialize". With this tool it is possible to create a normal map and use it in element 3d.
For those who want to see the finished after effects project of the template, here is the link to a short "how to use" tutorial:
If you are interested in the whole creation workflow, you can take a look at my tutorial, which explains the complete workflow step by step.
