It’s also a great next step for those who have recently completed my previous class ‘3D for 2D Animation: Intro to Cinema 4D’. This class will be perfect for people wanting to level up their modelling skills. I’ve worked professionally for over 10 years in animation producing VFX, motion design, 2D and 3D character animation, for big studios, small studios, middle sized ones… here, there and everywhere and now I’d like to share some of what I’ve learned with you lot! I’m Russ Etheridge, Freelance Animator and Director based in Brighton UK.

At times it won’t be that easy, but rigging is the only way to bring your character to life.Hey guys! Today we’re going to dig a little deeper into Cinema 4D’s modelling tools.īy the end of the class you’ll have modelled an organic shape in the form of a simple character as well as a hard surface object in the form of a sail boat for our character to captain! You should be prepared that rigging requires a high level of concentration as well as some experience in working with 3D. This course is for those who have very recently discovered Cinema 4D.

We will start simple, with questions: Do you need a rig at all? What cases do require it? And when can you avoid it substituting it with clusters, vertex maps and deformers? After that, we will gradually proceed from using Cinema 4D’s standard systems to creating our own ones. Whatever character you have, whether it is a person or a robot, a centipede or a jellyfish, understanding the basics of rigging together with simulations, xPresso, and a bit of Maths will make you practically almighty.

In this course, you will learn how to create a rig that can be quickly and easily animated manually or automatically. If you want to animate characters without leaving near and dear Cinema 4D, you are in the right place.
