Beijing C4D Instructor -- Guo Chao: Why more and more people love C4D?

C4D in China is still not among the "mainstream world", Maya is still the first choice of production staff, many people have never heard of C4D. In fact, the reason is very simple, one is Max, Maya first into the dominant, the second is the Germans low-key pragmatic, not how to do publicity and promotion.

The choice of C4D depends largely on the following reasons:

01. The mainstream tools of the industry. A basic principle of choosing software is to choose according to the industry to be engaged in, such as construction/games is generally Max, animation is Maya, video design (TV packaging/advertising, etc.) field, the old tradition in the Chinese industry is based on Max and Maya, while abroad C4D because of the advantages of inexpensive and easy to use has become a lot of video designers, filmmakers, the first choice. In China, more and more people choose to use C4D, C4D gradually become the mainstream of the film and television post (video design) field.

02. Compared with Max, C4D has the advantages of fast startup, beautiful and atmospheric interface, stable system, and very clear workflow.

And Max, the startup speed and the old cow as slow as the interface is ugly to death, not moving on the crash.

03. Easy to use, get started. Software like Maya is powerful, but too complex for beginners, you may learn 3 months can not make much progress. C4D is the opposite, get started very quickly.

04. Easy to effect. C4D comes with MoGraph module is particularly suitable for the production of some of the video design of some cool visual effects, you can also try to use Max to do these effects, certainly can be done, but it may be time-consuming and laborious, the efficiency is too low. So using C4D for motion graphics design is just too good.

05. The interaction and union with AE is quite good. AE can directly open the program files saved in C4D, through the multi-channel rendering can retain a variety of information to AE for re-editing, and AE can also export the C4D project file, and then open in C4D to continue editing. The best part is that you don't have to wait until C4D is fully rendered, you can open the project file (*.aec) in AE for editing, and the rendering file will be dynamically updated in AE. How much time does that save, pro, efficiency is money.

06. tutorials. There are a lot of Chinese tutorials about Max, but they are mostly about architecture and interior design, and very few of them are about video design. On the contrary, because most foreign video designers use C4D, so more and more tutorials about C4D video design, like the famous GSG Gray Gorilla series, Making It Look Great 6-9 and so on.

As for, C4D Chinese tutorials are now less and less comprehensive, and the quality varies.

No good tutorials, what to do?

Don't worry, China Film Hualong Education gives you the good C4D tutorials you want.
