Description

This very practical training will teach you to master the interface and functionalities of the Cinema 4D environment. At the end of this course, you will be able to design a 3D object, give it a realistic rendering and create an animation from this object.

Who is this training for ?

For whom ?

Architects, designers, audiovisual technicians (editors, video riggers) and 2D and 3D computer graphics artists.

Prerequisites

Good knowledge of an operating system chart. Experience required.

Training objectives

Model objects with Cinema 4D

Prepare an object and its mesh

Dress an object with a redefined or personalized texture

Animate linked objects in a loop

Put into situation elements discussed in different scenes
