Okay, I'm trying to learn Cinema 4D. I've been using After Effects for many years, so I wanted to try my hand in an actual 3D program. Here is my first attempt at Cinema 4D. By the way, I work as an Assistant Producer for a government cable station, so that's why it says "Livonia Television," it's for Livonia, Michigan.

The first image looks pretty cool, second one looks slightly off or unfinished? I dont know what your plan was on that one. But overall for a first attempt i would give em both 8/!0 when I first tried a few years back I gave up, lol

I'll have to go with esperanton that one. I like how the first one turned out but there is something odd with the second. What happen to the first word? There is like a line at the bottom, was this on purpose or just a reflection mishap?

Thanks for the comments, guys. For the one that says "Livonia Television," the face of "Livonia" was definitely a reflection issue. That piece was more of a focus on the environment and the lights, than it was on the object. It's an easy fix to correct it. I'm just messing around in the program for now. I feel like I shouldn't have even posted it up, haha.

Okay, I updated the first post with a couple more samples of exploring in Cinema 4D. I gotta say, this is addicting.
