Activity Forums Adobe After Effects OT: c4d

    I posted this on the C4D board to no avail, so I thought I’d try it over here, as I know how many AE users are C4D users as well.

    I am looking for a good training book for C4D.

    Something along the lines of Trish Meyers AE book, but for C4D would be great.

    I prefer a book so I can read outdoors or without wires.

    thanks!

    Sorry, Tom, but there are very few book on Cinema 4D. I don’t think that there are any books for the current release (R11.5), which means there are no books that cover the big new dynamics features for MoGraph 2.

    I tried learning R10 with a book, but ultimately I found the training videos a lot easier to follow. I don’t think there is anything comparable to the Meyer’s AE books.

    Perhaps you could get the training videos on an iPad. That way you get the outside/fresh air, but still get the more effective video training.
    And finally; a use for the iPad.

    thanks Walter for a serious answer.

    Which training videos did you go with?

    I’ve learned a ton from Tim Clapham. He’s done a few classes with FXPHD that were quite good.

    MAXON’s Cineversity looks to have some exciting updates coming this year, too.
