Learn to create compositions integrating characters and typography, from the sketch to the final render

Perhaps, the name of Aaron Martinez-illustrator and 3D designer-is familiar to you from other courses such as Design of characters in Cinema 4D: from sketch to 3D printing or Prototyping and product visualizations in Cinema 4D . In them I taught you to design behind the screen, and in this course, in addition to teaching you how to create 3D illustrations in Cinema 4D, it will show you how to use in different media.

You will learn about their 3D illustration process, from the creation of an idea to the final render. In addition, it will explain how to adapt your design to different media: a printed poster, a moving poster, banners for social networks and stickers.
