In this six-course Domestika Basics, learn Cinema 4D from scratch. Through a balanced mix of theory and practical content, master the essential tools and features to create everything from static images to 3D animations and render them with OctaneRender.

Begin by familiarizing yourself with Cinema 4D. Explore the interface and see how to configure project settings and navigate the workspace, along with some fundamental concepts for creating and editing objects.

Learn what object deformers are and how to use them before covering how to model with simple lines, otherwise known as splines.

Once you've got the basics, move on to modeling from scratch with classic techniques and discover other tools to help you shape your ideas, from Loop Cut and Polygon Bevel to Subdivision Surfaces and volume modeling.

Next, Francisco introduces you to the render engine OctaneRender—a cornerstone of this course—and explains how to set it up to start working. Experiment with creating different types of lights and materials using both OctaneRender and Cinema 4D.

Learn to make simple animations following the basic concepts of movement, scale, and rotation, and how to enhance them with a series of effects, including realistic collisions, gravity for rigid and soft bodies, and cloth simulation. 



To wrap up this Domestika Basics on Cinema 4D, configure the optimal settings to render a static scene and a video animation and retouch them in Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro respectively.

Technical requirements

    ⦁ A computer with Windows 7 or macOS 10.12 Sierra (or later) and a graphics card that has the latest CUDA 9.1 drivers.
    ⦁ Cinema 4D (R17, R18, R19, or R20), OctaneRender, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop CC 2014 or later (you can buy them or download the seven-day trial versions from Adobe's website).
