    Learn How to Model and Animate with Cinema 4D Lite

    972201_10151933274893625_549304587_nHave you ever wanted to learn how to model and animate with Cinema 4D Lite? Want to take advantage of the great free application that’s now bundled with After Effects CC?

    I’m just putting the finishing touches to my brand new course “Up and Running with Cinema 4D Lite”. I wanted to write a training course specifically aimed at After Effects users with little or no experience with 3D applications. It’s an accessible and comprehensive course that covers all aspects of this application.

    Real World Projects

    You’ll learn how to build models from primitive objects, link objects and animate them. I’ll show you how to light your scenes and animate cameras changing in time with music. You’ll create your own custom materials as well as utilizing the amazing free presets that come with Cinema 4D Lite.

    All this is applied to a single project so you’ll be able to understand how each of the features can be used in conjunction with each other on real-world projects. Here’s a taster of what you’ll be creating.

    You’ll also discover how to use Cinema 4D Lite alongside After Effects, taking advantage of the new Cineware plug-in. We’ll also explore some third party scripts and plug-ins that’ll help you along the way.

  • Cineware Proxy Special Offer

    cinewareproxy-splash-screen_1Cineware Proxy Special Offer

    A brand new tool for After Effects CC was released today. CINEWARE proxy automates the process of making useful proxy files from your Cineware layers to help speed up your workflow immensely.

    How can it help me

    Cineware is a great addition to After Effects CC but it doesn’t really take advantage of the great built-in proxy system that After Effects offers. Cineware proxy fixes all that by making a placeholder proxy of your 3D layers.

    If you need to make changes or update your Cineware layer it’s a case of flicking a simple switch to go back to the live C4D file.

     What’s on offer?

    I’m pleased to say I can offer my readers a healthy discount on this fantastic script today and tomorrow only ($59.99 instead of $79.99 regular price).

    Add the brilliant Background Renderer to the bundle and save even more money. This essential script allows you to render faster in the background while you continue working on your After Effects projects. Used in conjunction with Cineware Proxy you’ll own a lean, mean rendering machine! Use the coupon code bgcine to save an additional 20% on BG Renderer Pro when you checkout.

    I used this amazing new script in conjunction with Background Render Pro to create this movie. “Club Robot” is my tribute to Beeple, as a thank you for all the great work he does. It was modelled and animated in Cinema 4D Lite. Compositing and Visual Effects were done with After Effects CC and Cineware.

    This movie forms the basis of many of the tutorials from my forthcoming “Up and Running with Cinema 4D Lite” video training course which will be available soon at Lynda.com. It’s an entire two-day course in Cinema 4D Lite, aimed at After Effects users who may not be familiar with 3D software. It teaches modelling, animation, texturing, lighting, cameras and all other aspects of working with Cinema 4D Lite.
