How can I get better at Cinema?
I’m an aspiring student that wants to get into motion graphics works. I feel like I’m getting pretty good in After Effects… but I feel like I want to take it to the next level and get good in Cinema.
I’ve gone through a lot of the Lynda.com tuts, and done some random tuts you can find online… My biggest problem with modeling in Cinema (I haven’t gotten into much animation in cinema yet), is I often don’t know where to begin!
It seems like there’s so many different ways to skin a cat, so to speak, that I’m just not sure how to start modeling something. I’ve gone through like the basic controls. And it seems like when I do step my step tuts, they make sense to me, but then when I want to try it on my own I get stuck pretty quickly.
I’m rambling a bit I know, hopefully someone out there has been in my position, and can offer me some tips on how to get to where I can start modeling (and texturing) without instructions.

Cineversity is a great site – not free but it’s sponsored by Maxon. https://www.cineversity.com/about/index.asp
The first place I go to is always the Help file. C4D’s Help is excellent – it really goes into depth explaining the overall process, especially rendering and compositing. After that it’s just “try and try again.” No matter where you find help there’s no substitute, and no better teacher than your own experience.
Good luck with it!
