Check out these totally amazing 3d alphabet art sculptures which are fantastic for making custom logo and header designs designed by FLOREAL!
FOREAL is a design studio founded by Benjamin Simon and Dirk Schuster based out of Trier, Germany. In a recently published project on Behance entitled, The Sculpted Alphabet, the team at FOREAL use CGI sculpting techniques to create a unique alphabet.
In their project description, the team mentions:
New tools, new playgrounds. One single rule: Choose a letter and sculpt it! Maxon gave us its new sculpting tools with the last releases of Cinema 4D. Our goal was to create the whole alphabet and achieve some completely new ways how type can be built and seen. A playful execution of that self-initiated project helped us to gain some significant experience in cgi sculpting techniques while having a lot of fun.
You can find the entire alphabet on Behance. To see more from FOREAL check them out at the online links below.

About Cinema 4d
CINEMA 4D is a 3D modeling, animation and rendering application developed by MAXON Computer GmbH of Friedrichsdorf, Germany. It is capable of procedural and polygonal/subd modeling, animating, lighting, texturing, rendering, and common features found in 3D modelling applications.
Four variants are currently available from MAXON: a core CINEMA 4D ‘Prime’ application, a ‘Broadcast’ version with additional motion-graphics features, ‘Visualize’ which adds functions for architectural design and ‘Studio’, which includes all modules. CINEMA 4D runs on Windows and Macintosh PCs.
Initially, CINEMA 4D was developed for Amiga computers in the early 1990s, and the first three versions of the program were available exclusively for that platform. With v4, however, MAXON began to develop the program for Windows and Macintosh computers as well, citing the wish to reach a wider audience and the growing instability of the Amiga market following Commodore’s bankruptcy.
Modules
Up until Release 11.5, Cinema 4D had a modular approach to the application, with the ability to expand upon the core application with various modules. This ended with Release 12, though the functionality of these modules remains in the various flavors of Cinema 4D (Prime, Broadcast, Visualize, Studio) The old modules were:
##Advanced Render (global illumination/HDRI, caustics, ambient occlusion and sky simulation)
##BodyPaint 3D (direct painting on UVW meshes; now included in the core. In essence Cinema 4D Core/Prime and the BodyPaint 3D products are identical. The only difference between the two is the splash screen that is shown at startup and the default user interface.)
##Dynamics (for simulating soft body and rigid body dynamics)
##Hair (simulates hair, fur, grass, etc.)
##MOCCA (character animation and cloth simulation)
##MoGraph (Motion Graphics procedural modelling and animation toolset)
##NET Render (to render animations over a TCP/IP network in render farms)
##PyroCluster (simulation of smoke and fire effects) ##With CINEMA 4D R10, the module PyroCluster became integrated in the Advanced Render module
##Sketch & Toon (tools for cel shading, cartoons and technical drawings)
##Thinking Particles (enhanced particle system based on nodes)
##Xpresso (is not and never has been a module, it is a core functionality)
As of Release 13, Cinema 4D comes in 4 components:
##Prime (the core application)
##Broadcast (adds MoGraph2)
##Visualize (adds Virtual Walkthrough, Advanced Render, Sky, Sketch and Toon, data exchange, camera matching)
##Studio (the complete package)
