This course spotlights the R13 update for MAXON CINEMA 4D, which includes some key improvements in the rendering, shader, and character tools. Author Rob Garrott shows animators how to find their way around the interface, and demonstrates features such as the Physical Render engine, with its camera and depth of field and motion blur controls; the CMotion system for creating parametric movement; and the new and revised shaders. The course also covers the streamlined workflow for Adobe After Effects Exchange and the new file format options OpenEXR and Xref. Exercise files are included with the course.

 

• Polygon Modeling Techniques with Focus on Topology: 100% quad polygon modeling. No sculpt, no triangles.
• Created by Angela Guenette, Character Modeler, project Durian, Sintel
• Angela has a background in fine arts and since 2000 worked on a variety of CG Animated Feature Films, DVD Movies, Television Series, and most recently the independent animated short film, Sintel. She has worked in Blender, Maya, XSI, Softimage3D, Gimp, and Photoshop.

Mark Christiansen builds upon his incredibly successful AFX220 class, by leading a team effort focusing on design-related issues in After Effects.
Using the new After Effects CS3, we cover a wide range of topics, including design principles, interoperability with Photoshop and Illustrator, animation tricks, keying, and new features in CS3. Most of the course will be not specific to CS3 so you'll be fine using older versions, but we'll highlight changes in the app and cover some of the cool new features.
