Fue una buena elección, me parece ideal para quienes ya manejan el software a nivel intermedio, como yo.

Was able to learn a few new things with lighting that really helped.

By Jacques Lise

Je suis très surprise de constater qu'il a une méthode pédagogique dès plus promettre en tant que instructeur. Je suis ravie d'avoir acheté ce tuto. Je vais chercher pour en trouver un autre, car j'ai aucun doute qu'il m'enseignera avec BRIO !

Merci à Ozgur

By Cailean Macaulay

I have always been intimidated by lighting because of all the terminology and technical stuff. In C4D this also was true, it was all guesswork and frustrating.

Having taken a tonne of notes in this course, I am keen to take up the tutor's advise and practise and experiment using the techniques.

I feel more bold and informed to try out lighting scenes, and have an idea how to improve results by adding in a fill light or adjusting some key settings. So much of the terminology has been demystified, and my notes from this course will be really useful in going forward.

I hope to develop really thoughtful lighting skills, and move beyond my haphazard, chaotic and frustrating approach to lighting til now.

I really rate this tutor as a clear educator who sets forth great examples that carry you along on the learning journey, and gives practical application to what you are covering.

Thank you

Excellent! This guy is the best. He doesn't talk too much or try to be your friend. He gets right to the point and he doesn't go too fast. I can follow along and he doesn't skip over important things.

By Louis

Great course! Learned a lot about the different light techniques you can use within Cinema 4D. Very nicely explained. More of these tutorials, please!

By Leonardo Fiori

Perfect. Very basic but contains many interesting things that i did not know. Do a more advanced course!

By Renata Almeida

Achei o curso incrível. Gostaria que nos arquivos a partir da aula 11 tbm estivessem um sem as aplicações do professor, pois assim poderia se praticar o que ele tá ensinando de maneira mais objetiva
