COURSE OF STUDY / SEPTEMBER 2018

Cinema 4D Basecamp

Cinema 4D is deep and can be tricky to learn. So I took this in-depth course to get up to speed with all of the key aspects of Cinema 4D.
The course included exercises and challenges based on the world of Motion Design, and using the software just like the pros do. With session-based courses and real Teaching Assistants there critiquing my work.
Here is a summary of what I did and learn from the course.

What:
Online course based on videos tutorials, all sort of material and Assignment with real teacher assistants

Learned:
3D Modeling and Texturing, 3D Animation, 3D MoGraph Toolset, 3D Compositing, 3D Cameras and Staging, 3D Lighting Basics

Length:
6 Weeks

Instructor:
EJ Hassenfratz

At:
School of Motion

02 Be Kind Rewind

Learning about spline and generate geometry

03 Super Modeling Challenge

This time around no modeling shortcuts. It should be made from one shape and truthfully to the modeling technics as possible.
