Bespoke Maxon Cinema 4D - 1 Day Introduction

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 1 day beginners course, we show you the fundamentals of Maxon Cinema 4D, and by the end of the course, you'll already be able to create your own 3D designs and character animations, and you will be beginning to move towards an understanding of the more sophisticated features of the software.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is intended for designers who have little or no experience of any 3D programs.

You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). Ideally you should have some knowledge of other computer graphics software such as Photoshop or Illustrator, but these are not essential.
