Nicely done man, did you draw in the triangles of the poly sphere in Photoshop or all in C4d?

The sphere and array of smaller spheres around it (including lines) are all C4D. The smaller, slightly transparent triangles were done in Photoshop with the pen tool on its shape mode. Then I just adjusted the opacity. Glad you like it

Looks really awesome! What are the lines around the ball called, and how did you do it?

It is done in Cinema 4D. I took a plain sphere (305 cm radius) and added the "atom array" effect to it. So that the sphere is contained within the array.
Like so:
ATOM ARRAY
|
-- SPHERE
All I did after that is set object properties in the array to:
Cylinder Radius: .3 cm
Sphere Radius: 3cm
Subdivisions: 10

I should also point out that the sphere is set to type: tetrahedron. Different settings give a new effect.

When I get some free time, possibly this weekend I'll try to make one.

This is awesome, New wallpaper hehe.
Just a question, how do you make that second circle frame thingy, It looks awesome and I would love to use it in my projects. c:

In Cinema 4D it's a sphere put inside an "Atom Array."

Thank you c:
Now to tweak it to look good! haha
Might I ask how you did your lighting?

I'm about to head off this morning, but it's a 3 point setup. Spotlight angled in the front left. A "window" light to the front right, small soft box with an array to make it look like a window (or use an alpha testure.) A softbox light to the back left.
Spotlight is 1620% luminance with 100% diffusion, window light is 218% luminance, and the softbox is 380% luminance. All white.
Then just a white floor under it all for something to bounce off.

Dude, this looks amazing. I've been looking to get into Cinema 4D, but never knew where to start. Can you suggest any tutorials/resources?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I literally just got into it. I started off with just Googling random things like "awesome cinema 4d tutorials" haha. Some good sites are CreativeCOW, Greyscalegorilla, and cg.tutsplus. I'd look into Lynda too, they might have some free tutorials. Just Google and see what you can find!

Ooh, thanks man! That's what I've been doing too, I didn't know if you found a fantastic new resource.

Let me know if you find anything really awesome. I'd love to check it out.

Nice, I see this going really well with some rainmeter skins.

I'm thinking about it. I had fun! Thanks a lot.

Nice work. Of course, you can always improve on the reflective cliche. The reason for that is that Cinema 4D always renders out those same reflections.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that's a good point. The reflection doesn't make much sense considering the subject. Thank you for the feedback!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is not that the reflection is pointless. It's simply how Cinema 4D renders its reflection. In Photoshop is where I do my post work. BTW, the whole thing is wonderful.

Oh, I'd setup a studio type thing with two softboxes, one being a window, and a spot light. It's from some tutorial I'd seen haha, probably why it looks so typical.

You just reminded me of my photography classes. xD

Yeah, sounds about right!

BTW, stick to this sort of digital work I think you'll do great. Then again am a futurist.
