Applications of 3D

There are a range of outlets that Cinema 4D can be used for such as; product design, animation, TV, film, games and interactive, education and architecture. I will be discussing why they use cinema 4D.

Product Design
Cinema 4D is used in product design so that they can see the finished product before they make it so that if they decide to improve on the designs, they haven't wasted a large amount of money only to scrap it and can just change the model. It can also be used to decide on measurements so that when the designers do make the product they will have the correct measurements and can avoid having to remake the product. Gtech uses cinema 4D to help design their multi cordless vacuum and it's various parts and measurements.



Animation
Animation is used to show movement. If you modelled something for a company that would have to move for example a toy, you would show how the toy moved using animation. You could also animate a person to make them look like they are moving the toy to show how it would have to move with a person. This gives the design of a product a more realistic viewpoint and helps designers understand how the product is meant to move.




TV
Cinema 4D is used to create CGI in a wide range of television outlets. They can be used as logos, special effects and adverts. MTV used cinema 4D to create a logo full of moving objects that look realistic but wouldn't have moved the same if they had used the actual objects. An advantage of using cinema 4D though is that the end results looks so realistic that some people can't tell the difference between models and actual objects.



Film
Cinema 4D used in film is similar to how it is used in television. It is majorly used though to create objects that don't exist for example the Chitauri army in the Avengers. It is also used to create animated movies as it is easier to create and animate in cinema 4D than it is to create clay models and manually move them frame by frame, this would also save a lot of time. Cinema 4D also allows a sort of realism that clay objects can't achieve and thus produce greater results.



Game & Interactive
Games use cinema 4D to create realistic and sometimes obviously non realistic games. The use of cinema 4D is so that characters, scenes or miscellaneous items can be edited and perfected before the game is has been made so that they won't have to scrap everything. This means they can get scale, measurements and detail all edited to make the game as realistic as needed.



Education
Cinema 4D can be used to educate the masses as well. Technology has advance so much that people are usually using a computer for something, so it would be easier to teach them by creating animated lessons and putting them on youtube or other popular websites. This would help children learn as they have a low attention span so if the animation was playing on youtube it would keep their attention more than a person droning on at them in person. My example of an animated lesson is controversial to my point as it explains why people should't be using all this technology but it supports my point because I have learned from it and it is using cinema 4D to teach me.



Architectural
Cinema 4D is used widely when it comes to architecture. It is mainly used to plan out how the building would look and what measurements will be needed so that when it comes to building it, they will know exactly what they need and less mistakes will be made if any. This would also save money as they will only have to pay for what they need and if less mistakes are made then less money will be used to repair and if no mistakes are made then no extra money is used.
