Great tutorials. I notice that the CityGen plugin does not seem to work on my MacPro with either R11 or 11.5. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Kelly
Hi Kelly -
Apparently this plug-in is a PC only thing. Sorry.
Tim
Architecture related tutorials would be highly appreciated!
Modeling and compositing in particular. They’re so hard to find…
Thx!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. They helped me learn alot.
Great job that you are doing! Keep up with this good work, the tutorials are easy to understand. Thanks from Brazil!
The best C4D tutorials so far on the web (o.k after greyscalegorilla but before them -:). Got the link from greyscale and i like the way you teach not assuming everybody knows cinema4D. The NET render tips are priceless especially p’pple who use macs like me. Keep up the good work.
BTW can a system like BOXX render (or something similar) work with my mac pro?
Best tutorial web site around!
Great Work! really helped me understand C4D.
thanx from Japan
Just watched the intro to Mograph. No lie, that was THE best tutorial on Mograph I’ve seen yet. It all actually makes sense. You’ve got a good thing going here. You have a good pace, you speak clearly, you’re not confusing, you explain … everything. This site is def. gonna rise up the ranks quickly. Wish I could save the tutorials, though. You’d get more of an audience if you were on Vimeo too. (You’d be perfect for the next Lynda.com series for C4D. Their last title for that was for version 10 I think.) Anyway, I’m stoked about the site. It’s definitely one of my favorites now. I’ll spread the word and wait impatiently for the next Mograph installment.
Thanks!
Thanks John – It’s nice to know people like yourself are enjoying the tutorials. I love teaching which is what I do when not designing or working on C4DTraining.
Most likely when we hit 25 tutorials, we’ll put them out on a DVD for like $4.99, just to cover the cost of the DVD. We have people that want to watch that don’t have access to high speed, so this will enable them to see the tutorials as well. As for Vimeo, we just set up an account for C4DTraining over the weekend. Ultimately it will be used for our contest. The problem I see with Vimeo or YouTube is the size limitation. The design has always been that our tutorials would be large enough to see what is going on without having to do any zooming… We do have a couple on YouTube at the moment. Perhaps we’ll get them up on Vimeo. It’s just another step in the workflow. We are trying to keep it as streamline as possible since everyone here volunteers their time.
You should write to Lynda and let them know about the site, or make a suggestion. I’d love to record some stuff for them.
Thanks a lot for the cool tutorials…..
great team, guys… and first of all… thanks for sharing knowledge!!
Great Team
Amazing.
Thx very much…
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Hey, I was wondering if you were on Vimeo yet and if so under what name.
And I just re-read your reply to my last post about being on Vimeo and you were concerned about the size limitation. I’m confused because Vimeo lets you make your videos ridiculously big.
Great stuff!
Yea, more to do with Youtube on the size….as for Vimeo, more to do with workflow. Like I said, everyone that works on the site volunteer their time. It’s easiest for us to post them to one location rather than several. The more steps, the less likely we are to do it. The tutorials are here… not a huge reason to put them elsewhere.
Hi guys,
I from China, On behalf of all Chinese C4D learners and myself, Appreciate your great job ~
Thank you so much…it’s nice to know people appreciate the site. Thanks for your support and keep watching, we have some new tutorials coming up soon!
Hi guys
great job and very helpful
keep it up and I hope for more tutorials to be added
I don’t speak English but that was not a problem to fully undrestand all the tutorials
thank you again and cheers from MOROCCO
Hi,
great tutorials! I learned a lot from you, and it had it effect at my work. Since I found your site I do more and more with Xpresso and MoGraph than ever. Thanks for the inspiration.
Will you do some small tutorials like only picture, or quick tips, too?
Good luck for the future and greetings from Germany.
Thank you for your great work, I am new to Cinema 4d and your magnificent tutorials have really helped enormously, I’ll be looking in frequently.
Yes you got a very very good way to teach and that’s not given to everyone so keep it up.
I personnaly have hard times with GI animation in AR3. The different options in the menu og a material : arrow texture , submenu effects plus others like colorizer and postorizer are muostly unknown to me, further more I h’aven’t seen any tutorial that would treat each of them one by one.
Lots of cool things to learn from there for everyone I guess.
It’s the first time I watch something about xpresso feeling it with ease too.
Well I wish you a good future in your adventure.
Think about challenges toon that interest me and it’s a good way to keep your audience following with attention what’s new (plus a good way to learn new things ).
Ok, by by, have fun,
Arno.
Thank you, very much for such an approachable introduction to C4D.
You don’t know much how you help me about my trainning as a Infograph…There are some way you teach me that did not know!!! More about the animation!!! Thank U so much
Glad you find the C4D tutorials helpful. I really felt like there wasn’t a site that breaks down the basics of Cinema 4D so I decided to do it myself. Stay tuned, there are more tutorials coming soon!
Nice guys, pls i want to know more about cinema 4d tutorials in the area of all the keys founctions.
thank you for this site. love the intro tutorials!, I am a student learning Cinema4D for motion graphic design and I’ve been searching for help on where to get started. There are a lot of sites with tutorials but the basic is essential and it’s great that you guys are doing this.
Merci beaucoup pour ces excellents tutoriaux !!!
Keep up the good work !
Dear Crew !
Köszönöm szépen a munkátokat (many thanks for your work).
It is a hard to find somthing usefull for C4D (for free) on the web, but I find your site, and I love your tuts, I’am waiting for the next one.

I want to know how to install explode plug in in cinema4d 11.5.
It gets installed into the plugins folder. You just copy the necessary files there.
Greetings to the C4D team.
Just discovered your site and I am blown away at the quality of your tutorials.
So much so that after just one visit and three tutorials later it was a no brainer to just buy the first 25 tutorials for the $8. I have been getting my tutorials from Greyscalegorilla, cgtuts and Motion Works, etc. and they are great also but I like the way you cover the material. I feel I get a better take away understanding of the values and attributes and not just a follow along project.
Thanks for all of the effort you put into this site and for sharing it. It is teams like yours that make this motion community so great.
Any chance of getting a tutorial on all the Tags…haven’t seen on anywhere.

Your tutorials are clear, helpful and interesting. Your charges are very low considering that the product you produce is of high quality. I’m thankful that people like you exist. I look forward to a compilation on DVD of other tutorials. Many thanks
