Course Description
In this course you will learn how to model high quality furniture. This course is a combination of simple and advanced techniques. Furniture industry is very big and furniture companies increasingly use 3D visualization of their products. I know this from experience since I am working in a company of a similar type. So this course can be helpful to come closer to industry standards.
Presented techniques in this course can be also of great help in high poly modeling of any type of products and objects. All learned techniques can be transferred to other 3D software.

The tutorial makes sense in terms of structure so far and I am enjoying it BUT, but the instructor speaks very very slowly (even set to 1.5x) and doesn't provide the context/logic behind decision making. The description of the tutorial is that you will learn about different modeling techniques, but I think a better word is you will be told to do it. From there you have to piece the logic yourself (edge loops for subdivision, tris because math etc.)

Great course from this instructor. I learned a lot of new techniques and ways to achieve certain results in here. Instructor is very knowledgeable and explains everything nicely for you to understand. I highly recommend this course for anyone that is learning to model.

Un buon corso sulla modellazione poligonale, chiaro da seguire, anche se forse a volte un po' troppo veloce. Richiede una conoscenza base di Cinema 4D. I sottotitoli non sono presenti, ma è comunque facilmente comprensibile.

I learned a lot of modeling tips and tricks that I was not aware of before watching this course. I would highly recommend this course to any one looking to spice up their modeling toolset. Also the modeling layout is fantastic that the instructor provides with the course!

Interesting tutorial but can be confusing to follow. A lot happens during silent points in the video, couldn't hurt to have a brief explanation of the tools used during this time. There are also silent points in which the instructor is frantically moving the mouse around, it's a tutorial so I'm trying to see what's going to happen next but sometimes it's nothing but a mouse flailing around the screen for no apparent reason.

A little more vocal explanation would improve the lessons. It is too easy to miss a step because an action isn't being explained vocally at the time. Having to rewind to see how you got from one action to another sometimes is all too frustrating. Overall, great content and great tips.

This course starts really harsh. In the second tutorial he realizes that he is using a custom layout. It took me 10-15 min to finde the tools he was using and the he says "you can dowload the layout if you want" this got me really. The other thing is, he dosn't explain the tools. It's like a step by step instruction do this do that set here a loop cut, whitout saying why.

I have not completed the course and I am only a fraction of the way through it, but even after working in Cinema 4D for 8 years Zelimir was teaching me new things. I was interested in high-quality furniture modeling but more interested in seeing how another C4D user goes about modeling. Most of my work is organic modeling but the takeaway here was an excellent combination of both a hard edge and organic modeling techniques. Anyone who works in C4D has something to learn from this course. Excellent job by instructor Zelimir Prgic!

So far i feel satisfied with what ive learned from this course. The artist has a very clear voice and is easy to understand. I have always wondered how i can make a furniture like this look more realistic as in the real world.

Lots of good information about using Cinema 4D. Appreciated that the author includes work files that are compatible with versions 15, 16, 17, and 18 (currently the most recent version) of Cinema 4D; this way people who do not have the very latest version can follow-along.
