- [Voiceover] Hello and welcome to Primitive and Spline Modeling in CINEMA 4D. We'll be modeling parts from this antique stereo viewer but the skills you learn here will be applicable to all of your modeling projects. This course is a wide-ranging introduction to the primitive and spline modeling tools available in all versions of CINEMA 4D, even CINEMA 4D light. I'll start by showing you how to accurately position components using the snapping tools. Then show you how to use the extrude object to give depth to 2D splines.
We'll see how to create the face mask of our stereo viewer using the loft object. We'll be covering all these features plus plenty of other tools and techniques. Now let's get started with Primitive and Spline Modeling in CINEMA 4D.
