  • C4D Literature?

    Posted by Ryan Paterson on December 29, 2009 at 7:39 pm

    Are there any good upcoming books for Cinema 4D? With the new MoGraph features in 11.5 it’d be really awesome to have a book that covers MoGraph, Xpresso, Sketch & Toon, After Effects integration and the like. I find it almost shocking the lack of literature on C4D considering how many studios are using it for broadcast now.

    Forums and video tutes are very helpful but there is something to be said for a big book of knowledge you can just flip through. I bought the Chris & Trish Meyer After Effects book and it never leaves my side, and has gotten me out of many jams. It`d be nice to have something similar for C4D.

    totally agree with you Ryan.

    So many features, so little documentation. I think we’re mean’t to be clairevoyants.

    It is a shame, I agree. I was contacted about writing an update to a long-running C4D book. We exchanged a bunch of e-mails; they said they were about ready to give the go sign, and then … nada. They don’t even return e-mails. Bizarre.

    I would also pick one up, and I think a lot of people would be interested. Lynda.com has a new C4D 11.5 course however there is very little MoGraph and no Xpresso at all. It looks like theres some good info in there though. But as I said before, getting really tired of video tutorials!
