In this Cinema 4D tutorial, we go through creating a cool text effect where the glass front is separate from the hollow plastic backing. We have a look at a bit of simple Xpresso which enables really easy changes to the text. Next, we light the scene and put the bolts and screw holes in.
I can now add that the creator of the original image is Jon Buckly and his site is jonbuckley.com
