I have zero experience in 3D applications (other than a little camera layer on AE). I want to learn C4D.
Can you help me by posting the most basic video tutorials on this thread? I figured other people here might find it useful too.
I'm talking basic as... interface rundown, extruding illustrator logos, first camera steps etc.

I would look into learning some basic 3D theories as well.

I also want to learn this stuff. I heard http://greyscalegorilla.com/ has good tutorials
- yep he's really good. would definitely recommend that.itstimefortea

3d is freaking deep. will take you at least a few months before you've got the basics down and a few years before you're really good. you'll never learn it all. that said, i think you'd do yourself the best justice by getting a 2month subscription to digital tutors and study/practice non stop.

I'm guessing that works for EVERYTHINGMiguex - just saying. 3d is deep and broad in several disciplines. 3d isn't just fucking mograph and shiny boxesM_C_P
- Physics, anatomy, animation, and some instances hardcore math. It's easier than it used to be... but still extensive.ETM

This could be a good starting point. Although the tutorials presented by Nick (as opposed to Chris) tend to look better in the end.

Totally go withe greyscale gorilla, Nick's tutorials are, apart from getting you to some great results quickly, packed with little nuggets about how to approach the program and he blends just the right amount of theory with practicality. He's easy to listen to for 45 minutes and always stresses that you need to explore those parts of the program that he's demonstrating to engage yourself creatively from the get-go, rather than just robotically clicking options then not being able to remember how you got there.
It's a huge, huge program and you need to get up to speed on quite a few seemingly separate ascpects of it before you'll get results that you really enjoy. Modelling, lighting, rendering, dynamics - it's very much a multi-path route to success. It's totally addictive though, and you'll soon be speccing out more cores for your box :)- I've been on grayscale, I think they are amazing but you need to have some basic knowledge alreadyMiguex

we only help hot chicks fresh out of arts colleges. And we stop helping them once they get married to another designer or get a job with Sagemeister.
