Pedo's Abstract Guide

Programs You Will Need


Step 1)
Okay. First, open up C4D. Now, go to Objects>Primitive>Sphere.
Image

Step 2)
Now that you have your object, you have to edit it. Click the grid on the left side that I overlined. Now, press "C" on your keyboard (This makes it editable). Right click anywhere on your sphere, and go to magnet.
Image

Step 3)
Okay, now this is where the fun starts! Click and drag on your sphere to make it stretch. Keep doing that until you find something you like. After you've done this, right click your shape and click matrix exclude.
Image

Step 4)
After clicking matrix exclude, click and hold somewhere on your shape and go to the left. Only do this once! Now, right click your shape and go to bevel.
Image

Step 5)
Click and drag around your shape until you get something crazy you enjoy. Now go to Tools>Camera.
Image

Step 6)
Okay, now that you've clicked camera, you can change the view. Click the second icon I have overlined in the picture. To zoom out, click and drag to the left. After getting a good view, click the third icon. Now click and drag in any direction to get a good view you want. When you have what you want, go to Render>View Render As Picture.

Step 7)
So, you see something you like? Now, take a screenshot. You can do this by clicking the Print Screen Sys Rq button at the top of your keyboard. It is near the F12 button. Open Microsoft Paint and go to the select tool which looks like a dotted square. Right click the white spot and go to paste. Use the select tool to surround the image that is there. Right click it and go to cut.
Image

Step 8)
Now, in Microsoft Paint, right click the white screen and go to paste.
Image

Step 9)
After that, go save it as a Bitmap Image (.bmp).
Image

Step 10)
So, you have your image, now you need to convert it. You will need to do this because Imageshack (as well as most image hosts) doesn't allow Bitmaps. Open up your Easy Graphic Converter. After opening it, go to add filed and look for your image. Now go to settings>output format and select Portable Networks Graphic (.png). Now go to settings>output directory and select where you want to place your new image.
Image

Step 11)
So, you have your image. Now to upload it! If you want to upload it, go to Imageshack and go to browse and find your image. Now go to host, which is a button under the browse button. A page will appear with lots of codes. Go to the one at the very bottom and highlight it, right click, and select copy. To post it on a forum, press [img]then%20right%20click%20and%20go%20to%20paste,%20then%20press[/img].

Congratz!
You have made an abstract in C4D! Now, if you have photoshop, do a little brushing up!
