译者的话：当我向别人推荐C4D时，总会感到，没有一套优秀的入门教程。于是决定翻译这套教程，一个人，2个月，10个小时的时长。 Lynda com CINEMA 4D R12 Essential Training 资源简介： Lynda出品的时长达10小时的 CINEMA 4D R12基础培训 视频教程。由Rob Garrott介绍了CINEMA 4D的工作流程，使其作为一种工具如Adobe After Effects, Photoshop和Illustrator的重要组成部分。本教程讲解了关键的基础概念(如多边形，纹理和光线)，至关重要的理解怎样正确掌握这个3D 应用程序的功能。还包括创建，选择和变换对象的实用技术，并对样条曲线和多边形建模，以及添加材质，光源和相机视图的3D图像有一个充分认识。本教程附带练习文件。
