Cinema 4D Complete : Vol. 3 Unleash the power of Mograph!
This video training is the first volume of the most complete Cinema 4D online course you will find !
You’ll dive into the basics of Cinema 4D, and how to get a good understanding of the core concept of this wonderful 3D application.
I’m Lionel Vicidomini, a Maxon Certified Instructor and Motion Designer based in Paris, France. I believe that in order to truly master a software you have to learn it by the details. I have created this training, the first one of a series, to create a video manual of Cinema 4D and to be the most thorough possible while being entertaining.
