About Cineversity

Cineversity is the official training resource for Maxon products.

Cineversity is an educational program sponsored by Maxon for the benefit of students and teachers of         3D modeling, textuing, lighting, animation and rendering.  It focuses on bringing the widest variety of resources for learning Cinema         4D to users of the software.  These include curriculum, tutorials, and other material that we hope will prove helpful         to even the most frustrated of novices. In creating Cineversity, it is our goal to further enrich the 3D community by introducing future generations of         professionals to the joys of 3D computer graphics in the least intimidating and most satisfying way possible.

How do I access Cineversity premium content?

If you have a license for Cinema 4D, you also have access to Cineversity premium content. The log-in you use for Cineversity is the same as your MyMaxon account.

Can I download tutorials?

No. As part of our subscription-based membership and to control piracy, you are not allowed to download any tutorial videos on the Cineversity site. Many tutorials have associated project files, which you are free to download and keep even if your membership has lapsed. 

Can I request a specific tutorial?

You can post your tutorial suggestions as a poll within the Tutorial Suggestions forum on our site. Keep in mind that our instructors are most likely to focus on tutorials that will have general appeal and fall within their areas of expertise.

Does Cineversity provide one-on-one training?

Cineversity does offer one-on-one training, via direct connect which allows you to interact directly with one of our knowledgeable instructors via the internet. You’ll be able to follow along by viewing the instructor’s screen remotely. You’ll also have the opportunity to share your screen so the instructor can evaluate your progress and help you along. You can choose from one of our curriculum options or get training in the context of a current project. There is an additional fee for this service. You can learn more about Cineversity 1on1 by watching this video.
