Cineversity

I look for and find as many resources as I can to learn more about c4d, and have recently found a site called vertex pusher.  I haven’t bought his tutorials yet, but it looks interesting.  So my question is are there other c4d tutorial sites like his?  Up until now I’m only using cineversity and greyscalegorilla.  So if you have any to add to the the list that’d be great.

Check in here ( http://www.maxon.net/education/overview.html ) from time to time.

Lynda.com, Digital Tutors, Motionworks, HelloLux, CG Motionbox, C4D Cafe, and CMIVFX, are the first ones that pop into my head apart from the ones you have mentioned.  Each one of these resources has a different format / focus / revenue model, but suffice it to say there are numerous avenues by which to expand your C4D skill-set.  An order of magnitude more than when I first started

Forums are also a great resource.  This one, CG Talk, Creative COW, and the forums at C4D cafe are probably the best resources to researching specific problems / scenarios.  To that end, I will say that the good Dr Sassi has never failed to provide answers or guidance to any issue or scenario I have thrown at him, even ones which baffle the veterans of other forums.

Thanks a lot, Will. :o)

Didn’t I see a lot of your work at Lynda? In the Audio section ;o) Well done, but certainly just what you like to work with, music.

Have a great evening

Yeah, I worked on a handful of courses in my year at Lynda across a range of disciplines, but the biggest one by far was Audio Recording Techniques for which I created almost 2 full hours of 2 and 3D animated graphic content over the course of about 8 months.  They actually brought me in specifically because of my knowledge of audio and abilities with Cinema and After Effects (which I guess is a rare combination?).  Understanding the content of a course is crucial to being able to illustrate its principles accurately.  It was a lot of hard work, but a great time with some very talented folks.  Thank you for your kind words on the work.

These days, I am making graphics for major sporting broadcast.  A package I designed for Germany’s Sky Sports was just put to air this past weekend and involved the use of the relatively new NCam real-time optical tracking technology, and presently I am build parts of a package for CBS’ Thursday Night Football program.  Along the way, you’ve helped me considerably with all of these endeavors, and I am grateful to both you, and the Cinema and After Effects communities at large for making helpful advice and solid instructional content so accessible..

Sounds all great, Will, congratulations!

I think to have a combination of knowledge, e.g., music and C4D/Ae, is always a plus. It is true for medical areas, architecture and so on. With your expertise these series over at Lynda have gotten a much better presentation, needless to say they exceed easily “talking heads” presentations.

Besides that, to know the pipeline is key, C4D and Ae is a great couple, this pipeline got better and better over the years. You’re spot on, if I may say so. :o)

Yes, nice to see your work becomes published, well done.

Have a great day
