Cinema 4D Al Majaz, Sharjah

Course details

 CINEMA 4D R16 (C4D) is a vital tool for motion graphics artists visual effects (VFX) artists, and animators alike.

This course covers key C4D concepts, such as object hierarchies and relationships, and the essential skills for modelling with primitive objects, splines and generator objects subdivision surfaces, and polygons. It also shows how to give your 3D models realistic-looking surfaces the kind of surfaces that make objects seem bumpy, metallic, shiny, or even transparent with materials and lighting. The course covers key frame animation, camera movement, and C4D's popular MO Graph module.
