It is good...But still the content of the video and tutorial should be improved...

By Sandro Russomanno

Really interesting course to learn how to use C4D through simple steps and applying 3d techniques to graphic design works. Would be cool to have some more insight about rendering parameters and how they can affect the final image. Well done!
