In this Beginners Cinema 4D course, you'll be taught the software from the ground up. You'll learn how to model, edit, texture, light, animate and render your 3D projects.
We'll look at many of the tools in Cinema 4D for building 3D worlds, constructing 3D objects, creating and lighting scenes with atmosphere and how to 'paint' your items with any surface that you can imagine.
You will discover how to animate your scene and manipulate cameras to add depth and realism. Finally we'll show you how to create a finished article, be it a still render or a fully animated sequence, and turn it into any format you require.
We work extensively in partnership with Maxon on our Cinema 4D course curriculums, ensuring that you the student, are put into the best possible position when studying with us.
Reinforce the knowledge you have gained on our beginner's course, by taking the Cinema 4D Elementary Knowledge Test. Passing this test will set you on the path to take the Cinema 4D Basics Comprehensive Certification exam and become a certified user.
On top of that, you will also receive a fully functioning version of Cinema 4D for one month after your course ends. You will have access to the fantastic 'Cineversity' where you can increase your knowledge of the product, and we will set you tasks based on your skill level to undertake and complete. Yes, these courses come with homework! There are no better Cinema 4D courses anywhere in the United Kingdom.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.

Our Cinema 4D courses come with free access to Maxon's 'Cineversity' for one month. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Maxon certified and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
