Course went to swiftly and smooth, Ricardo was great at explaining the hierarchy and reason of how things work in the interface, also he was very attentive at checking we got everything we were going through.

I came in already knowing 3D software such as Maya and Blender but noticed Cinema 4D in most job applications so needed an in-depth course to get me to an advanced level. Ricardo was really great and took us through the basics all the way to more advanced techniques such as simulations and particles. Very confident in the program now and I'm easily able to switch it to my main software.

Ricardo the instructor was brilliant, super detailed but also patient at the same time. Our group had a varied level of C4D experience but I feel like all of us still learnt something new every day. Although it was only 3 days we have covered a lot!

Mostly relevant content for our discipline, and where it wasn't as relevant, we were able to adapt what we wanted to learn. Very flexible, well paced and friendly.

As a beginner at using cinema 4D my previous knowledge of the software was very limited, after completing the course I feel like I have learnt all the basics and more. I would feel comfortable creating a model fully by myself now.

5/5 Stars
The software itself is highly complicated but very rewarding. I really enjoyed my experience in the class with Ricardo, he was very knowledgable and was acommodating to my online tuition experience both in a classroom with other students and in the private session. Look forward to developing my knowledge of Cinema 4D would recommend this course.
