Are there any Projection Man tutorials online?

CMIVFX.com has one for sale.

I heard the CMiVFX one is not very good and actually doesn’t have a lot of Projection Man. It seems they started making it before Projection Man was released and then just threw in some Projection Man later on before they released it. This is what I heard. Have you watched it?

The Cineversity seems like a good source but I find their sign up fee ridiculous compared to other sites. Besides all I want to learn is Projection Man, not animation and the whole Cinema 4D, so paying that much for just Projection Man doesn’t seem like a good idea. I would rather give that money to somebody for a live class.

The cineversity ones I linked are free. I have not seen the cmi one… I have four or five of their other tutorials and they are extremely well done.

They don’t seem to be all free. The ones with a red square and a M inside are for paying members only it seems as I can’t click them to watch. Unless I’m doing something wrong. I even registered for a free account and still can’t watch them.
There are only 3 Projection Man free ones and I had seen them already but they are almost just demos, not much teaching. But thanks anyways for trying to help.

I’m almost through the CMIVFX tutorial Matte Painting and I think its very good. There are a lot of other things than projection man – but the chapter about it is excellent!!

Also I’ve tried this tut from Janine Pauke about camera mapping :

Its not actually about projection ma, but gives you some of the basics of camera proj.

Thanks for the info. There’s just one chapter about projection man? How long is it? Is it enough to learn how to do 3D matte painting with projection man?
But I just heard another turn down about cmivfx. I heard you don’t get a actually DVD and you can only watch it online, not even download it. I mean you pay for it and you don’t own it? What happen to people who’s on slower connection or if you need the tutorials when you’re out on your laptop? This is very bad if indeed true.

I also wanted to ask if the chapter about project Man is a step by step tutorial from start to a finished 3D matte painting or camera projection? Thanks again.

[Randy Johnson]

One chapter and its about 40 minutes. Is it enough to learn it… I didnt have a problem. Its pretty good.
No download only streaming. Its not bad though I have a medium connection at home and I dont have any problems streaming. The whole tutorial is like 4 hours.

Yes CMI is online only – the thing I like with this tut is that we follow a realworld project with the problems that might arise in the real world and follow the thoughtprocess to get around them e.g. what to do with distorted perspective etc. This also goes for the ProjectionMan chapter.

Thanks guys. So it’s enough to learn even for somebody new to C4D?
Also, is the projection man chapter’s project a moving 3D matte painting?
I was talking to somebody who told me the chapter in Lynda.com’s C4D R10 tutorial dedicated to camera projection teaches you how to add two 3D cubes to a still picture. If that’s true, pretty useless camera projection chapter if you ask me.
