What you'll learn
Welcome to Volume 3 of the Quick Start to Animation in CINEMA 4D, a series of specially constructed tutorials meant to be followed in sequence and interspersed with valuable exercises to reinforce learned concepts. In this Volume, we'll build on the concepts covered in Volume 2. We'll start by learning how to animate with Selection Objects. We'll then learn how utilize CINEMA 4D's robust Motion System to animate non-linearly and non-destructively with Motion Clips. Once our clips have been made, we'll learn how to export them to create a library of Motion Sources, and then how to import them back into C4D. We'll also learn how to blend Motion Clips and create time warp effects. These tutorials are designed to be taken in sequence so we really encourage you to start with Volume 2 before continuing with this section. Software required: CINEMA 4D R15.
