A creative and technical breakdown of my sardine themed entry into Pwnisher aka Clint Jones latest render challenge, Moving Meditations.
I document a way to render holograms for the looking glass holographic display in Cinema 4D on my YouTube channel.
Calling 2D animators! I made a Skillshare class to teach adding a bit’o 3D to 2D animation! If you’re totally new to Cinema 4D this is for you.
Was great to be part of the Maxon 3D and Motion Design Show and talk about my working process, and do a little rigging tutorial too.
Hellooo, my new class just came out! ⛵ ‘Modelling In Cinema 4D: Creating Your First 3D Scene’ This time I dig a bit deeper into 3D modelling in Cinema 4D. Perfect for those wanting to boost their modelling skills, also a great next step for those excellent people out there who did my first class ‘Getting Started in Cinema 4D’
My new class on Character Rigging just launched on Skillshare!! This is the first in a two part class. In this one we focus on a full character, arms, legs, the whole shabang. Keep your eyes peeled for part 2 where we’ll be building a bike for the character ride! I’ve also just launched a new YouTube channel for posting extra free bits and bobs so keep tabs on me over there if you’re interested!
