Learning Cinema 4D

Cinema 4D is a hugely popular 3D software application developed by Maxon and is used all over the world to create motion graphics, visual effects, product renders, medical, and architectural visualizations to name just a handful of examples. In this course, instructor Andy Needham helps you build a firm foundation of how Cinema 4D works, so you can be confident to take on more challenging projects. Andy introduces several key concepts, including the standard layout, navigating the 3D viewport effectively, moving objects in 3D, and the object hierarchy. He covers parametric objects and their attributes, as well as modifying objects with deformers, working with generators, and saving your work and the Cinema 4D file structure. Andy walks you through working with cameras, materials, and lights efficiently. Plus, he dives into rendering basics like common render settings and how to create preview renders and final renders.
