Excellent intro to Cinema 4D! I'm a complete beginner and this course was really well explained and will be great to follow. I tend to watch tutorials through first and then do the project along with the course. Feel confident I can start basic modelling. Thank you Michael!!!

I like the course and your pace. Just one request. Can you record the tuts in a lower screen res? Everything is so tiny and fuzzy. Difficult to view the actions without getting really close to the monitor screen.
I don't know if this is a Udemy limit, but I wish there was an option to change the video quality to 1080p.
All-in-all, you are a good teacher Michael.

Overall the course was fantastic. It was a little slow going in the beginning, but the instructor spends time laying down the foundation and explaining not only what to do, but why you're doing it and how to approach similar situations in the future.
If you're getting started in Cinema4D and only dabble in modeling, I'd definitely recommend doing this course. It's relatively quick (I did it in about 2-3 hours) and is very informative.

J'aime la façon de l'enseignant. Il prend son temps. J'aurais aimer qu'il répète toutes les manipulations. Ainsi, on intègre davantage la matière.

It was insightful and very easy to follow along.

Seemed kind of unprepared and sometimes a little less systematic than I was expecting. That being said, as a basic course, I'm pretty happy with it and just bought the next one from the same guy.
By Kaylon Young
Very good tutorial. An nice project to get started with if you are new to Cinema 4D.
