ASSIGNMENTS
- ASSIGNMENT “Time-Image Sequence”: Create 4 images in C4D that create a sense of progression or time passing or narrative. Try different views (close-ups of details vs. distant perspective), and/or try adding or removing elements in your scene between each image. Lay out your four images into a single image — feel free to be creative with your layout, by changing the size or cropping your images. (We’re starting to know some cool C4d techniques — global illumination, depth of field, interesting lighting — try to make your images look REALLY good!)
