About the event
Course Details
Description:
In this course we will learn how to use more sophisticated tools in Cinema 4D to create complex models, better lighting, advanced texturing, more photorealistic renders and better scene optimizing. We will also take a first look at Mograph, C4D’s motion graphics power tools.
Prerequisites:
This class is appropriate for intermediate level users. Bringing samples of the kinds of projects that you would like to be able to do is helpful but not required. We also recommend that you have the software installed before starting the class. You can purchase the software or obtain a trial version of it from the Maxon web site at www.maxon.net.
