3dResources>Modeling: Simple Glass
level: beginner
A very easy tutorial on how to model a simple glass (or a bottle a plate...) using spline in cinema 4d.
Open a new document by starting up Cinema 4D or go to File > New
Switch to front view by pressing F4. Now we are in the starting position for our glass modeling.
Let's start by making a spline object. By doing this your will be able to make the outlines of the glass.
Do this by Objects > Spline Object Now select the "Point Tool" by going to Tools > Point
You can also use your quick menu on your left side of the screen. When you do you need to press the following icon.
Let's start creating the glas now. By pressing your CTRL key on your keyboard and using your left mouse button you can make points that will form the glass later.
Get your spline points on the same spot as I did. You can see it in the image below.
Now that the first side of our glass is defined we are going to make it round and give it volume. Here for we will use "Lathe NURBS"
Lathe NURBS will take the line you created and make a 360 degree turn with your form but then solid.
