Immerse yourself in playful experimentation by having fun modeling an original 3D object with Cinema 4D and OctaneRender

In this online course, learn to walk the line between what's real and what's not in Cinema 4D by transforming an everyday object, from the initial concept to rendering in OctaneRender. Work on lights and textures inspired by pop culture, retro objects, and even toys from your childhood. By the end of the course, you'll have created an amazing 3D-modeled object with a touch of humor and quirkiness!

Muy útil tanto para personas con experiencia pero más aún para aquellos que no, es fácil de seguir a pesar de estar en francés.

Muy satisfecho.
A pesar de estar en Francés, se entiende bien si es que estás medianamente familiarizado con el programa, si no conoces nada te recomendaría uno en español primero y después este (así lo hice yo y pude entender todo casi perfecto, excepto algunas cosas).
En sí el curso está súper, creo que hay cosas que se podrían mejorar con la plataforma y los subtítulos, pero no tienen que ver con el contenido de Marius, sino con la reproducción del video.
