Our methodology in tutorial creation takes into account that everyone is at a different level.

In addition our tutorials come with the RAW or working files so you can follow along.
Extruding, UV unwrapping, nodes, polycount, and displacement mapping may all sound like a foreign language right now, but before long these terms will be as familiar to you as ISO and aperture. You’ll understand the grammar of 3D creation so you can conceptualize your projects, and communicate them properly to your team.
Creating and shaping 3D objects, or modeling, is a key part of any 3D endeavor. Especially if the goal is to create photorealistic props or locations. You’ll learn to build and sculpt your models, match realistic proportions, and build a framework for models that can be used in any situation.
You will learn how to create and apply materials and textures to your models that will make them look just like their real-world counterparts. Metal, wood, plastic or glass, you will understand the basics of how these materials are built so you can create realistic versions of anything you desire.

This tutorial prepares you to not only understand CGI in Cinema 4D, but fully begin to grasp what is possible and the entire pipeline of creation from concept, to final delivery.
There are no limits to what you can create in CGI. Need an interesting room? Make it! Need a special chair? No problem? Want to shoot in a regal castle? We got you. Once you understand the workflow, the only thing stopping you, is you. As you can see in the image above, everything but the woman is not real. The chair, the room, the light, all CGI.
