C4D tutorials

[Graham Quince]

Hi Steve,

There’s a few on here for C4D and grayscale gorilla has loads. If I remember correctly, the C4D manual is quite good for starting tutorials, (not much help for you). I’m currently working on a “this is the first time you’ve open C4D” tutorial, which will be part of a series here. If you can wait a couple of weeks…

Thanks Graham! I’ve actually given C4D a shot a couple of times, but never really could get the gist of how to use it…perhaps it’s my age.

I’ll await your tutorial!

Like Graham said Grey scale Gorilla is the one to go with. In my mind they are the definitive place to learn C4D.

For AE our man Andrew Kramer is the guy for Tuts. His website is video copilot.

In my opinion both of these sites do a better job of teaching not just techniques but philosophies of compositing that you don’t see even on the paid sites like Linda and the like.

Hey Steve, the best proven way for me personally to learn a new software – start with the basics. With that . said, fundamentals are crucial, thus for this reason I would recommend taking courses on Lynda or alternative – Cinema 4D Essentials.

This will give your feet wet in general, and you will build up a good understanding. From which, looking tutorials online is sufficient. Otherwise, you will be building specific skillsets here and there – but not a whole pack of knowledge systematically.

Hope this helps to find a more reliable path to catch on to !

Hi Steve, not sure where you’re based but I’m a Maxon trainer based in London’s Soho Editors, where we train classroom courses as well as live online course for hands on training. Let me know if we can be any help.

Best, John W.
