so this was the final render out of the 3d package cinema 4d of a 2d to 3d project i did today.
This was the original scan set. They were changed in Photoshop the levels were adjusted to make the all black and white only so that the could be taken into illustrator and live traced.
Once live traced they were saved and exported as illustrator 8 files and imported into cinema 4d, where they where extruded and made into 3d shapes.
Then a lighting studio was setup and materials where applied and finely tuned with the lighting to give the desired effect.
The enitial chat with the person who wanted these doing gave me the idea for the lighting setup straight away.
It coinsided with a load of videos i had recently been watching on setting up lighting in cinema 4d and was a good test of what i new of cinema currently.
This was done over a period of 5 hours and discusions with lecturers etc.
