Cinema 4D是一套由德国公司Maxon Computer开发的3D绘图软件，以及高的运算速度和强大的渲染插件著称。Cinema 4D 应用广泛，在广告、电影、工业设计、等方面都有出色的表现，例如影片《阿凡达》有花鸦三维影动研究室中国工作人员使用Cinema 4D制作了部分场景，在这样的大片中看到C4D的表现是很优秀的。在其他动画电影中也使用到C4D的有很多如《毁灭战士》（Doom）、《范海辛》〈Van Helsing〉、《蜘蛛侠》、以及动画片《极地特快》、《丛林总动员》（Open Season）等等。它正成为许多一流艺术家和电影公司的首选，Cinema 4D已经走向成熟，很多模块的功能在同类软件中是代表科技进步的成果。

Digital-Tutors - Introduction to Character Rigging in CINEMA 4D 2 hrs. 54 min. |Released on June 30, 2011  Project Files Included Required Software: CINEMA 4D R12 and up

In this collection of lessons we will learn the foundations of rigging characters in CINEMA 4D.

This course will provide you with a foundation for rigging characters in CINEMA 4D. We will take a step-by-step approach, constructing a control rig that is solid and animator-friendly. We will learn everything from proper joint placement and working with constraints to learning how to utilize some of the CINEMA 4D robust skinning tools to remove the fear of painting weights and, instead, make the process enjoyable. We will cover how to make our controls efficient and simple, and also learn ways we can work with Xpresso to regulate how some of our joints and controls behave. By the end of this course, you will have the foundation you need to create your own rigs that produce believable and entertaining character performances.
