Introduction to Cinema 4D

Overview

“In this lesson we will learn the principles of animation, movement, rotation and scale. We will see how to add keyframes to fix the movements of our object. We will also learn the importance of hierarchy in the world of animation.”

In this video lesson Francisco Cabezas addresses the topic: Basic animations: movement, scale and rotation, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 5: Basic Animation Tools and Concepts. Learn to use basic animation tools and tags.

Keyframe will tell us where the beach ball at each moment or what size it has or what rotation it has or what external parameter that ball has.
