Exploring 3D Modeling with Cinema 4D R9 (Design Exploration) | 3d ...

In his much-anticipated new book, veteran 3D modeling and animation expert Tony Alley introduces the key concepts of building scenes and models using the latest release of Maxon's Cinema 4D, a 3D program embraced by the design community for putting the focus on creative production rather than on learning complex software. Explaining the technology in clear, design-oriented terms, Exploring 3D Modeling with Cinema 4D V9 covers basic modeling techniques, working with materials and textures, lighting, and, rendering. Throughout, the emphasis is on how designers can use Cinema 4D to meet client needs with eye catching scenes and models while exploring their own artistic impulses. Cinema 4D continues to grow in power and popularity in the design community. Its highly customizable graphic user interface is especially easy to learn and makes the software a solid choice for 2D designers making the transition to 3D and for those individuals new to graphic design, computer graphics or 3D.

The perfect book for those who do not have 3-D programs that are familiar to Paul Siegel, this is the best book not only gives you the basics of C4D, but in 3-D general. You are not really advanced technique, but gives you a great basic understanding of what makes the program tick. The book is to explore and trial and error method of lear ning seems a much better approach than some other books and tutorials. They give you the steps to do somthing, but did not explain what they do with little understanding of what you have left. Tony shows the concepts and then gives you room to experiment with the concepts and solidify your understanding. I have a 2-D Design 3-D learning and the book makes the program more understandable. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. excellent book by David Smith to be a newbie to 3D with absolutely no experience, I thought it would be better to buy a book to familiarize yourself with the program for the few available for Cinema 4D, Anne Power's book was the best rating. But that was before Cinema 4D R9, which is the version of software I have. This book by Tony Alley was just out at the moment and there have been no comments to assist in the purchase decision. Moreover, there was an example to look into the book's content, which is always helpful. After long cons ideration, I decided to take a chance and buy this book and hope for the best. Well, I was not disappointed. This book is absolutely fantastic and I'm already becoming familiar and comfortable with the program. Mr. Alley style of writing is clear, easy to understand and follow. It deserves a full five stars, and also, if that is an indication of the quality of his books, I will buy her "Exploring 3D Animation" book too. I would advise editors to subscribe to "see inside the book" so that when potential customers are looking for the product on the Amazon site by clicking the thumbnail icon in the book to get a preview of any book like this is very useful March 3 people found this review helpful. introduction to the book of John Matlock Boa aimed at the beginner to intermediate users, this book uses a series of tutorials to guide you through the design and implementation of various projects with Maxon Cinema 4D. Through these projects, most of the featu res of the program are illustrated and the reader quickly understand what the program is. Undoubtedly, Cinema 4D has many features and capabilities that can not be covered in a book, up to twice that size. Instead, the book is to teach capablilities cornerstone of the program and leave the reader to experiment with other features for yourself. The CD of the book is more complete than usual, he has a demo program for Mac and PC - Version 9.1. He has used all the pictures in the book, and files you need to complete the tutorials in the book. It also includes Cinema 4D manual, quick start guide and files in the Quick Start tutorial uses. Although you can get from Maxon's web site, it's much faster to get them off the CD. Finally, the CD also has three points in the 3D Attack Magazine Cinema 4D. I like the writing style used by the author, for me it is so clean, simple, and yet with the information I wanted. I also like the fact that some of the color images were made in the book by the author. I often think that the authors simply write and not really with the software, which they describe.
