Creating a Mug in Cinema 4D

This is me starting to make my cup by adding a Spline Primitive and scaling it down to a suitable thickness for a handle.

Here is what the base of the cup looks like once I have added my Lathe Nurbs and this happens to the mug because there is no geometry until you place the spline inside it.




Here is what the base of the mug looks like at all different angles and experimenting it with different kinds of angles and curve types and this allows you to produce more cups and mug shapes.


This is what the mug looks like now when the B-Spline has been added and the circle inside the cup and what I have done after this is added a Sweep Nurbs to the mug and the handle fits.


Here is the mug finished its an Espresso cup that would be used at a coffee shop such as Starbucks or Costa Coffee. 

What I really enjoyed about creating my cup on Cinema 4D was learning to use all the different tools in this program and also expanding my knowledge with using this program. What I struggled with doing this activity was the creating of the cup because it was difficult at the start to use all of the different tools and equipment but after the first couple of steps of creating the mug I started to understand how to use all the tools and I now feel more confident about using Cinema 4D.
