Create an Event Poster with C4D and Photoshop – Psd Plus Tutorial
May 13th in News by Miguel Santana da Silva
Learn Creative 3D Techniques in this Psd Plus Tutorial
This tutorial expands on "Using Typography from Photoshop to Create a 3D Text Render in C4D" in order to create a poster. We'll be modifying the scene, adding props and more text before heading over to Photoshop to finalize the poster design.

Precise and Detailed Instructions Inside
We'll start the tutorial where we left off the previous one, "Using Typography from Photoshop to Create a 3D Text Render in C4D." You will have three C4D scene files provided with this tutorial. The end scene of the previous tutorial containing just the text in the studio, a scene with the props needed to create this poster, and an end scene for the project, with everything in place to make the final render.
While the first part was roughly 50/50 C4D/Photoshop, this one will be considerably heavier on the C4D part, at roughly two thirds C4D. Photoshop is only used to complete the poster and retouch colors. This is a 3D heavy tutorial for Plus members.

I need to get into 3D again.

So totaly diffrent to the last Plus tuts….
I need to get me a plus membership
keep up the good work Miguel. stars the limit
( )Edward May 13th
Wait, from the casual look, this tutorial looks exactly the same, except with a backdrop and some text. Am I hallucinating?
( )Johnson Koh May 13th
Great piece of work
I like the part where the dummy was washed out of letter ‘O’
( )lawrence77 May 13th
excellent work….
………
Eye catching 3D
But a plus one
( )Lau May 13th
Hmm too bad i’m not a plus
( )pica-ae May 13th

The fusion of two psd tuts plus tuturials.
( )WOW
Paul_a_Reader May 13th
The second tutorial about 3D Techniques just for plus Members. I know that you have to pay your servers/writers etc. but I hate to see that the informative Tutorials are just for plus-Members. For example this one or the one about how to create a printable T-Shirt-Design.
( )For me as Free-Tutorial User there is no interesting stuff anymore. I started with the “Transparent Glass Lettering in Photoshop” Tutorial. And I am sad to tell you that this Tutorial, which I can’t even read, is my last one on this Page.
ricardo May 15th
dont be cheap man pay it i promise man is totally worth it. I hate to see people that think everything in life is free. Do you charge your clients?
( )Shaw May 13th
Amazing outcome. But couldn’t you do something similar using Illustrator and then Photoshop?
( )Franky May 13th
Once again. I would love to see this in Maya!
( )Kid May 13th
If you know how to use Maya you can incorporate the same techniques used in either programs.
Nice outcome BTW.
Im not a plus member but would be curious to know how long it took to render that final scene and at what dpi/dimensions?
( )John Dangerous May 14th
I bet that took 5 minutes to render. If you don’t have a lot of lines and details the render time is quick.
Chris May 13th
This one is really amazing and a nice blend of techniques. I am glad it is Plus only – makes me feel good about being a member. In fact, I wish more were Plus.
( )JesusFreak983! May 14th
I know! I totally agree! It DOES feel good to be a plus member!
( )ALL YOU NON-MEMBERS OUT THERE – GET WITH IT!
BECOME A MEMBER ALREADY!
Linus May 13th
aaah need to know how to make that water,
( )Jonathan May 13th
3D is cool. I use Illustrator for a lot of stuff but it only takes you so far. This is nice looking.
( )Palusko May 13th
I never realized how cool a simple biped skeleton can be! Certainly works great for this poster, makes it very dynamic. I am a plus member, so I will give it a try over the weekend (with 3ds Max). Cool result, I like it a lot.
( )BTW, is that a water or a paint? If water, it needs some material tweaks, if paint I probably wouldn’t put a guy in it and maybe make it ‘leak’ from several other letters too.
Either way, great job, thanks for the tutorial!
Volundr May 13th
I downloaded it for the liquid only really, and sadly it doesnt explain it. :\
( )Seth June 10th
I doubt it’s Cinema 4D. After a little research, it’s probably Realflow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpUpVQ_jyIU
( )bruno May 13th
I really can’t see how this is different from the last tutorial of the same author. He just grabbed a bunch of predefined dummies, added some more text and put a few splashes in photoshop. That’s it. I really can’t see why there’s a new tutorial (not only a tutorial, a plus tutorial) with so little.
( )Plamen Todoroff May 16th
Inspiration. Great tutorial BTW. I LOVE the outcome.
( )Dario Gutierrez May 13th
Look fantastic.
( )loswl May 13th
Love the final image, very good use of type, nice layout too and it fits very well with the given event

( )JohnONolan May 13th
This is SO cool. I really need to look at Cinema 4D – c4d.tutsplus.com anyone?
( )Diego SA May 13th
Great! What you’ve made with the O looks awesome!
( )Mike May 13th
What’s the name of that font?
( )tony May 13th
i second the c4d.tutsplus.com movement – there’s way too many shitty cinema/3D tuts sites out there, give us a good one!!
( )Johnny May 13th
can anyone plz show me how to bend the floor plane on cinema 4d plz!!
( )poi May 14th

Wow, what a new and different wicked Plus tut….really worth paying!
( )geir b nystad May 14th
you guy, if you not a plus member, why are you even complaining? you don´t pay anything so you have not lost anything. we who do pay, we are the one to complain!
anyway, i like this stuff, i just don´t have the money for C4D.
( )rieszkeee May 14th
really that would be AWESOMEE!!!!!
3D.tutsplus.com
??dont you agree ??? just some maya, C4D, 3ds Max, maybe Blender…
( )maybe something nice for in the future ??
Linus May 14th

hi everyone am a a regular visitor of this site from Nigeria, i’ve learnt a lot from this site & i still want take my skills to next level by joining PSD TUT PLUS. in Nigeria i dont know how to o about th PAYPAL stuff. pls can anyone hep me out. thanks
( )nomi September 14th
these 3d techniques are good and we suggest to every one.
( )Matt McRae September 18th
This is a great tutorial. HOWEVER be aware that in order to get the really sweet looking light effects on the text you need a plugin called VRay, which doesn’t come cheap. I had to just use C4D’s lighting and the text didn’t come out as well.
( )Mario September 28th
Hello Miguel!
First let me say that you have create a very nice tutorial…
I have only one question please. If i start to render the scene in C4D (part_2_end.c4d), i only get the rendered font and the figures but not the whole scene. What i´m doing wrong?
Thank´s for reply!
Regards, Mario

Try searching with this in the search field “Create an Event Poster with C4D and Photoshop” and it will show up. Thx.
( )George November 9th
I’ve followed your tutorial but I’m encountering a problem. When I “ctrl + r” to see the render image all the people have black skin. They don’t have that “woody” texture. What should i do?
