Process and Production - Cinema 4D Prototyping (extended)

After the last process and production session in C4D I wanted to take this further and add my own designs to the can and bottle; so I started to experiment in Illustrator using the templates Jay provided in the workshop. I thought about names etc for the branding and once I had the designs I placed them on to the can and bottle in C4D. 

Whilst in C4D I experimented with the background colours and the colour of the glass bottle to see what worked well with the designs. For the bottle I decided to brand an ale and although I tend to think they have a dark glass for the bottle I wanted a transparent bottle. 

For both the can and bottle I duplicated them so that I could show different sides of the product in the same shot. 

Overall I enjoyed creating these in C4D as I feel it looks quite professional when showing mockups of products; during the course of the sessions with Jay I have learnt a lot more about this software and developed skills I would have never have had without them.

Here are my experiments:
