MAXON, the makers of C4D, has a very good product called Cineversity () that is constantly updated with video tutorials, but it’s $295 to start with a $95 annual renewal fee-anything but inexpensive (but, depending on your commitment, this is probably the best product to learn C4D). While there is a lot of material out there, for an instructor wanting to teach it, it can be a bit maddening figuring out which resources to use. So why this book and for whom is it intended? C4D also comes with its own tutorials that are very good.

There is a lot of learning material in the form of books, magazines, online video tutorials, websites, and blogs that teach C4D very effectively. It is a vast application that is used in many different fields of expertise. That being said, I do not know everything about CINEMA 4D (hereafter referred to as C4D), nor is there any single person alive that does.

CINEMA 4D is one of the very best applications I have ever used. I have already written a book on it (The CINEMA 4D Handbook), and I teach it almost exclusively in my classes (Art, Architecture, and Graphic Design). I have used it professionally as well as academically for many years for a wide variety of projects. As of this writing, CINEMA 4D is on release 15. I have been using CINEMA 4D since release 6.
