This class is designed for complete beginners of Cinema 4D. I'll introduce you to spline modeling (lines that are drawn in 3D space), a simple and powerful way to model cylindrical objects (cans, bottles, etc.) as a way to get used to the interface and understand how Cinema 4D is built. I'll then take you through adding materials, lighting, camera placement, and rendering, showing you my favorite tips and tricks along the way.
