CV-PlaneSmart -  Updated Overview
 

CV-PlaneSmart, is a Plugin for Cinema 4D, that allows you to import Photoshop Layered files and automatically places each layer or Group on an individual 2 Dimensional card, and distributes them in Z space. It also does perspective correction, layer animation using Fields, and will make any relevant workflow, extremely easy. It comes as a tool and a Generator, which allows you to work in a procedural, non destructive way.
Title Animations, Motion Typography, 2.5D Placard Animations and much more can be made easily with CV-PlaneSmart.
In this Video, let’s take a look at how it works, and what you can do with it

Hard Surface Model UV Unwrapping - Introduction: UI & Scene Overview
 

In this series we will be learning how to use Cinema 4D’s UV Toolset, to quickly and efficiently unwrap and pack the UVs for Hard Surface Models. Although the Series is aimed at users with a basic understanding of UVs and UV workflows in General, if you happen to be new to UVs, you will still learn a great deal from it.
In this video, we will be setting up the User Interface to accommodate UV Unwrapping, and I will also give you an overview of the 3D Scene.
