Skillshare – Learn Cinema4D – Looping Abstract Shapes

In this course, you’ll learn how to make abstract shapes in Cinema 4D. We’ll animate the shapes and create seamless loops.

You'll need Maxon Cinema 4D(Prime, Broadcast, Visualize or Studio) and Adobe After Effects.

We learn best by doing, so this is a hands-on, project-based course.

We will use a procedural workflow that doesn't require any modeling. That means that all settings remain editable, and we can change the entire look by just adjusting a few sliders. It makes the whole process of creating and experimenting fun, flexible, and powerful.

Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover:

Creating geometry from splines

Working with the displace deformer

Creating looping animations

Adjusting the focal length of Cinema 4D’s camera

Working with lights

Creating and applying textures

Using the OpenGL Hardware renderer
