Bespoke Maxon Cinema 4D - 2 Day Intermediate

Course Details

Maxon Cinema 4D is a flexible and powerful modelling, animation, and rendering tool, used to create a wide variety of images, including special effects, broadcast titles, character animations, and more. This impressively fast 3D modelling, animation, and ray-tracing application provides you with the opportunity to work within an object-oriented and multi-threaded architecture - yet despite its tremendous sophistication, the ease with which the software can be used is another advantage of using Maxon Cinema 4D.

In our Intermediate course, we will start to go through some of the more powerful tools that Cinema 4D has to offer such as Hair, fur, and grass; cartoon sketch rendering styles, mograph and physics animations. Also covered will be how to produce faster renders and more realistic imagery to blur the lines between computer graphics and photos.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is intended for those who wish to enhance their existing knowledge of Cinema 4D.

You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). Ideally you will have taken our Cinema 4D Introduction course, however all are welcome to jump into this intermediate course so long as you are comfortable using the basic tools within the application.
