The 7.5-hour, 55-lesson course teaches
the fundamental tools and techniques of using the new Cinema 4D
module built into Adobe After Effects CC
Toronto, Canada—Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. has introduced its Learning Cinema 4D for After Effects Tutorial, a course teaching the fundamental tools and techniques for creating 3D graphics and animation in the new Cinema 4D module included in the latest version of Adobe After Effects.
Long lacking full 3D capability in its famous compositing platform, Adobe has added a basic version of Maxon Cinema 4D to the latest version of After Effects. Maxon Cinema 4D Lite is a full-fledged 3D graphics and animation application, and now comes included as a module within the After Effects interface.
Infinite Skills' Learning Cinema 4D for After Effects Tutorial teaches the basics of learning to take advantage of this powerful new feature of After Effects, explaining the Cinema 4D Lite interface, how to use it in an After Effects workflow, and the basic and advanced tools and techniques for creating 3D graphics and animation.

Course author Jeff Sengsteck is an Adobe Certified Expert, having authored more than 300 articles and nine books covering various areas of digital media production using Adobe products and other programs. After a career in television news, where he learned the process of video production from daily hands-on experience, Sengstack has turned his attention to training and education, working as a consultant, author, and professor at Santa Rosa Junior College, where currently he teaches video production.
After a quick demonstration of the workflow, Sengstack starts off by explaining how to set up Cinema 4D Lite from within After Effects, covering preferences, shortcuts, and how to start a new scene.
The course then explores the basics of the Cinema 4D Lite interface, looking at the managers, icon palettes, view panels, and the animation palette, before diving into the techniques for creating animation, such as adding objects, working with properties, and creating models.
More advanced topics are covered in chapters focused on splines and extruding NURBS, modeling and deformation objects, working with materials and geometry, using keyframes in animation, as well as lighting and cameras.
"Long-time users of After Effects know that After Effects has historically not offered a full range of 3D tools," Sengstack says." "The Creative Cloud edition has solved that problem by including a full-blown 3D product built in to the program."
"Cinema 4D Lite has a steep and long learning curve, so this course is designed to help After Effects users get comfortable with this exciting new feature."
