Modeling Hard Surface Organic Forms, Creating a Glass Pitcher in Cinema 4D

By June 21, 2013No Comments

Pete Maric in working with complex forms demonstrates modeling a glass pitcher in Cinema 4D starting to use Splines to create NURBS shapes.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to model a pitcher in Cinema 4D. In this video I will demonstrate modeling of the pitcher with a spline and lathe NURBS

Pete makes the top lip of the pitcher by making the surface editable and sculpting vertices, and uses the Explosion FX Deformer to add thickness to the pitchers wall which will give the proper refraction when rendering.

Pete also covers how to model the handle using sweep NURBS and controlling the thickness with the scale curves.
