Bottle and Can Designs

Using Cinema 4D to create a 3D version of a can and bottle. We first used Illustrator to draw out the outline of the shapes which we transferred into Cinema 4D. We had a choice of designing our own can our using the templates provided. I decided to use templates for the designs as this then would allow me to develop my work further.





Using the lathe tool to transform our 2D shape into a 3D object it was quite difficult and challenging as i was still trying to get the hang of the software. 



Using different camera angles and reflections It helped me to create a shadow behind my can and bottle using a plain grey background so the focus is all on the design and the shadow can be seen. 



A challenging task I was pleased with the outcome yet I feel i need to still improve and learn a lot about this software as I still find it quite difficult to use independently, and are always in need of support and guidance.
