The Introduction to CINEMA 4D workshop is designed for those who have little or no experience in 3D, but would like to learn how to become skilled in this growing area of production. Ideal attendees include:

• Artists, designers and editors who would like to expand their knowledge and skills to include 3D
• Studio producers/managers who want to learn what 3D can offer their studio
• Freelancers who want an understanding of how to offer 3D to their clients
• Teachers and other educators thinking of offering 3D classes or introducing 3D into their courses

Topics covered will include:

• Modeling with primitives
• Boolean modeling
• NURBS modeling
• Polygon level modeling
• Texture creation & application
• Simulating basic interior lighting
• Key-frame animation
• Non linear animation editing
• Still image & animation export options.

This workshop is intended to introduce concepts needed to create three-dimensional (3D) graphics as a form of animated or still digital media. While the demonstrations and hands on participation will make use of Cinema 4D, the concepts and tools used are common to all 3d graphics software on the market today.
