The struggle is real

2D is not 3D

Good old 2D is so simple and so cozy. Adding a new dimension makes it so much harder.

We live in a 3D world and it’s time to join us. It may be hard at the beginning, but we are here to help you sort everything out.

Cinema 4D as a spaceship

Cinema 4D is huge. There’s no step by step wizard to turn your idea into reality. There are millions tools and even more ways they interact.

But there’s no need to know each tiny cog of a spaceship to pilot it. We’re going to give you a quick driving course.

Variability

There are so many possible ways to do the same thing in 3D. You’re in doubt. Which way is the best? The shortest? Will produce the expected result? We’re here to guide you through!

No need to do models by yourself when there are lots of ready-made models to use.

Don’t know where to start

Modeling, rigging, rendering, and so many other things… Each area requires hundreds of hours to get to know but there’s no need to become an expert in everything.

That’s exactly what we made this course for. You’ll get a helicopter view on all of the areas of the world of 3D

Is this course for me?

The course covers all the main aspects of working with 3D, offering deep insight into how things work. It is perfect for those who have already tried to learn Cinema 4D or worked in it for a while.

Motion designers

Who want to significantly improve their creative capabilities.

There’s no point in explaining what opportunities 3D provides. You can rotate objects in any direction and change their perspective, animate them in space, apply any materials, light, and then combine them with 2D or a real video as you like. This course will give you free rein once and forever.

Beginner and Intermediate 3D artists

Who want to learn more about Cinema 4D

If you’ve already tried to make something in Cinema 4D, you’ll benefit from this course most of all. It is replete with tips and lifehacks from a real CG Generalist. You’ll take a fresh look at the tools you already know, and you’ll find lots of new and unexpected ways to apply them.

Illustrators

WHO WANT TO CREATE MORE COMPLEX ARTWORK

In this course, we cover all the main aspects of working with 3D graphics, from blocking a scene to rendering a final picture or an animated scene. You’ll be able to use 3D not only as a reference for setting poses and perspective but also as a separate tool for your creative ideas.

Learn how to get the best result with Redshift renderer

We will explain how to do basic render in native Cinema 4D render software, but most of the time we will use Redshift. Redshift is not only the world’s fastest renderer but it also offers the most features and flexibility among all GPU renderers. All the knowledge gained while working with Redshift can be applied to work with other similar renderers, including the standard Cinema 4D renderer.

What students say about our courses and school

I was a complete beginner in After Effects, and this course was an absolute boon! I learned the basic interface, and how to do simple animations and the repetitive nature of specific tasks helped cement them in my mind. I’m truly grateful to you all for putting up this course! You have no idea how much you helped me out. Thank you so much!

Fundamentals on After Effects Course

EXCELLENT! I tried to learn after effects a long time ago and gave up and was extremely intimidated because I thought it was too complex. After taking the first course, I was mind blown. I have learned so much from just two lessons and I feel comfortable using some effects and expressions. […] Overall, the videos are super helpful and I will definitely recommend this to my peers.

Alexander is a CG Generalist with more than 20 years of experience. During his career, he managed to work with almost all main products for creating 3D graphics.

Currently, he works as a VFX Supervisor and a Technical Director for large projects. His main tools for the last 9 years are SideFX Houdini and Cinema 4D.

Alexander finds Cinema 4D one of the most convenient and successful 3D software in the market, and he is very glad to share his Jedi knowledge with you.

What are the course benefits?

Free updates

The most common problem new illustrators face is lack of knowledge of the basics: how to work with lines, shapes, and perspective. As a result the shape is lost, and the viewer fails to comprehend the size and shape of objects or characters in the frame.

Study wherever you go

Many animators don’t know Adobe Illustrator well and draw everything not in the most appropriate way. Besides, a poorly organized workflow may force you to get rid of something you have already done.

One of a kind support

Typically, it is the result of the fact that all the work is based on intuition. There are always questions where to place an object to improve the storytelling, especially when you work on adjacent frames in large projects.

Community

You will be invited to the members-only private community of motion designers from around the world on Facebook. It’s a whole bunch of people that you will have a lot in common with.

What do our students say?

“First of all I like to say that I´m enjoying very much the course so far. I´m already being using Cinema4D for some time, so I already have some knowledge on many of the topics on the first lessons. None the less, I also find some useful tips specially with the spline modeling which is a very useful tool that I tend to ignore and get right into polygon modeling. This makes it very clear to me, that this course is very useful for all kind of artist from the very beginners to more advanced users. I know that I will learn a lot and have to say that I´ll be patient and waiting for the mograph, dynamics and xpresso lessons.”

“I am really enjoying Cinema 4D journey so far. I like the way it’s broken down because it gives me time to process and practice the modules. I like also that there are different levels of homework depending which skill level you are at. Unfortunately I can’t complete them all in time, but I intend to go through everything once the course is finished, which is great because the learning won’t end when the course does. Thanks very much!”

“The course is very useful and it takes me to a new world. I can understand the principles in the course, and can use them well to create something new in the task and homework. I just found there is subtitle in the video. Thank you, it’s just what i need.”
