I'm meant to be learning Cinema4D, but my current method of work at home (following along with internet tutorials, and occasionally doing something that sparks my interest) isn't getting me too far right now, since I'm not answering to anyone and don't feel pushed to actually accomplish anything with a goal. This is where you guys can help; I'm trying to do something in the program every day when I get in, and would love it if you could all send me little ideas straight off the top of your head that you'd like to see: basic items to model, effects, that sort of thing. If I know there's someone on the other end waiting for a result, I'll actually be motivated properly, and such benefited with learning more quickly.

TL;DR - Tell me things to model in 3D

Which way up?

Does the hat go on the glans or the balls?

The hat goes on the glans, the mustache on the balls and I don't think I have to tell you where the monocle goes.

"Wow, five ideas on the thread already" I thought.

Anyway, serious suggestions, please.

Also, caustics are pretty.

I want my moustached, monocled, top hat wearing, googly-eyed phallus modelled and modelled now.

I didn't mention which Enterprise tho, I imagine Pix will do the D variant.

Or piss fanboys off and make either the NX-01 or the JJ-prise :P.

STOP SUGGESTING COMPLEX THIIIINGS

In all seriousness though, I'm looking to learn new things, not spend 5 hours a day crafting each individual detail on an object. For example, just finished this for someone at work (based on 'a diamond':

I learnt about:
- Triangulating/untriangulating faces
- Weld Tool
- Loop Selection
- Caustics
- Volumetric Lighting

Give me something with an interesting process, material or even animation.

Think of a nice object, since they're usually simpler than characters; Zelda fan? Try making a nice Master Sword. Half-Life more to you liking? Not seen anyone model a crowbar, or maybe even a headcrab, in a while.

Take your ideas from things you enjoy, games you like playing, or if there's something you think is really cool in your room, model that.

It's not a lack of ideas that's the problem, it's the fact that I'm not answering to anyone. Once I promise someone else I'll make them something, that gives me a more than sufficient boot to do learn the skills and do it (which I should be doing anyway for work purposes), since I'll feel I'd have let them down by not achieving it.

Is that even possible? I mean, most of the time Tom's viewed side-on. If we're diving into that particular territory (as a one-off), I'd request the colourful diamonds on each Elements of Harmony Necklace/Crown. They'd be absolutely beautiful if 3D modelled.

The diamond one looks lovely - I wouldn't say quite realistic but for a first attempt, pretty damn close.

Things to model. As tempted as I am to second Crowley, I forget who and who isn't a fan of the ponies, so I'm not going to suggest that. Maybe just google random words like "vase" or something, ask people for a random word. Not penis though, that's just silly. And too detailed for Pix. :P

WHAT THE SHIT THAT'S NOT REAL (I have never come across that before, that is amazing)

Do the EN Spectre! Then I can steal it and use it in the comic in future so I don't have to draw the bloody thing. Oh wait, less selfish reasons... You can do toon shading? You can animate it going into cloak? I can steal it?
