The software itself is highly complicated but very rewarding. I really enjoyed my experience in the class with Ricardo, he was very knowledgable and was acommodating to my online tuition experience both in a classroom with other students and in the private session. Look forward to developing my knowledge of Cinema 4D would recommend this course.

A great follow up to the introductory course - expanded on existing knowledge and explored more complicated functions in C4D's toolkit. Ricardo gave a lot of encouragement to experiment and have fun, while explaining the content thoroughly and clearly. Overall very enjoyable and insightful - lot's of new knowledge to take forwards into personal and commercial projects!

Overall very happy with the course. I especially liked how Riccardo paused while we were writing notes to ensure we didn't miss anything.

Great, comprehensive course that covered and de-mysitified lots of previously unknown or confusing areas of using C4D at basic to early-intermediate level. Out instructor, Ricardo, was very friendly and highly-knowledgeable, plus shared stories and examples related to each task based on in his own professional experience. Lots was covered in a short space of time without being over-whelming and everyone invovled seemed to have fun and be on the same level by the end of the two days. Very enjoyable!

Ricardo was a very enthusiastic and knowledgable instructor - he made it easy and fun to follow. Even after 2 days, I feel I have a much better understanding of Cinema 4D. He tailored the course content to make it more in line with what we do - animation. The only comment I'd say is prior to the training I had asked about our bespoke training to include how we can use Cinema 4D and After Effects together and best practice for workflow using the two programmes - which wasn't included in the course.

I found the Redshift course quite difficult to watch and follow along to at the same time. We kept asking our instructor to start again as we had become lost or confused. Which he always did. There are so many hidden settings to try and understand and even worse, to try and remember! A lot of these settings need to be activated in a certain order or will not work. It would be incredibly useful to have some kind of video reference to refer back to or provided notes that will act as a reminder. I tried to jot notes down as we went, however I doubt they will help me at all in a couple of months time. It is a very technical subject. Our instructor knew his subject inside-out and created some brilliant examples of how the tools can work and I have come away with a much broader understanding of the software. I just hope that I can remember how to use some of these techniques when I need them.

Ricardo was fantastic, thorough, concise and helpful. Really great for starting out in 3D. He can sometimes be a bit quick with instructions but doesn't help that I am remote. Overall it was really great.
