Introduction to 3D Sotware

After wanting to give this a go for years I've finally made the jump the 3D. Starting new software is something I always dread as it's frustrating and takes a lot of time.

The packages I played around with was Maya and Cinema 4D. After experimenting with both for around a month, following video tutorials I started to lean more towards cinema 4D. The package is much easier to use as I still find the UI of MAYA a little daunting even now; and it does everything I need it to at this stage. I'm currently using it at the moment for creating MoGraph text and simple animations such as moving text an that.

Anyways, back on track. This was the first render of Cinema 4D. Lighting was my main struggle with this, it looked aweful and had to be completly re-done in PS. Sinse this stage I'm now working better with lighting, making the most of reflectors, HDRI sky and Global Illumination.
