- [Andy] Hi, My name is Andy Needham and welcome to Cinema 4D R18 Essential Training: Visual Effects. In this course, I'll be teaching you about visual effects techniques in Cinema 4D and how you can use the tools and methods taught here in your visual effects workflow. I'll start by giving you some core concepts of working with Cinema 4D, so you're set up for success. From there, we discuss the importance of motion tracking and how to track and solve a shot using the motion tracker.
We learn how to export that data and how to remove lens distortion. We work with importing models and how to create basic animation. Then, we cover creating different types of materials and methods of lighting 3D shots. I'll show you how to use the camera calibration tag and projection man tools to build a 3D representation of a photograph. We harness the versatile tag system and render tokens to streamline our workflow, and finally composite multi-parse renders.
So if you're ready, let's get started with Cinema 4D R18 Essential Training: Visual Effects.
