Course Description


Would you like to master CINEMA 4D's XPresso module to enhance your workflow, create your own CINEMA 4D plugins from scratch, create great looking renders, and automate tasks in CINEMA 4D?
If answer to these question is "Yes", then you are at the right place.
This course introduces students to the XPresso module of the CINEMA 4D which is a node-based visual scripting language. This course covers XPresso Editor and different nodes under the XPresso and MoGraph classes and takes you step-by-step through the whole process of building node networks in XPresso Editor. Numerous examples are used to show the functioning of the nodes.
Moving ahead, this course broadens your XPresso knowledge by taking you step-by-step through the process of creating four CINEMA 4D lighting plugins. You can use these plugins to quickly and easily illuminate the scenes and produce cool looking renders. The challenges included in this course allow you to experiment with what you have learned during the course. As students move from one topic to tutorial, they will be gaining robust knowledge about the XPresso module in CINEMA 4D.
Beside lifetime access to course, you'll also get access to all plugin files, CINEMA 4D files, texture files, and any other resource used in the course. You are free to use these resources in your own projects personal or commercial. These working files allow you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.

I'll be regularly adding content to this course so keep coming back.

good!

By 吳東霖 吳

yes. really useful.

By Jeffrey Huang

very good general introduction of nodes but i'd like to see more examples on how to use the nodes. Thanks.

By Per Kinnbom

It is great :D

By Elizabeth Thomas

Great course, the instructor takes things step-by-step which is great. I learned a lot about creating plugins in CINEMA 4D. Now, I can make my own plugins.

By Steve Smith

This was a great course. I definitely upped my game in XPresso and I got a lot out of the lectures. I will be now creating my own plugins and definitely be saving some bucks. Its been a great experience so far... Thanks !!!

By Rachel Stene

I appreciate Pradeep's concise breakdown of the Xpresso nodes. His course is set up so you get an overview of each node's function first, and it's easy to come back and review what a particular node does. Then he provides great real world applications at the end of the course. Highly recommend this. I have spent much time searching around the internet for this info, and haven't found it offered in this format anywhere else.

By Chris

I am still taking the course, but so far it is really helpful to understand this complex topic. The instructor is very professional and explains what he is showing very well. Thanks for the awesome course!

By Viktors Ritelis

So far I've sat through 3 lessons and I'm no wiser how or why Xpresso would be of use to me. It is obvious that Pradeep knows his stuff but I as a learner need to see a PRACTICAL demonstration how hooking up nodes creates a visual result. Something as simple as getting a ball to bounce or colours to change. He started off by talking about hooking up nodes to calculate an addition. Why bother? Wouldn't a calculator work far better?

By Dennis Francis

I'm new to XPresso and am taking it slow. The tutorials at this point is a great warm-up. Each module gives a practical example of individual nodes and how they can be used in C4D projects. I'm having a lot of fun.

By Thejomaya Balaji Ramaswamy

The instructor clearly explained all the nodes in Xpresso and went straight to the point for showing me. The course was worth it but I would like to see more applications for Xpresso plugin and how to convert the presets to plugins. Great course!

By Bivas Bhattacharjee

The course is comprehensive and practical. It is a good place to start on Xpresso plugins.
