I don't know much about Blender, but I'm pretty sure you make c4d's in Cinema 4D, that's where the term "c4d" comes from.

Technically, you wouldn't be making a c4d, because a c4d is an abstract made with Cinema 4D.

YES DK BUT YOU CAN MAKE THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE C4DS IN BLENDER, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE OPEN SOURCE VERSION OF C4D

Sorry i got pizzed.

I think this might be something, idk if this is the right blender:

In the graphics world, C4D has two general meanings. One is the 3D software, Cinema 4D or C4d. The other, is an abstract image that was originally created with the C4D program, that generally has a metallic texture applied to it and is commonly used as a basis for signatures and large pieces. The term C4D, when applied to this abstract image, is pretty much irrelevant. You could call it "Shiny Jim" and if enough people liked the name, it would ultimately be called "Shiny Jim" and if someone referred to it otherwise, people would take offense. Kleenex is a brand name, yet most people think it's what a tissue is called. Band-aids too. C4D's appear to have reached this status....but only in graphics forums that are frequented by signature makers. If you go to a 3D website and ask about a C4D (the abstract), I can guarantee you that a good majority of the people won't have a clue that you're referring to an abstract; they'll be scratching their heads trying to figure out why you want to insert a program into a signature! :o

Why did I say all that? Certainly not to criticize the question and definitely not to be rude. Moreover, I bring this up to show that it's a name and a name only. Can you make a shiny 3D abstract in Blender? Absolutely! You can also use Art of Illusion (my 3D tool of choice - maybe one day I show you how to create them in less than 5 minutes). You can use any program that will allow you to add a metallic texture, randomly modify shapes, add a few lights. A friend of mine on another forum created a bunch of B4D's (his term) for Blender-created metallic abstracts.

So, go out, get you a 3D program and have fun. Call them whatever you want. C4D folks did!

Cheers!
