Recorded live at Maxon’s 2018 NAB booth, this Cineversity tutorial features motion designer, and Greyscalegorilla regular, EJ Hassenfratz. You’ll hear about him starting his career making 3D logos, and then shifting to work on his animation and color fundamentals.

This is a great presentation for After Effects and 2D creators looking to get started with 3D. You’ll learn about integrating Cinema4D into your 2D workflow, saving time with C4D animation tools, character animation, and some other helpful time saving tips. Dive into Sketch and Toon, learn about Jiggle Deformer, and learn helpful techniques using Voronoi Fracture objects and Dynamics.

Ready? Let’s tune in.
