Workshop Overview

3D Animation is used in the entertainment industries, for spatial and architectural research and often to aid accountability efforts. The workshop will teach you the basic steps from modelling to animating in Cinema 4D, with the aim of exporting a short film / video at the end. You will learn how to create a 3D scene populated with a 3D object which you will model from a reference image of your choosing. You will be shown how to texture your models, how to light your scene and how to set-up different cameras.
